<div align="center" class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: red;">Let's rededicate ourselves to fulfill the cherished dreams of thousands of martyrs including Comrades Ramji, Shrikant, Sheshanna, Suneeta, Ranita, Sukku, Mahesh, Mangli, Paklu, Pramod and Shivaji!</span></b></span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">July 28 has a special significance in the history of Indian Revolution. Comrade Charu Mazumdar and Comrade Kanhai Chatterjee, who broke the backs of the revisionism deep-rooted for decades in the Indian Communist Movement and established the path of protracted people's war for the Indian Revolution, emerged as the founder-leaders of CPI (Maoist). On this day in 1972, Comrade Charu Mazumdar succumbed to police torture. In the path directed by these two great comrades, the Indian Revolution is marching forward unabatedly for the last 45 years facing many upheavals, defeats and setbacks. Even if it faced setback at one place, by gaining strength in other places, it stood as a ray of hope for all the oppressed masses of entire country. This 45-year bloodstained history contains invaluable sacrifices of more than 15 thousand martyrs. By virtue of these sacrifices, revolutionary movement has been advancing raising the slogan `Naxalbari Ek Hi Rasta', with the aim of building liberated areas through area-wise seizure of political power. July 28 is an important day to commemorate the sacrifices of all the martyrs and to rededicate ourselves to fulfill their cherished dreams.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">In the last one year, nearly 150 comrades have sacrificed their lives all over the country. Forty of them are from Dandakaranya (DK). These martyrs include higher leadership comrades, party members, PLGA commanders, red fighters, mass organization activists, revolutionary people's committee representatives and revolutionary masses. Many of these have lost their lives in fake encounters carried out by government mercenary forces while others have laid down their lives fighting heroically with the enemy forces. Few of them have lost their lives due to illness and in accidents. On the occasion of July 28, let's commemorate each and every martyr and pledge to fight relentlessly to fulfill their dream of building a new democratic India free of all forms of exploitation and oppression.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">On November 24, 2011, in Burishole jungles of West Bengal, police and paramilitary forces carried out a covert operation and killed Party's politburo member and dynamic mass leader Comrade Mallojula Koteswarlu (Ramji/Kishenji) in a most inhuman manner. For the last 38 years, Comrade Ramji carried out various responsibilities at different areas all over the country in the revolutionary movement. From the days of Jagityal `Jaitrayatra' to of late Jungalmahal mass movement, he led various mass struggles. From 1987 to 1993, he was instrumental in leading the movement in Dandakaranya. After many foul plays to assassinate him, enemy at the end succeeded in it. With the revolutionary spirit of Comrade Ramji, by intensifying mass struggles and people's war we can create many more great leaders like him.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">DK special zonal committee member Comrade Harak (Shrikant) passed away on February 26, 2012 due to serious illness. Comrade Harak had joined the Party in 1993. From 1998 onwards, he took responsibilities of the movement in Gadchiroli district and played a key role in it. In spite of serious heart ailment, he insisted to be among the people to carry out mass work incessantly. In the end, he lost his life amidst the downtrodden. By traversing firmly in his path, we can create millions of successors of the revolution.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">On March 18, North Telangana movement has lost another great leader. SZCM Comrade Gundeti Shankar (Sheshanna) lost his life due to snake bite. Revolution is not a feast. It's a bloody and tough class war full of dangers, difficulties and constraints. For the last 30 years, Comrade Sheshanna as a true mass leader strived firmly with determination for the cause of revolution. The Telangana soil would keep giving birth to many more great revolutionaries like Comrade Sheshanna.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Senior Party activist Comrade Suneeta (Swaroopa) also lost her life on March 18, 2012 due to breast cancer. As an ideal communist she held the revolutionary flag aloft for 30 years. She stands as a real role model for the present generations who stood strong in the revolution till her last breath.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">On August 20, 2011, Gadchiroli's Makadchuvva village witnessed an unprecedented event in the contemporary history. Comrade Ramko Hichami (Ranita) alone courageously fought the enemy encirclement of hundreds of forces and thus added a new chapter in it. This heroic woman guerilla killed three CoBRA/C-60 commandos and seriously injured four others before achieving the martyrdom. Comrade Ranita's bravery and sacrifice always be inspiring to all the fighters of PLGA.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">On January 27, 2012, DVCM Comrade Mangu Paddam (Sukku) laid down his life while fighting the enemy forces heroically at Raigarh district in Chhattisgarh. On October 11, 2011, in a daring ambush carried out by PLGA on the enemy forces near Netanar village, Kanger valley LGS commander comrade Mahesh laid down his precious life fighting ferociously. On August 16, 2011, in East Bastar division, at Tirka village Comrades Badru, Gopi and Akash sacrificed their lives in a daring resistance. Unable to face them, showing cowardice enemy burnt the house in which the red fighters got trapped. On March 26, 2012, in a PLGA ambush at Bhejji, Comrades Mangli and Paklu martyred fighting gallantly with the enemy forces. On May 16, 2012, on the occasion of `Bharat Bandh', Comrade Shivaji, PPCM of COY-9, lost his life in an enemy attack at midnight near Bhairamgarh. West Bastar division action team commander Comrade Pramod lost his life in attempt on the life of a notorious enemy of the people, Rajkumar Tamo. Comrade Govind, area committee member of National Park area lost his life with snake bite. Many more comrades have laid down their lives fighting with the cruel enemy. Madkami Maasa, Podiyami Masa, Nengi Yadav, Dunga Dhurwa and other unarmed people succumbed to fake encounters and unabated violence perpetrated by the police and paramilitary forces.</span></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dear People and Comrades!</span></b></div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Today the ruling classes with the sole aim of wiping out the Maoist movement are carrying out a countrywide cruel war in the name of Operation Green Hunt (OGH). In this war, in addition to the deployment of hundreds of thousands of paramilitary forces, deployment of Army has also been commenced now. On the pretext of `training' Army has stepped into Bastar region. Actually the aim of this war is not just to suppress the Maoist movement, but to suppress all movements and forces which come in the way and form an obstacle for handing over the country's resources to foreign capitalists and corporate houses. In Dandakaranya and in some other places in the country, denouncing the fake development model of the ruling classes, the real people-centered development schemes have come forward as an alternative. The progress and growth of this alternative has become unacceptable to the ruling classes and their imperialist masters. That's why they are hurrying to end this war by putting every effort at their disposal. Worldwide imperialist economic crisis is also hastening them up to end this war quickly. That's why they are indulging in barbarism, mindless violence and massacres. As a part of this only, they are eliminating the revolutionaries and the leaders of the revolutionary movement.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="yiv391250588MsoNormal" id="yui_3_2_0_1_1342851156033287" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;">
<span id="yui_3_2_0_1_1342851156033284" style="font-size: 11pt;">Repression always leads to revolution is a historical truth. Ideas cannot be wiped out by killing people. The exploitative ruling classes of the country are getting exposed day by day. The issues of hunger, poverty, unemployment, corruption, scams, price-hike, displacement etc. are making people restless. None of the parliamentary political parties has any credibility in the eyes of the people. In this context, the fact is that the Maoist People's War which is marching ahead with matchless sacrifices and heroic struggles, stands as a great inspiration to the toiling masses of the country. With the aim to spread this inspiration further, let's commemorate Martyrs' week from July 28 to August 3. Let's pledge to expand the people's war across the length and breadth of the country and to intensify the guerilla war by safeguarding the Party. Let's decorate martyrs' columns built in the villages and build new ones at predetermined places as part of propagating the priceless sacrifices of the martyrs in every corner. Let's emulate the ideals of the martyrs and propagate their spirited life histories among the vast people. With the inspiration of the great martyrs, let's consolidate the revolutionary movement as per the aspirations of the billions of Indian oppressed masses. Let's expand the people's political power by intensifying the class struggle.</span></div>

