March 28, a screening of the documentary film “Operation Kagar: The Last Warning” was organized in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this event was attended by about a dozen people and the discussion after the screening drew a parallel with the intentions of Imperialism to plunder India’s natural resources, with the opening of new mines by the imperialists in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the increasing energy dependence on US imperialism.
The Joint Committee to Stop Repression in India (JCSRI), along with other organizations, called for mobilizations in several cities, among them London and Glasgow. We hereby share some of the pictures published in their social media accounts.
On 31st March, 2026 the Home Minister Amit Shah had enunciated that the Maoists are official annihilated. That there is no threat of red terror in the country. From the inception of Maoist Party onwards the Indian government had tried hard to tackle it, especially at the level of military. Indian government both under the rule of Congress and BJP had launched several military operations; from the Green Hunt to Operation Kagar. Though Maoists sustained themselves for significantly long time throughout these operations but in the last few years and specifically in the last year (2025) they have suffered a great amount of loss. The losses of their high rank leaders in this year were higher than ever.[i] This was the result of the BJP governments target to end the armed movement of Maoists by March 2026 on the pretext of which they had launched the Operation Kagar a year ago.[ii]
By the current weakened situation of Maoists, many are of the view that this is the end of Maoist armed rebellion, some even say it is the end of Maoism (as an ideology) at large. But the recent developments in North India make it hard to believe. Recently, a number Statement by a new committee of CPI(Maoist) appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Samar Bhumi’[iii] and various other Maoist news portals. The name of this committee was never heard before. It goes by the name of NCC (North Co-ordination Committee). Google shows no history of it from previous years but more deep research led to some interesting revelations about it. In 2023 a case was filed in Lucknow by NIA, which we now know as NRB revival case or the Lucknow Conspiracy case.[iv] NRB (North Regional Bureau), a Bureau of CPI(Maoist) which used to function in north India nearly 10 years ago. The NIA (National Investigating Agency) firstly arrested an old leader and CC member of CPI(Maoist), Parmod Mishra alias Sohan Da.[v] Later on, it arrested some other people (Ajay and Priyanshu)[vi] under the same case for being allegedly attempting to revive this bureau of north. Though CPI(Maoist) never revealed any developments in recent years in the North Indian part of the country, this statement in this critical period for the Maoist party, represents some interesting developments not only in the Maoist party but also of the North India’s politics which could be influenced by the presence of Maoists. Although it will not be the first time when the CPI(Maoist) has extended their work towards North India. A mere YouTube search about “Maoism in Haryana” shows significant amount work of the Maoists in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and other states till 2014-15. Even some armed squads of the Maoists were also active in Yamuna Nagar area of Haryana
LONG LIVE THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAN SOLIDARITY!
Forum Against Corporatization and Militarization (FACAM)
These protests were called in the wake of the EU-lndia Free Trade Agreement negotiations and the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights as well as to reflect upon the nature of Indian State's “Republic” on its celebration of 77th Republic Day on 26th January, 2026.
Previously, Protests and programs have also been conducted in Turkey, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Philippines, Bangladesh, Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland, USA, Greece, demanding an end to the extermination campaign being carried out under Operation Kagaar in India, in the name of development.
Forum Against Corporation and Militarization sends warm International Proletarian Revolutionary Greetings to all the organization who understood their historic responsibility in the International Movement against Imperialist Onslaught on the oppressed people’ of India and undertook this campaign.
We also send revolutionary greetings of solidarity to diaspora organizations of various other oppressed Nationalities like Kashrniri and Palestinian diaspora groups, who joined the protest in solidarity with their fellow oppressed brethren.
We appreciate the efforts of and other organizations in UK and Brussels, who exposed the European imperialist powers that aim to plunder Indian peoples rich mineral resources and our labour power at cheap rates - while holding review meetings on Human Rights. By calling upon their government to suspend EU-India Free Trade Agreement in light of the blatant human rights violations and massive displacement caused by Coporatisation, Militarisation and the genocidal war in Central India -- these comrades have held the European imperialists openly accountable to the world to not intensity and reap the spoils of war unleashed on the Indian people, particularly the Indigenous Adivasi people, under Operation Kagaar
We also lay it bare that EU-India Free Trade Agreement is nothing but on imperialist instrument to strengthen the imperialist stranglehold on India and her people for open plunder of lndia’s resources and exploitation of Indian people's labour and drainage of her market by flooding it with goods made from our own resources and own hard labour, at sky rocketing prices. It is one of the many reasons why the Indian State and the lackeys of Foreign corporates have turned the soil of Bastar and Saronda, crimson with blood of the Adivasi people and Maoist rebels.
In more than 2 years of Operation Kagaar, almost 700 Maoist rebels and Adivasi people have lost their lives in the war of corporate plunder, being unleashed by State-Corporate nexus, occupying and destroying thousands of acres of lands, rivers and forests for satisfying the bottomless pit of corporate greed. Dozens of Memorandum’s of Understandings were signed between Indian State and coporates like, Jindal, Adani, Ambani, Vedanta and Mittal, long before the everyday cold-blooded murders started. These were signed when camps were strangling the Forests of Dandaranya in Bastar and Saranda in Jharkhand, waiting in anticipation like vultures waiting for animal to die, to plunder resources after corpses start falling on the mineral rich soil.
