After
the initiatives against Operation Kagar and solidarity and support
for the people's war in India carried out in recent months (we recall
the very important initiatives in Brussels on 27 January, and on 28
March in Zurich this year which had
international resonance), according to the
national and international commitments undertaken in the meetings
held in Italy, the Committee to support the people's war in India is
preparing for other initiatives that will be carried out during the
next summer.
Regarding
the large international participation in the initiatives, we
reiterate what the Committee wrote in its communiqué published after
the Zurich demonstration: "The International Committee for the
Support of the People's War in India (ICSPWI) appreciates all the
forces that have taken to the streets and considers them as a whole a
great basis for continuing this battle and a great source of
encouragement for the revolutionary and democratic forces, and for
the Communist Party of India (Maoist) who are fighting bravely in
India in these difficult hours to safeguard the Party, the People's
Army and the path and practice of people's war".
Today,
the pressing need for the continuation of the mobilizations is also
due to the fact that the fascist Hindutva government of Narendra
Modi, in particular with the active participation of its Minister of
the Interior Amit Shah, continues to carry out repression throughout
the country, a real war against the people,
always far from the international spotlight that purposely ignores
what is happening in the Indian subcontinent.
As
the Indian comrades recount through their communiqués, in order to
achieve their objectives "the armed forces are unleashing the
reign of terror on the Adivasis, from rape and killings to aerial
bombardment and burning of entire villages ... The leaders and cadres
of the CPI (Maoist), who are on the side of the people in the
struggle for their rights, are systematically murdered. We have seen
how a massive extension of forests in central India was handed over
to the multinationals immediately after the killing of the General
Secretary Comrade Basavaraj. In this climate, revolutionary mass
political organizations resist like a fortress against the fascist
agenda." (RSF)
In
fact, these attacks are daily: bombings, use of drones, deployment of
thousands of policemen, soldiers, special death squads such as CoBra,
with extrajudicial assassinations that mainly target not only those
who lead the struggles but also those who sympathize with these
struggles and denounce the repressive activity of the Hindutva
fascist government, and who for this reason become the object of
particular attention: from students, to university professors, to
poets, writers and intellectuals subjected in these days to searches
in almost the entire country and in general all accused of being
"Maoists" or "urban Maoists", intellectuals
accused and arrested and made to die in prison because they "think",
as the Indian State Prosecutor said before the Supreme Court in
relation to Dr. G.N. Saibaba, who had a disability of 94%. "The
brain is more dangerous than the body"! he said.
These
incessant attacks are directed against the workers and the Indian
masses in general, attacks on their fundamental rights: the right to
wages, work and safety at work, housing, the right to land and a
decent life, the right of women not to be raped, attacks on freedom
of expression, freedom of demonstration, religious freedom, through
forced expulsions from the forests to make room for industrial and
mining multinationals inside and outside the country that are mainly
in the hands of capitalists friends of Modi, namely the billionaires
Adani, Ambani, Agarwal, Tata, Jindal... always at the service,
therefore, of the Indian ruling classes and imperialism, not only
that of the USA, but also that of Russia, China and all the others.
The Indian government is highly appreciated by
these imperialist countries because it provides them with an immense
amount of cheap labour, made even more precarious by the reform of
labour codes, both inside the country and outside the country by
emigration. All this feeds misery (remember that the government is
forced to give 5 kilos of rice a month to about 800 million poor
people!) and unemployment of millions of young people, and it is
against those who oppose this growing misery that the government
unleashes its atrocities, while spending billions on the arms race.
A
situation that the comrades who fight against the government and who
lead the ongoing people's war, the comrades of the Communist Party of
India (Maoist) and other struggle organizations, describe as very
difficult, which also sees a fierce struggle going on against those
who would like to liquidate not only the Party but the whole
experience of the people's war, in short, a situation that has
worsened with Operation Kagaar: a ferocious operation, an unrelenting
fight, because the government wants to put an end to the ongoing
people's war.
The
deadline that the Modi government and its gang of assassins, that of
March 31, however, failed to meet, due to the resistance put in place
by the people's war, and the mobilization of many organizations of
struggle within the country; This date, on the contrary, has become a
challenge and mobilizations around the world have transformed it into
a message of liberation and revolution.
In
fact, for the proletariat the struggle of the Indian people is of
international importance and the New Democratic Revolution in India
represents one of the most important fronts of the world
anti-imperialist struggle. Its defeat or victory will have a direct
impact on the balance of forces between imperialism and the
proletarian revolution, the struggle of the peoples on a world level.
But
in recent months the genocidal Indian government, which boasts of
becoming part of the three main world economies in the coming years,
has not limited itself to unleashing even more repression against its
own people, increasingly resorting to prison and the number of
political prisoners who suffer torture, it has also worked hard to
strengthen its military apparatus at all levels and strengthen the
international consensus around its Operation Kagaar.
In
this framework of pressing search for alliances "in today's
uncertain world", as Modi repeated several times in his speech
to the Knesset, to the Israeli parliament on February 25, an
"uncertainty" due to the tendency to world war for a new
division of the world, "visits" to various countries have
begun, starting, precisely, with Nazi-Zionist Israel, accused by the
UN once again of genocide of the children of Gaza, spending honeyed
words to make even stronger military and commercial agreements and
confirming the close ideological link between Zionism and Hindutva
fascism.
Modi
then moved from the Italy of the fascist Meloni in May, and in both
cases, elevating bilateral relations through the Special Strategic
Partnership, he made even stronger agreements from a political point
of view, from a commercial point of view with the IMEC corridor and
military for the strengthening of the war apparatus.
It
is for all this that, as was said in the speech in the square at the
end of the demonstration in Zurich, the tasks of the International
Support Committee, the supporters of the people's war in India and
the Communist Party of India (Maoist), are to continue the
denunciation and all-out mobilization within the "International
Emergency Campaign" against
Operation Kagaar.
In
the months of July, August and September, therefore, other
initiatives are planned in Italy, such as a demonstration at the
Indian embassy and an assembly in Rome against repression and for the
release of political prisoners, an information campaign and
organization of Indian workers and an anti-imperialist mobilization
against the IMEC project, with particular regard to relations between
India and the Italy of the fascist Meloni, and relations between
India and Israel, both also complicit in the genocide in Palestine.