This proposal came exactly at a time when thousand Indian Army soldiers had entered Bastar to participate in the Operation Green Hunt (OGH) against the poorest people of India. In the backdrop of the signing of MoUs worth billions of rupees worth to loot the natural resources of our mineral-rich country after many rounds of talks, the President is talking about `peace talks'. She is proposing these `talks' when already 750 sq kms of forest land where dozens of villages and thousands of <i>Mariya Adivasi</i> community reside have been handed over to the Army without any `talks' whatsoever.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv948232142MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Pratibha Patil, incidentally the first woman President of India, is advising us to shun violence even before the wounds of women of Tadimetla, Morpalli, Pulanpadu and Timmapur villages at the southern tip of Chhattisgarh have healed after the brutal atrocities and violence of the government forces perpetrated on them. She is advising us to abjure violence when state violence is a daily occurrence in Dandakaranya, Bihar-Jharkhand, Odisha, Maharashtra and many other areas, particularly the Maoist movement areas or <i>Adivasi</i> areas. In fact, state violence expresses itself in many forms. It is carried on in various methods at various times. For example, today it hiked the price of kerosene by two rupees, diesel by three rupees and cooking gas by 50 rupees. This is one form of violence which makes the lives of people even more unbearable. But the President doesn't have any issue with such kinds of `violence'.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv948232142MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The first citizen of India is even asking us to `join the mainstream'. The `heroes' of the `mainstream' which she is referring to, i.e., the scamster and gangster corrupt ministers, political leaders, corporate sharks, and their comprador lackeys are facing the hatred of the people from <i>Dilli to gully. </i>The workers, peasants, <i>Adivasis, Dalits</i>, minorities and women face nothing but injustice, atrocities and insults in this so-called `mainstream' of hers.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv948232142MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Our party's spokesperson and Politburo member Comrade Azad was killed in a fake encounter after he declared our stand to this kind of a proposal for talks by this very government and Pratibha Patil is inviting us for talks in this backdrop. Incidentally this invitation is being extended exactly one week before his first death anniversary. Exactly one year back Chidambaram and his killer intelligence-police dogs must have been giving final touches to the conspiracy to kill him. The state headed by this President responded by killing him when he clearly placed before the people of this country and the world our party's stand about talks. Later too many veteran Maoist leaders were arrested and put in jails and this is a continuous process. Even Maoist leaders as old as 60 or 70 years are also put in jails and tortured apart from not providing them minimum medical treatment. False cases are foisted on them in dozens of states and the state is conspiring to keep them in jails lifelong.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv948232142MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;" class="yiv948232142MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Our earnest appeal to the people of our country !</span></span></span></b></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv948232142MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Demand the President that the `War on People' by the Indian State – OGH be stopped immediately, that Army training in Bastar be stopped and that Army and paramilitary forces be withdrawn from all the Maoist movement areas before the government proposes for any `Peace Talks'.

<br />all the incidents of bomb blasts including Mecca Masjid, Malegaon and Samjhauta Express blasts!</span></span></span></b></p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"> <p>Communist Party of India (Maoist) severely condemns the bomb blasts took place in Mumbai on July 13, 2011. These incidents of serial blasts are inhuman in which at least 20 innocent people have lost their lives and nearly 80 people were injured. Our Party also strongly condemns the devious and baseless allegations of exploitative ruling classes and their police/intelligence agencies who are trying to blame our Party without any clue of who might be responsible for these bomb blasts and even before the investigation is started. The oppressed people of India know very well that our Party which is fighting for the emancipation of people would never commit such attacks aimed at innocent people putting their lives at peril. Murderous ruling classes and their corporate media are deliberately blaming us so as to depict our Party as a terrorist organization and our just people¡¯s movement as terrorist one, and thus to justify their brutal suppression campaign and the Army deployment in the second phase of ongoing Operation Green Hunt ¡ª the War On People.</p> <p>If we retrospect into the earlier incidents of bomb blasts took place till this day in our country, we would never know the real culprits hidden behind those who are being shown as offenders. It¡¯s become a norm now that whenever such incidents of bomb blasts take place, the pro-Hindu fundamentalist Indian state, its intelligence/investigative wings and the corporate media immediately claim that Muslims and so-called Islamic terrorist organizations are responsible. In fact, as part of a conspiracy and collusion of the Indian state which always try to blame Muslim society for every attack of this kind and the top leaders of the ruling class parties like Congress and BJP, the IB itself created an illusionary organization named Indian Mujahiddin which is being held responsible for every incident of bomb blast by the authorities. Corporate media barons and bankrupt intellectuals servile to the ruling classes are branding all those who ask for proof of these allegations and who demand for comprehensive and impartial probe as outright traitors and attacking them belligerently, irrationally and frantically. Thus people are being kept at bay from knowing the truth. In our so-called biggest democracy on the earth, the big joke is not asking for incisive probe has become the touchstone for patriotism and the person who asks for any probe is branded as traitor!</p> <p>In earlier instances of bomb blasts in Mecca Masjid, Malegaon, Samjhauta Express etc. hundreds of innocent Muslims, particularly the youths were arrested, tortured inhumanly and sent to jails. Many were killed in fake encounters. Even after the obvious evidences came forth that the Hindu fanatics belonging to the right-wing RSS gang were responsible for those ghastly incidents, no justice was done to the Muslims. No leader of the Hindu terrorist organizations like <i>Abhinav Bharat</i>, Hindu defence force, <i>Rashtriya Jagaran</i> <i>Manch, Bajrang Dal, Viswa Hindu Parishad</i> has been punished until this day. At the same time, death sentence given to Afzal Guru in the case of attack on Parliament and to 11 Muslims in Godhra train carnage case recently on March 1 are some examples of the anti-Muslim and pro-Hindutva character of the Indian State. While the butchers like Narendra Modi whose hands have stained with the blood of over 2,000 innocent Muslims are freely wandering in the corridors of power, Muslims are being meted out stringent punishments by virtue of bizarre and inadequate evidences. And this has been spreading the feeling of severe frustration and fury among the Muslim masses.</p> <p>It¡¯s an obvious fact that because of the grisly incidents like the destruction of the Babri Masjid and Gujarat genocide, the Muslim community in general, a large section of Muslim youth in particular, has become furious and outrageous against the Indian ruling classes. Another irrefutable fact is that this situation has given birth to some Islamic organizations. Exploiting this situation and by taking organizations of this sort into their grip or by misleading them in a deceitful manner or by even creating some new organizations of this kind, both India¡¯s and Pakistan¡¯s intelligence agencies like RAW, IB, ISI are engineering bomb blasts and other attacks in both countries as part of serving their vested political interests. Failing to identify their real enemies many a frustrated Muslim youths are stuck in this lattice and taking part in acts of mindless violence of this kind. Thus they are taking of the lives of innocent people. This is such a vicious cycle where these youths don¡¯t even know in whose hands are they acting and whose vested interests are being fulfilled with such attacks in deed.</p> <p>On the other hand, after it was clearly exposed that an organization called Abhinav Bharat belonged to the <i>Sangh</i> gang (i.e. RSS) was responsible for bomb blasts of Malegaon, Mecca Masjid and Samjhauta Express, people of India have started seeing Saffron terrorism as a dangerous trend. When it became obvious that the Saffron terrorists are responsible for Ajmer Sherif bomb blast also, the demand for a review of all investigations done into the incidents of bomb blasts in various places of our country has come forth. The Muslim youths of Malegaon and Hyderabad have demanded that the government should apologize for the police atrocities inflicted on them. Despite of all its rhetoric, the Congress-led UPA government has been instigating Saffron terrorism as a part of promoting its wicked political motives. The corporate media which act hand in glove with Hindu fundamentalism in general, on the one hand, attack Muslims and Islamic organizations aggressively without any clear evidence and on the other hand, report as less as possible even when there is evident proof is available that the Saffron terrorist organizations were responsible for various incidents of bomb blasts.