Since the killing of hundreds of Maoists, top leaders and arrests of activists from armed and unarmed democratic movement, Bastar has seen more than 50,000 crore investment in Iron Ore mining and opening of mining blocks for auction.
Hundreds of thousands of hectare forests have been cut down for mining in hills such as Hasdeo, Niyamgiri, Bailadila, Amdai, Saranda, Rowghat, Sujagarh, apart from routine cutting of forests
to turn the entire mineral rich forested regions into large net of paramilitary camps, to act as carpet security to protect foreign corporate interest from harm, owing to people's armed and unarmed resistance.
Looking at the intensifying contradiction between the Imperialism and the oppressed people’s of the World, we recognize that a strong anti-imperialist solidarity among all oppressed people fighting against imperialist onslaught for national liberation, self-determination, democracy and sovereignty, is the call of the hour and a need for International Proletarian Movement.
We hail the rising tide of solidarity from our comrades in the International Proletarian movement, whether be it in Philippines, Peru, Turkey, Brazil, Chile, United States, UK, Brussels, Germany, among many others. We appreciate them for identifying the common thread in the struggle of the people of India, Philippines, and Palestine common enemy, i.e. imperialism and its stooge regimes.
We call upon these comrades and friends ti intensify their international propaganda and direct actions to demand an end to Operation Kagaar and imperialist plunder of Indian people’s resources.
Through this letter, we also send warm greetings to all the diaspora organizations in Europe who have been tireless in their effort to bring the genocide in Bastar and rest of Central India to the notice of the United Nation’s various mechanisms, European Union and International Human Rights Bodies. FACAM has worked with many of these organisations and recognizes their efforts to contribute to the International Campaign against Operation Kagaar. We especially appreciate the efforts of the Philippino communist and progressive organisations and Indigenous people's movement in continuously engaging with Operation Kagaar.
We appreciate the Statements released by various progressive-democratic groups such as International League of People's struggles and its various branches and affiliate organisations. We also believe that the “Early Warning and Urgent Action" call raised by United Nations Committee on Elimination of Racial Discrimination (UN CERD) ON 17th January 2026, pertaining to blatant human rights violations in Bastar and displacement of Adivasi people in Central-Eastern lndia, is a result of consistent effort of various organisations engaged in this International Campaign.
We are also very hopeful of the International Call to Action against Operation Kagaor on March 23, 2026, given by the various committees and organisations sympathic to the cause of the Indian People. We appreciate the Operation Kagaar New York Committee's decision to respond and resonate the International Call to Action.
We call upon all the revolutionary, progressive and democratic organisations and diaspora collectives to respond to the International Call to Action against Operation Kagoar on March 28, 2026.

Press Release: PCFS
Global
The People’s Coalition on Food Sovereignty (PCFS) stands in firm solidarity with the people of India against the escalating state terror of the US-backed Narendra Modi regime. On this Global Day of Action against Operation Kagar, we condemn the repression expected to intensify as the government pushes toward its declared goal of eliminating the Naxalites by the end of March.
We denounce the wave of illegal arrests, abductions, and torture carried out under the guise of counterinsurgency. Activists have been detained without cause, denied counsel, and subjected to physical and psychological abuse—part of a long-standing campaign to silence those defending the rights and interests of the poor and marginalized.
This repression targets not only individuals but also people’s movements, advocacy groups, and legal organizations, maliciously branded as “urban Naxalites” to justify harassment, surveillance, and criminalization. This pattern reflects a McCarthyist witch-hunt aimed at crushing dissent and shrinking democratic space.
Under Operation Kagaar, intensified military offensives have devastated Central India, especially Adivasi territories. These operations have led to extrajudicial killings, sexual violence, aerial bombardments, forced displacement, and the destruction of entire communities.
Rather than addressing the roots of conflict—land dispossession, exploitation, and systemic inequality—Operation Kagaar and other such counter-insurgency campaigns serve imperialist and corporate agendas, clearing ancestral lands for resource extraction and large-scale development projects. The militarization of these regions has deepened hunger, destroyed livelihoods, and eroded indigenous governance systems.
Operation Kagaar is not only modeled after US Counter-Insurgency (COIN) doctrine; it also directly complements the U.S. Indo-Pacific Strategy. As a “Major Defense Partner,” India is positioned as a regional bulwark for imperialist warmongering. It is no coincidence that the arms used by Israel in Gaza were made in India, and it is the same technology being deployed to crush the people’s resistance of the Adivasi and the rural poor in India.
We do not merely stand in solidarity; we join the global outcry against a regime that trades human lives for corporate profit. We amplify the resistance of the Indian people and demand absolute accountability for the grave crimes of the Hindutva-fascist Modi regime. Our Coalition calls for an immediate end to Operation Kagaar: stop the war on the people, defend ancestral lands, and uphold the right to food sovereignty and self-determination!