</p> <p>If we see in this backdrop, we could arrive at the conclusion that Saffron terrorist organizations or so-called Islamic militant organizations sponsored by the very intelligence agencies like IB, RAW might have committed these heinous acts of July 13 Mumbai bomb blasts. It¡¯s also likely that the mafia gangs hand in glove with police top brass and ruling class political leaders could have committed these attacks. Whoever else has done this, only the interests of ruling classes would be served with such acts of mindless violence. Firstly, people¡¯s attention could be diverted from the issues like price rise, corruption, scams, black money, Swiss banks accounts which have become burning issues in the country now. Secondly, by posing terrorism as biggest danger, even more draconian laws could be prepared and the teeth of State¡¯s suppressive machinery could be sharpened by importing arms and technology from imperialist countries on a massive scale misusing trillions of rupees of hard earned people¡¯s money. Thirdly, by supporting directly or indirectly all invasive wars, attacks and intimidations of US imperialism going on in the name of ¡®Global War on Terror¡¯ and thus by acting as its junior partner in south Asia region, the Indian State could go ahead reducing the country more servile to it by signing the treacherous treaties like Homeland security, civil nuclear deal etc. Fourthly, using the pretext of terrorism, public consent could be built for crushing the people¡¯s movements and growing Maoist revolutionary movement militarily which are surging against anti-people and pro-imperialist neo-liberal policies of the governments. Apart from this, consolidating Hindu vote bank by blaming Muslims and Islamic organizations every time without any proof and diverting the people¡¯s attention from the basic problems of our country like food, clothing, shelter, price rise, unemployment, poverty, starvation, displacement etc. are necessary for both Congress and BJP and for the feudal and comprador bourgeoisie classes whom they represent, so that their exploitative rule can be carried on unchecked.</p> <p>However, Communist Party of India (Maoist) believes that the real perpetrators of Mumbai blasts could be traced only through an impartial and independent probe. Our Party humbly appeals the masses and democrats of the country to not to sway away with the malicious propaganda, falsehood and prejudices unleashed by the ruling classes, their intelligence agencies and the corporate media in a mad, one-sided and irrational manner. Our Party demands to uncover the culprits responsible for these blasts and punish them severely. At the same time, our Party calls upon entire people of the country to demand the governments for impartial and independent probes into all incidents of bomb blasts that took place since 1992 and for unconditional release of Muslims and Christians who are languishing in various jails with false cases. Our Party also calls upon the people of the country to demand to punish all those Saffron terrorist leaders who are responsible for all the attacks perpetrated on religious minorities including the Babri Masjid destruction, Gujarat genocide, Kandhamal (Odisha) attacks and to condemn Hindu religious fundamentalism and all other religious chauvinisms. </p></span></span><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <p align="right">

Jeeten Marandi and others have always worked openly and the organizations they are working for are not banned organizations. Pronouncing death sentences in a case with which they had no connection whatsoever is a clear is nothing but an act of revenge on them as they are standing firmly with the people using song and dance in all their anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggles, particularly against displacement. As part of Operation Green Hunt launched to suppress the Maoist movement in the country, particularly in Central and Eastern India, the central and state governments have been resorting to the most brutal and heinous atrocities one could imagine on the poorest of the poor – the Adivasis of this country and these latest death sentences are one more proof of this. The cruelest face of OGH could be seen in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha and that too in the Adivasi areas of these states where the Maoist movement is stronger. </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv441546720MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">Jeeten Marandi is a well-known Adivasi cultural artiste and leader of Jharkhand Abhen, a cultural organization of Jharkhand. He is a leader of the All India League for revolutionary Culture and has toured the length and breadth of India propagating revolutionary songs and culture. Anil Ram, Manoj Rajwar and Chhatrapati Mandal are also Adivasi and Dalit cultural artistes. Jeeten displayed his cultural talents since he was a child and gradually developed himself into one of the finest artistes this country has ever produced. It was only natural that as a conscious child he could not ignore the plight of the Adivasi society of which he himself was a part. His social investigation of the root causes for the poverty, exploitation and oppression of Adivasis naturally led him to revolutionary politics and he and his cultural organization propagated revolutionary politics to awaken political consciousness among the people. </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv441546720MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">Propagating one's ideas openly is not a crime and nobody can be punished for that. The ruling classes of India are not ready to tolerate any kind of dissent and have been resorting to all kinds of ploys to stifle the voices of dissent to its pro-imperialist and anti-people policies aiming to loot the natural resources and rich mineral wealth of the people. As true people's artistes they have been in the forefront in the anti-displacement movement in Jharkhand which is giving one of the toughest resistances in this matter. It is very clear that the state is punishing them for these political activities and not for some Chilkari case which everybody knows is just one of the dozens of false cases foisted on them. In the bitter class struggle fought against feudalism in Bihar and Jharkhand massacres were perpetrated by the land lords through their private armies on the peasantry, particularly on the dalits. The peasantry had to resort to counter-violence in self-defence and incidents like Chilkari are a part of it. The state instead of looking into the root causes for such incidents and addressing them, is trying to use them to foist false cases on mass organization activists to stifle their voices of dissent. <span> </span>Firstly they slapped a case of sedition on Jeeten Marandi in 2007 with the allegation that he made inflammatory speeches in front of Raj Bhavan in Ranchi on the issue of release of political prisoners and have been harassing him ever since with incarceration and false cases. Even before that he has been arrested many times and sometimes beaten brutally. This death sentence comes as a culmination of all these conspiracies to stifle his voice forever. The state is so shameless in its callousness that it has foisted some cases of Pirtand and Teesri P.S. which happened when Jeeten was in jail!</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv441546720MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">This country has a 200 year long history of colonial rule under the British which was consequently witness to countless Adivasi rebellions. British imperialism sought to suppress these rebellions by using brute force with the advantage of modern weapons they had and hanging of the rebel leaders was one consistent tactic it had used. The comprador Indian ruling classes which inherited this mantle of brute suppression from them are following in their footsteps. Comrades Bhumaih and Kista Goud were the first revolutionary peasant activists to be hanged in `independent India' and later death sentences were pronounced on many revolutionary activists, particularly on the revolutionary peasant activists in Bihar (which included the present Jharkhand) implicating them in false cases. People's lawyers and civil rights leaders like comrades KG Kannabiran and Pattipati Venkateswarlu as part of their civil rights organizations have vehemently fought against the death sentences pronounced on the revolutionaries both in the courts and outside and built broad movements not only with the immediate demands of annulling the death sentences in particular cases but also for ending capital punishment. It is the necessary to continue this fight on a broader scale as it is obvious that the state would resort to more such fascist acts apart from the massacres, false encounters and atrocities perpetrated on the Adivasi hamlets on a daily basis. Singanna of Narayanapatna was killed point blank in police firings, Lalmohan Tudu of Lalgarh was killed in a `fake encounter' and now comes this death sentence on Jeeten Marandi of Jharkhand. This is all part of the conspiracy to kill the people's leaders who emerged from the people's movements waged against feudalism, comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and imperialism. By rendering the movements leaderless they want to remove all hurdles to their loot of natural resources in the Adivasi areas.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv441546720MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">As Jeeten and other people present in the court sang in the court immediately after the death sentences were pronounced – `that day would definitely come' when people would put an end to all these fascist acts of the state with powerful mass upsurges. Neither death sentences nor false encounters can kill the spirit of true leaders of the people and they would fight to the end.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv441546720MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">CPI (Maoist) demands that the death sentences of Jeeten Marandi, Anil Ram, Manoj Rajwar and Chhatrapati Mandal be annulled immediately.

<br />DANDAKARANYA SPECIAL ZONAL COMMITTEE
<br />Press Release
<br />
<br />July 7, 2011
<br />An Appeal from Maoists to SPOs (Special Police Officers)
<br />Defeat the ploys of the government to divide us and rule!
<br />Stop fighting for the exploiters and oppressors
<br />and come back to your villages!!
<br /></div>
<br />The Supreme Court delivered a judgment on the petition filed by social activist Nandini Sundar, historian Ramchandra Guha and ex-bureaucrat E.A.S. Sharma on July 4, 2011 and ordered the Chhattisgarh government that appointment of Adivasis as SPOs on the pretext of fighting Maoists and arming them with guns should be stopped. The SC opined that the very appointment of SPOs is unconstitutional. Previously too it had commented several times in the negative about Salwa Judum, SPO and Koya commandos.
<br />In fact, since the launch of the fascist repressive campaign in the name of Salwa Judum (SJ) by the central and state governments in a planned manner, the process of appointing Adivasi youth as SPOs began. Since then in a series of repressive campaigns in the name of SJ and later in the name of Operation Green Hunt (OGH) nearly 700 villages were destroyed. Each village was burnt down in phases. More than 1200 people were killed. Hundreds of women were gang raped. Many of them were murdered too. Granaries were razed to ground. Properties were looted. Hens, pigs and goats were whisked away. In all these terrorizing acts SPOs recruited from Adivasis were pushed to the forefront. It was the SPOs that were pushed to the forefront to act as guides to the paramilitary forces and to identify the people and their houses when they attack villages. Later due to the decision taken to recruit SPOs on a huge scale their numbers increased to nearly 5,000. Some selected SPOs were given training by Greyhounds and Rashtriya Rifles of Indian Army and a new force called Koya commando was constituted. As it was not possible to suppress the Maoist movement even with the repressive methods employed by all these types of armed forces, the state has now deployed the Army as its last resort. Though this deployment is done in the name of `training' at present, in fact the process of directly using the Army in the `War on People' has started.
<br />The ruling classes have launched this unjust war against the people with the evil design of turning the whole of Dandakaranya which is home to immense natural resources into the grazing field for MNC and big bourgeoisie corporate loot. They took up a policy of displacing people from the villages and forests on a huge scale to implement this plan. Local Adivasi youth were appointed as SPOs and Koya commandos and countless atrocities were perpetrated through them.
<br />Our party believes that many of the SPOs had not gone on their own will and that they had turned into SPOs due to several kinds of pressures. Several of them were arrested, forcefully shifted to `relief' camps, beaten, abused, threatened that they would be killed and thus turned into SPOs. Though at first they turned into SPOs fearing state terror, later gradually they became part of the force and have participated in all the atrocities perpetrated on the people. Some of the SPOs have participated in violence and atrocities on people against their will. They are feeling sorry for that. Several of the SPOs are not even aware that they have been used as pawns in the brutal orgy of terror and violence unleashed by white and khaki robed compradors like Mahendra Karma, Raman Singh, Viswaranjan, Nankiram by deploying thousands of police, paramilitary, Naga-Mizo battalions etc.
<br />Home minister Chidambaram who is acting as the CEO of OGH, the war on people announced that he would conduct a meeting with chief ministers of the states where the Maoist movement is strong in the light of the above judgment. It is obvious that this meeting is being conducted with the conspiracy of finding out ways to continue this system of SPOs and Koya commandos under a different name. Politicians, top police brass and bureaucrats from Delhi and Raipur are now cracking their heads to somehow continue this SPO system in this unjust war on the people.
<br />We want to make it clear to all the SPOs that this war is not between them and us. This war is being fought between a small minority of exploiters and the entire toiling masses of this country. On one side are the 95 percent of oppressed masses – the workers, peasants, middle classes, dalits, Adivasis, petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie; on the other side are the big landlords and the comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie. These enemy classes have the complete support of the imperialists. These exploiting classes are using you as pawns by recruiting you into their repressive machinery. You are made into guinea pigs. As part of their `divide and rule' policy they are bringing a section of the people to the forefront and are trying to portray this as a `civil war' between the people. They stood you against the very people of whom you were once a part. `Patriotism' and `defence of the country' are some of the lies used by the ruling classes to incite you against the people's movements that are fought with just demands. In fact, it is these very classes which are using you as cannon fodder that are the biggest enemies to our country. They are scamsters who have resorted to scams worth billions of rupees; they have mortgaged not only the riches of our country but also its sovereignty for the sake of kickbacks; they have stashed away billions of rupees of black money in Swiss banks by indiscriminate loot of the people of our country. It is due to these scamsters and gangsters that 77 percent of our population is not able to eat even two times per day. They have pushed us into the quagmire of poverty, price rises, unemployment, epidemics, starvation deaths, malnutrition etc. So do identify your real enemies. Don't forget that your barrels are pointing at your very own people at present.
<br />Dandakaranya Special Zonal committee of CPI (Maoist) calls upon all the SPOs to leave their jobs and come back to their villages. We, the party and the people, promise to rehabilitate all those SPOs who come back to their villages, accept all the crimes they have committed and seek the mercy of the people while severing all kinds of connections with the government machinery. Janatana Sarkar, the people's government, would provide them lands and other instruments of production. They would be provided a guarantee for livelihood. So, we appeal to all the SPOs to come out of the vicious circle and the false propaganda of these exploitative governments. Do not crave for the morsels thrown by them, try to stand on your own feet and live with raised heads among the people of your villages. Do not live a life of insecurity and restlessness. Stand in support of the just struggles of the people of Dandakaranya fought against the absolute corporate loot of invaluable natural riches and for right over Jal-Jungle-Zameen.

These two acts not just coincided, but there was a conspiratorial coordination between them. Raoghat hills are located just 25 kilometers away from Narayanpur (in Maad region), a district headquarter town, where the Raman Singh government of Chhattisgarh has given permission to the Army to acquire 750 square kilometers (i.e. 185,250+ acres) of land. Now so many notorious MNCs will rush into this area to rob the iron ore which is known for its best quality. From one side, the Army and from other side, the corporate companies are trying to gulp down the whole Maad region which is the motherland of <i>Maria </i>and <i>Gond</i> adivasis, the primitive tribal communities of Bastar.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">In 2006, before the Raoghat project is commenced, some accusations were made against the management of BSP that it had illicitly leased out some of the deposits of Raoghat mines to Tata and NECO companies. People believed strongly that the BSP management was acting as paw in the hands of big business houses such as Tata, Essar, Jindal, NECO etc. But then it had cleverly managed it and stated that there was no such thing. But lately the chairperson of the SAIL, Chandrashekhar Verma himself has declared that they are going to privatize Raoghat mines and global tenders would be invited for this. (Source: Hindi daily <i>Dainik Bhaskar, </i>May 24, 2011). With this, now the game of hide-and-seek is over! Intentions of the exploitative governments are very clear! With the neo-liberal policies dictated by the imperialist masters getting implemented so openly, the MNCs would capture not just Raoghat mines; they would even buy the BSP or buy the SAIL itself. The recent examples of POSCO, Vedanta etc. of other states also clearly indicate this trend.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">It's believed that Raoghat hills are having 7.4 billion tonnes of iron ore which is known for finest quality with 62 percent Fe grade. BSP is supposed to excavate 511 million tonnes of iron ore. Construction of Dalli-Raoghat-Jagdalpur railway line is underway for this purpose. Government has already started grabbing the lands forcefully from the peasants between Dalli and Raoghat. But it's facing stiff resistance from the local people.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">This project in fact is an old one. In 1992, government was forced to give up implementing this project due to massive protests of people. In Antagarh, ten thousand adivasis had taken a massive procession to register their strong opposition to the proposed mining project. But the state had responded with repressive methods as always happens. A police camp was set up on the top of these hills. That camp is still present there. Our Party has been actively supporting this just struggle.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Local people are opposing this project because 3,278 hectares of forests would completely be destroyed. Apart from this, large portions of adjoining forests would also be destroyed. River Mendhki and so many other streams <span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black;">flowing through the region</span></span> would get polluted. <span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black;">The farming will be destroyed so much that it is difficult to quantify. Local people see these mountains as their cultural centers and ritual faith. After the opening up of the mines these will be buried for ever. Many environmentalists believe that environment and monsoon from the perspective of Bastar, Raoghat Mountains are extremely important. With Raoghat mining project the existence of 23 villages will immediately be endangered. Further, 13 villages of adivasis might be uprooted in Chargaon area, next to this mine proposed by a private company of NECO Jaiswaals. (And now if you add the proposed massive acquisition of land by the Army - bloated 750 square kilometers - you can't imagine that the existence of how many villages is going to disappear!)</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">On the issue of where to setup township for the proposed mines, an ugly tussle is going on amongst the business classes of Narayanpur and Antagarh. These selfish people do not worry at all about how many villages will be destroyed, how many thousands of tribals will be displaced, how much forest will be cut, how many rivers will be polluted and to what extent the tribal culture will be destroyed, when the mining work is started in this region. Overall, they don't bother about the oncoming destruction in this region. They are supporting the government's false claims of 'Bastar development' because they think that their own business will grow with this at the price of whatsoever.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Government still makes the argument in support of railway line and mine that the digging up of Raoghat mines is necessary as the mines of Dalli Rajhara which are supplying the raw material to the Bhilai steel plant are going to end up.<span> </span>It's making dubious propaganda that if the mining will not start in Raoghat, BSP could be stopped due to the scarcity of raw material, threatening the future of the thousands of BSP workers. Thus, such an environment is created that anybody dares to oppose Raoghat mine will immediately be labeled as 'anti-development'. In fact, in the guise of this promotion, the government and administration have put a veil over many realities.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Dalli town today is in a position of almost desolation only because of the wrong policies of the BSP, particularly of indiscriminate mechanization. All rivers and streams of this area have been badly polluted. In Dalli and several surrounding villages, as red dirt coming of mines and roads turned on to the fields of farming, and the farming has been fully destroyed. In Dalli where 16 thousand workers used to work earlier, today the number has decreased drastically to 1200. Can the businessmen of Narayanpur and Antagarh and the contractors sitting in Raipur and Jagdalpur give the guarantee that after 20-25 years this region will not become another Dalli?</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">If the government is really worried that the 'BSP will be closed if it won't get raw materials supply', then why doesn't it stop selling iron ore of Bailadilla mines to the multinational companies of Japan, China and Korea? </span></span><span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">In fact, many sponge iron factories in Raipur and Bhilai have closed due to lack of iron ore supplies. They appealed to the government several times for supply of raw material from Bailadilla for them and to stop selling the iron ore to foreign companies. Doesn't this prove that the interests of big and foreign capitalists are paramount for the spineless rulers of our country? Isn't the government's "concern" about the future of BSP workers just a pose? Isn't this just a ploy being adopted to deal with the opposition putting up against proposed the Raoghat mine?</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">We urge all the workers, employees and other people who are concerned with the future of the BSP, that they should recognize who actually is a threat to the BSP. In 1960s, when the Bhilai steel plant was founded, the annual production was 1.5 million tonnes and the number of workers was 95 thousand. Today, the production has been increased to 4.5 million tonnes, but the number of workers is reduced to less than 37 thousand. Contracting, mechanization and partial privatization process are in full swing in BSP. Many facilities for workers have been taken back. New recruitment and compassionate appointment is closed. BSP is planning to increase the production to 7.5 million tonnes by 2012-13, taking up further modernization and expansion. This means even more layoffs and 'retirements' of workers will take place. And even there is a talk of selling out of BSP to Tatas, Mittals or Jindals! BALCO experience is before us. Overall, the policies of imperialist globalization which have been implemented by governments are responsible for this situation. So, you must fight against the anti-worker and pro-capitalist policies of the governments to protect the BSP. You should not fell prey to the designs of the ruling classes to inflict destruction to the <i>Jal-Jungle-Zameen</i> by opening mines in another area. You should fight against this too. Entire people of Dandakaranya will support your struggles.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span class="yiv1321379294longtext"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">The Special Zonal Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) calls upon all the workers and farmers of Chhattisgarh and democratic and patriotic forces of our country to demand the closure of Raoghat project; to register their protest to mechanization, contracting and all other anti-worker policies being implemented in Bhilai steel plant and other industries; to demand to stop selling the high quality iron ore to the foreign companies from Bailadilla; to lend support to the people of Dandakaranya who are fighting for the right over their <i>Jal-Jungle-Zameen</i>; and to oppose the Army deployment in Bastar to suppress their just struggles.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: right;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal" align="right"><b><span style="font-family: Walkman-Chanakya-902; font-size: 16pt;"></span></b></p> <p style="text-align: right;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal" align="right"><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">(Gudsa Usendi)</span></span></span></b></p> <p style="text-align: right;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal" align="right"><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Spokesperson</span></span></span></b></p> <p style="text-align: right;" class="yiv1321379294MsoNormal" align="right"><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee</span></span></span></b></p> <b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">CPI (Maoist)</span></span></span></b>ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-60501772257468590142011-08-16T18:18:00.000-07:002011-08-16T18:22:07.447-07:00Communist Party of India (Maoist) 'OPPOSE THE ARMY DEPLOYMENT IN BASTAR!'<p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: red; font-size: 18pt;">COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST)</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: red; font-size: 16pt;">DANDAKARANYA SPECIAL ZONAL COMMITTEE</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv1226780776PTText" align="center"><u><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Press Release</span></span></u></p> <p style="text-align: right;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal" align="right"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">June 3, 2011</span></span></i></b></p> <p style="text-align: right;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal" align="right"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></i></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: red; font-size: 14pt;">OPPOSE THE ARMY DEPLOYMENT IN BASTAR!</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: red; font-size: 14pt;">TALK OF 'TRAINING' IS NOTHING BUT A PLOY TO DECEIT THE PEOPLE!</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: red; font-size: 14pt;">GIVING POWERS TO THE ARMY TO ATTACK IN THE PRETEXT OF 'SELF-DEFENSE'

But hiding this fact from the eyes of the people, the rulers are propagating falsehood that the Army was coming here just for training and not to fight the Maoists. It's being said that in the name of `self defense', the ministries of Defence and Law had issued `guiding principles' for the Army, but nobody is ready to reveal the details. It's noteworthy that the Air Force was already given the right to attack in `self-defense'.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">The Central and State governments have been hiding the fact that this was obvious deployment and have been telling the world that they were just coming here for a training as part of their ploy of deceiving the people and pacifying those democratic forces who have been outrageous against Army deployment. The glaring fact is that the Army is now deployed in the ongoing war against people of our country. After Kashmir and North-East regions, now the Indian Army is going to wage a brutal war against most oppressed people of India. Now the apprehensions seem to be realized that the draconian law - AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act) would also be proclaimed in Bastar.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">In fact the government gave free-hand to the Army and Air Force to attack the people in the name of `self-defense', as there are no measures defined for clear-cut demarcation between a Maoist combatant and an ordinary citizen. Since 2005, first in Salwa Judum and now in Operation Green Hunt, state armed forces set ablaze more than 700 villages; murdered more than 1500 people; raped hundreds of Adivasi women; burnt down the crops; looted the villages; and forced tens of thousands of people to flee from their native places. Recent carnage of Chintalnar was just an example of ongoing state terror in Dandakaranya. And now, with the Army taking part in this onslaught and with all powers granted to it in the name self-defense, the massacres of Adivasis and brutalities would increase manifold. This would pose a big question mark on the very existence of the Adivasi community. Particularly, the Jal-Jungle-Zameen and the ancient cultural heritage of the <i>Mariya </i>tribes, the indigenous residents of Maad, would be vanished.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">A heated discussion is going on across the country on the issue of land grab these days. Particularly, in the context of Uttar Pradesh incidents, all political parties belonging to the ruling classes including Congress and BJP have been portraying themselves as the `champions of peasants' and vaguely speaking against the forceful land acquisitions as part of promoting their vested political interests. But all these `champions' are keeping themselves mum on this huge land grab taking place in one of the most backward Adivasi areas of the country in the name of Army training. BJP's Raman Singh government has decided to uncaringly give away as much as 750 square kilometers of land in the Maad area of Narayanpur district for one of the three proposed training schools to be set up. Raman Singh, the man who has been trumpeting his cheap tactic of selling one kilogram of <i>chana</i> per month for 5 rupees to each adivasi family in Bastar region, is completely unmasked now. There has neither been any debate nor been any discussion about the decision of giving away such a huge portion of precious land and forest. Laws like PESA (Panchayat Extension to Scheduled Areas) and 5th Schedule have become a joke here. The local <i>Mariya</i> people of Maad region are completely unaware that the land on which they have been living for thousands of years and the forest with whose support they have been able to survive till this day, are no more of them. One fifth of the total 4,000 square kilometers area of Maad region would now be given away to the army. It would be expanded further according to the reports coming in media. As Army vehicles started moving into Bastar, the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has declared that the Raoghat mining project would be privatized and a global tender notice would be issued. This makes the picture very clear now. On one side there would be a vast Army base and on the other side of the Maad region the MNCs would fall in line in a rush to plunder the precious iron ore from Raoghat hills. The mining mafia would become active with their pending mining projects and the lands of the tribal people would be acquired forcefully. Now it's not at all difficult to realize who is coming with what intension and what the interrelation between them is!!</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">Politically, today the Maoist movement is posing a serious challenge to the pro-imperialist neo-liberal policies being implemented by the servile rulers of our country. The struggles of Adivasis and the Maoists who are leading them have become gravest threat for the ruling classes of India and their imperialist masters, who are hell-bent on looting huge deposits of precious minerals from the Adivasi regions in particular. In Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and other states, hundreds of MoUs that were signed by state governments and the corporate houses are not getting implemented due to the opposition posed by people. Particularly in Dandakaranya, several projects of big corporate houses, such as mines, big dams and heavy industries have been held up due to organized protests and resistance struggles of the people. To sum up, in Dandakaranya the exploiters' juggernaut of `development' has not been able to move forward. That's why they have been waging this brutal war against the people in which now the Army is involved.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">The <i>Bastariya</i> Adivasis have never bowed their head to exploitation, injustice, suppression and alien rule. They have a glorious history of several rebellions against the British colonialists. In 1910, at the time of <i>Mahan Bhumkaal</i>, a great tribal uprising, the British rulers had deployed the army against the people of Bastar. Now, after a hundred years, the rulers have once again sent the Army so that their just struggles could be crushed cruelly. We call upon the people of Dandakaranya to face this challenge boldly. People are the creators of history! So, the ultimate victory will only be theirs!!</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv1226780776MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Our Special Zonal Committee appeals to all democrats, human rights organizations, anti-displacement movements, Adivasis' organizations, and well-wishers of Adivasis, intellectuals, writers, Artistes and media persons to raise their voice against setting up of Army training schools in Bastar and the proposed huge land grab meant for this purpose. Come forward to build agitations with the slogan - "Indian Army, Go back from Bastar". Oppose the deployment of the Army in the ongoing war against people in the name of training schools.

style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >On 5 February this year, in a village in Uttar Pradesh, a 16- year old Dalit girl was attacked by three upper caste youth. While she was returning from the fields, they dragged her away in an attempt to rape her. When she resisted and shouted for help, they fled. But before running away they chopped off her ears and part of her hand with an axe and badly injured her face. The inhumanity of this action would be unthinkable in any civilised society. But here, in India, it is hardly noticed. This is routine. In our highly patriarchal system, a girl’s life is cheap; a poor Dalit girl is less than a chattel in the prevailing upper caste /upper class social thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >This single incident brings out three factors. First: the intolerance to any form of Dalit assertion, even if it is an assertion to resist rape. Second: the impunity with which Dalits can be attacked even in a state ruled by a Dalit leader that comes from the knowledge that the establishment will not touch the culprits. Third: it brings out the arrogance of the upper caste youth, a superiority complex instilled since birth.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Rahul Pandita’s Hello, Bastar coincides with the third death anniversary of Anuradha Ghandy. It is an occasion to remember her monumental contribution to the understanding of the caste/Dalit question in India and the significance of its resolution for the democratization of the individuals, and with it, the society. In a society where a small percentage of people consider themselves superior to all others merely due to birth, there can be no democrat consciousness. Where major sections of society are seen as inferior (and nearly 20 percent treated as untouchable) merely due to their birth, what results is a society that is hierarchical and not democratic. Even nation building and national consciousness get sacrificed at the altar of the caste. Caste consciousness supersedes national consciousness, identity, loyalty – everything.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Anuradha’s pure simplicity, her total lack of any ego or arrogance and her innate attitude to see all others as her equal drew her to the issue of caste in her early college days itself. The outbreak of the Dalit panther movement in Mumbai(1974) further helped fuel thought on this question. She began studying the caste/ Dalit question at a time when the issue was anathema to most shades of communists. And by 1980 itself she had presented extensive analytical articles on the issue. The Dalit question and Ambedkar’s role in taking it up was not in fashion amongst the left then and Anuradha’s writings resulted in hostile reactions from many of these circles. But Anuradha stood her ground. Even as a lecturer later in Nagpur, she lived in a Dalit basti and worked among them thereby getting a practical experience of their lives – the horrific humiliation they face, and their struggles for self respect much before their desperate struggle for livelihood.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Anuradha was one of the few on the 1970’s to understand the negative impact of casteism on genuine democratization of society – a disease worse than the apartheid in South Africa. Anuradha’s creativity and intellect was a product of the fact that her mind was not fettered by hundreds of ego complexes. She was modesty personified . Her child like simplicity with no element of pretence, trickery or cunning allowed her to focus fully on whatever issue she took up. Her mind was not dissipated in varied futile directions to create impressions, appearances and images. As a result, her mental sharpness and intellectual capacity continued to flower and grow even towards the last years of her life, even after she was afflicted with the deadly disease, systemic sclerosis. In the 35 years that I knew her – from a simple student leader to a mass leader – she never lost her straightforwardness and pristine honesty. I never saw her struggle to achieve this; it all came very naturally to her. One tends to see these values amongst the simple tribal folk who live with nature and have not as yet been corrupted by the system and are also outside of the caste framework.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Through all our ups and downs we were often apart for months. But the times we were together are the most cherished periods of my life. Her fiercely independent thinking acted as a great help to rational understanding of events, people and issues. There was no other person with whom I have had as vehement debates. This normally brought a balance to my often one sided views. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Back to Hello Bastar. This book by Rahul Pandita is an authentic introduction to a subject that is being much debated in the media. There have been other books on this subject, but they have primarily been based on secondary sources. But Rahul has personally investigated the issue, traversing difficult and often risky terrain. Such investigative journalism is a refreshing breeze in the stagnant air of superficiality that dominates reporting today. Having personally studied the developments in Chhattisgarh and having interacted with many revolutionaries and their sympathisers, the author has no doubt added to the reliability of the information. One may agree or disagree with the views presented, but the facts of the Maoist movement seem well elucidated. So this book becomes an important source material for anyone seeking to study the particular model of development. For even if one does not agree, it is necessary to know the efforts and viewpoints going on in the country today. This is important in order to seek effective solutions to the problems – problems that are serious.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Generally, to the ordinary reader of the mainstream media, the issue is just that of violence. This book brings out that the question of violence is secondary; the key question is how to develop the country and its people. The Maoists have one method as reflected in their policies as elaborated in this book while the established government has another, seen in their economic and political policies over the past years.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Let us now address the larger question of India’s real growth. The government’s Economic Survey 2009 – 10 has rightly commented: ‘A nation interested in inclusive growth views the same growth indifferently depending on whether the gains of the growth are heaped primarily on a small segment or shared widely by the population. The latter is cause for celebration but not the former. In other words, growth must not be treated as an end in itself, but as an instrument of spreading prosperity to all.’ Then it goes on to show how inclusive growth has taken place in the country, by showing a growth in the percapita GDP and the percapita consumption expenditure of the country. But these figures, I am afraid, do not give an accurate picture as it averages out the billionaire’s income and wealthy with that of a pauper and puts them in a common category. This is particularly skewed in India where just a few families have a wealth equivalent to 25% of our GDP. All official indicators in fact show a terrifying situation within the country that is quite contrary to the rosy picture painted by the government. In the Global Hunger Index 2010, India ranks 67<sup>th</sup> among 88 countries – it was 65 in 2009. And if we turn to the recently developed UNDP Multidimensional Poverty Index(MPI), which more accurately measures income on the basis of income, health, education etc., we find the situation even worse. India, it says, has 65 crore people who are poor on this index. It amounts to 55 % percent population. Eight states of India (Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal) account for more people than those present in the 26 poorest countries of Africa.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >According to the United Nations children’s fund(UNICEF), India ranks better only than Ethiopia in the number of malnourished children (under 5). In 2008, the percentage of malnourished children was 51percent in Ethiopia, 48 in India, 46 in Congo, 44 in Tanzania, 43 in Bangladesh, 42 in Pakistan, 41 in Nigeria and 37 in Indonesia. The right to food campaign says that two – thirds of our women are anaemic. India is also at the very bottom of the recently compiles ‘Quality of Death’ index. This new study, on the provision of end of life care, takes a look at the quality of life and care made available to the old and the dying in developed and ‘emerging’ economies of 40 countries. In a scale of ten, the US was at 6.2 while India figured last at 1.9. So pathetic is the situation that even a country like South Africa that got independence after India has an index that is double that of India’s.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >The water in our country is so badly polluted that it has turned into one of the major killers. According to the United Nations, one lakh people die each year of waterborne diseases in India. A planning commission report adds that out of over 600 districts, one third (203) have high fluoride content in drinking water that causes flourisis among 6.5 crore people. Thirty five districts have high arsenic content that results in 50 lakh people suffering from poisoning; 206 districts have high iron content and 109 districts have high nitrate content. Then, according to a study led by the Registrar General of India, 14 lakh infants die every year of five major preventable diseases. This includes eight lakh children who die within one month of their birth. The study said 23 lakh children died before completing five years of age in 2005 alone, and of these 14 lakh children died from preventable causes like pneumonia, diarrhoea etc. Even as one can clearly see that India is a ‘sick’ nation, national expenditure on healthcare is amongst the lowest in the world. State governments now barely spend 0.5 percent of their GDP on healthcare and hygiene as compared to one percent in the 1970s. Only 34 percent of India’s population has access to government hospitals.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >If one looks at the issue of food, the situation appears equally grim. Per capita food grain consumption has fallen from 177 kilos per year in 1991 to 151 kilos in 1998(it has dropped even further now). Compare this to 182 kilos recorded by the LDCs (Least developed Countries) and 196 kilos in Africa.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Such then is the horrific condition of the people of our country – that too after six decades of independence.

This is the list of people killed by state armed forces in Dandakaranya from 10 August 2009, when the Operation Green Hunt was commenced, to 31 December 2010. Amidst immense state terror prevailing in Dandakaranya, it was not so easy to collect the names and other details of all those persons killed by state forces. Here, we have recorded the names of civilian people as well as armed Maoists, killed in both fake and real encounters. There may certainly be some more killed persons whose names were not known to us or gone completely unreported.</p> <p>We request all of you to publish this list in your newspapers and websites so that the whole world could understand what kind of state voilence is going on upon the people of Dandakaranya.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;font-size:85%;" ><b>(Gudsa Usendi)</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;font-size:85%;" ><b>Spokesperson</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;font-size:85%;" ><b>Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;font-size:85%;" ><b>Communist Party of India (Maoist)</b></span></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <table border="0" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0" width="901"><colgroup> <col width="68"> <col width="38"> <col width="109"> <col width="46"> <col width="90"> <col width="129"> <col width="126"> <col width="182"> </colgroup><tbody> <tr> <td colspan="8" width="887" height="21"> <p align="center"><b>POLICE KILLINGS IN DANDAKARANYA (From 10 Aug 2009-2010) IN OPERATION GREEN HUNT</b></p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="68" height="38"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Date</b></span></p></td> <td width="38"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>No. of People Killed</b></span></p></td> <td width="109"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Name</b></span></p></td> <td width="46"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Sex/Age</b></span></p></td> <td width="90"> <p align="center"><b><span style="font-size:85%;">Native Village</span></b></p></td> <td width="129"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Site of killing</b></span></p></td> <td width="126"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Block/ District</b></span></p></td> <td width="182"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>How were they killed?</b></span></p></td></tr> <tr> <td rowspan="6" width="68"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">10-Aug-09</span></p></td> <td rowspan="6" width="38"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">6</span></p></td> <td width="109" height="3"> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Oyam Sagar</span></p></td> <td width="46"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">M/30</span></p></td> <td width="90"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">Vecham</span></p></td> <td rowspan="6" width="129"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">Between Oukyam and Vecham villages</span></p></td> <td rowspan="6" width="126"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">Bijapur</span></p></td> <td rowspan="6" width="182"> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">All were caught and shot dead.

In an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN’s Rupashree Nanda, she also says ‘democracy is on a very slippery slope in Chhattisgarh’; that it is important to remember several others who are jailed under similar charges under ‘undemocratic laws’.</em></p> <p><em>Rupashree Nanda: I remember you’d said that the judgement of the Raipur session court was intended to be a message, as a warning to others. What is the message of the Supreme Court bail order?</em></p> <p><strong>Arundhati Roy:</strong> I think that the Supreme Court granting him bail and the comments that were made in court do suggest that somewhere the Supreme Court is of the mind that it was a vindictive judgment and that he does deserve the benefit of the doubt. And so they gave him bail. What happens is that it underlines the fact that he was being made an example of; and the terror that reigns in Chhattisgarh remains so. Because, how many people have those lawyers? And have the ability to come to the Supreme Court? How many people are there poor, unnamed and named, under the very same laws for even less reasons? But they cannot come up and get bail. In some ways, it is a very necessary thing that has happened today. And in other ways it is worrying because we have so many people who don’t have access to the Supreme Court.</p> <p><em>Rupashree Nanda: The battle for acquittal is still on. What if he is convicted again and sentenced again?</em></p> <p><strong>Arundhati Roy:</strong> My answer is the same. The fact is that here was a very well known person. He had a campaign behind him, he had so many people, so many lawyers and so he was allowed to approach an institution where some kind of reason prevailed. But most people don’t have that approach. So, here you are once again in a situation where there is hope for democracy, reason for those who can afford it, who can reach there. But most people cannot. Really what we need to do is look at these laws again. And again, even if the laws were OK you have this vindictive set of people who are doing something, it does not matter what the law is. They are busy trying to intimidate a whole population of very poor people now who are living on the resources that the multinationals want.</p> <p><em>Rupashree Nanda: Was it easy for people to come out and support Dr Binayak Sen because there were many people against him?</em></p> <p><strong>Arundhati Roy:</strong> It is not a question of easy or difficult. Fortunately, in this country we do have a huge number of fearless people who believe in doing the right thing or at least believe in doing what they believe in. I am not going to complain about how difficult it was for us. Of course, I think, all those who protested knew that they were up against it. I know about Kopa Kunjam who took me round Bastar who is in jail. Who is campaigning for him? Who are his lawyers? What is going to happen to him? There are hundreds of people in jail in Orissa, in Chhattisgarh, in Bengal who do not have names suffering under the same laws. We really need to do something about them. I am saying this at a time when I don’t want to minimize how reassuring it is that the Supreme Court came out with this order that it did today. Because, had it not done that, all the windows would have been shut. Again, justice for those who can afford it, democracy for those who can afford it but what about everybody else?</p> <p><em>Rupashree Nanda: What is the message for the government? Is it listening to the courts, is it listening to the people?</em></p> <p><strong>Arundhati Roy:</strong> There is something rotten in the institutions of Chhattisgarh. All the institutions there are behind that rot and behind what is now NOT being called Operation Green Hunt, but IS Operation Green hunt. We have a situation where the army is likely to be deployed, we have requests for the AFSPA [Armed Forces Special Powers Act]. We know what that has done in other states in India. Really democracy is on a very slippery slope there in Chhattisgarh. Now, some little pin holes of light have come out in this judgment. – but the point is that we are in a situation where we are creating a state where we call ourselves a democracy but increasingly there are laws that are undemocratic. In fact, under the UAPA [Unlawful Activities Prevention Act], the Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act – you don’t have to prove anything to put people in jail. Just thinking an anti – government thought is a criminal offense. So look at those laws. It is not that they are being misinterpreted. They are being used precisely for the purpose they were made. So the fact is again and again I am saying we have a majority of our population that does not have access to the institution of justice.</p> <p><em>Rupashree Nanda: What does Binayak Sen represent?</em></p> <p><strong>Arundhati Roy:</strong> Different things to different people. To me he symbolizes somebody who stood up and blew the whistle on the Salwa Judum. And that is why there was this vindictive action against him as a warning. And even though he has been let out on bail, let’s not forget that he has suffered. He’s been in jail. His hospital has been closed down. He cannot work in that area. He has been driven out of the state. So, in many ways, what they wanted, they have achieved already. To others he symbolizes righteousness. It can cut both ways. You can also now use Binayak Sen to say, look, India is a democracy – he was released. You can use him to say – look he is a middle-class person who had a campaign behind him. He was released, but there are many others. So it is different things to different people depending on how you look at it.</p> <p><em>Rupashree Nanda: No one talks about Piyush Guha today?</em></p> <p><strong>Arundhati Roy:</strong> You talk about one person and then you keep everybody else in the dark. It’s like during Thanksgiving the American president pardons one turkey and then they slaughter millions. Behind the place where you choose to shine the light you have so much darkness. Piyush Guha has a name. Kopa Kunjam has a name, but there are hundreds of others who don’t have names, who are in prison. I remember going to Orissa meeting one adivasi woman shaking like a leaf in jail. What are the charges? Sedition. Waging war against the state. Trying to erect a parallel government. So we are living in an era where these people are ferociously attacked. So we have to look at the whole picture not just where people wish us to look because they have shone the light there.</p>ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-52138704498851624512011-04-23T05:10:00.000-07:002011-04-23T05:13:16.219-07:00Communist Party of India (Maoist) Central Committee Statement, 13th April 2011: Intensify Mass Struggles To Put An End To Institutionalized Corruption<p><b><span style="font-size:6;color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:6;color:#ff0000;"> <p align="center">COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST)</p></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"> </span></span></b></p><p align="center"><b><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">CENTRAL COMMITTEE</span></span></b></p><u><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></u><p align="center"><u><span style="font-family:Arial;">Press Release</span></u></p><b><i><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"> </span></span></i></b><p align="right"><b><i><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">13 April, 2011</span></span></i></b></p> <b><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"> <p align="center">Intensify Mass Struggles To Put An End To Institutionalized Corruption!</p></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"> </span></span></b><p><b><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"> </span></span></b></p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"> <p>In recent times, corruption has once again come to the forefront as a main issue with the exposure of massive scams like 2G spectrum, Commonwealth games, Adarsh housing society, Karnataka land scams, S-Band spectrum scam. Workers, peasants, adivasis, dalits, women, and urban middle class - all classes and sections of the society are expressing their deep discontent and anguish. Recently we saw great support to the hunger strike of Anna Hazare, which is the direct consequence of the widespread discontent in the people against corruption, corrupt political parties and their leaders. Though the demand for hunger strike is Jan Lokpal Bill, the aspiration of the people is to completely wipe out corruption.</p> <p>It would be innocence, if anyone feels that by setting up a committee to frame Lokpal bill and by selecting half of the committee members from civil society would itself finds a solution. In fact, lack of rules and laws is not the cause for endless and deep-ridden corruption. Way back from jeep scam, Lockheed's airplane deal to late Rajiv Gandhi's Bofors deals, our country has seen many a scams starting from a few million rupees to trillions of rupees. Not only main parliamentary parties like Congress and BJP, leaders and ministers of all other national and regional parliamentary parties like RJD, BSP, SP, DMK, AIADMK, TDP and hand in glove bureaucrats have a long history of corrupt practices. By proper implementation of the existing laws in the country and by the proper functioning of anti-corruption wings, scams like these can be prevented to a grate extent and those responsible for these can be severely punished. In the last 64 years history of 'independent' India, we don't find a single incidence, where corrupt politicians, ministers, heads of corporate houses and bureaucrats have been punished. Due to pressure from people or opposition parties, even if arrested in some rare cases, by prolonging investigation and diluting of the charges, they get scot-free without any stringent punishment or with nominal punishment. This is because; the judiciary of this country is also an inseparable part of this exploitative state machinery. None can be under the illusion to end corruption through these laws and court rooms.</p> <p>We have to first realize that corruption is not an issue confined to a handful of bad or greedy individuals. The root cause of all these corruptions and scams lies in the capitalist system whose sole motto is cut-throat profiteering. In spite of preaching liberty, freedom and democratic values, in pracitce it's based on intense labor exploitation, bribery, commissions, kickbacks etc. Hence ending of corruptions and scams is an issue which is linked with the revolutionary transformation of present system. It would be illusionary to expect a complete solution to this by bringing in few fine laws while keeping this semi-feudal and semi-colonial system in our country intact.</p> <p>In fact, the scams that have not surfaced are many times more compared to the ones that have surfaced. For example late chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Rajasekhar Reddy, present chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh, Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik, chief ministers of Jharkhand Madhu Koda, Shibu Soren and Arjun Mundas, Karnataka chief minister Yediyurappa and likes, by signing agreements with mining mafia and big companies have amassed huge commissions amounting to tens of billions of rupees is being exposed even in the media. LPG policies being pursued by the governments have opened the floodgates for rampant corruption, huge scams and massive plunder of natural wealth of our country. Hence, without unequivocally opposing imperialist-dictated anti-people government policies and without focusing mass struggles against these, just speaking and hoping to wipe out corruption is to mislead people.</p> <p>Anna Hazare ended his fast with the government's decision to form a committee to frame Lokpal bill. But justice is not meted out to the people who are aspiring to put an end to corruption. In fact, government accepted this demand not in fear of Anna Hazare's fast, but to pacify people's anguish that came forth in support to his fast. It is noteworthy that ruling classes accepted to this demand only because any numbers of laws like these in no way affect the present system.</p> <p>The Central Committee of the CPI (Maoist) welcomes countrywide response of the people against corruption. Our Party believes that only through the united, well-organized and militant mass struggles, corruption can be put to an end. Our Party calls upon the people of our country not to get satisfied by the namesake laws and forming new committees to frame such laws by the government and not to end these struggles, but to continue with firm conviction. We call upon workers, peasants, students, intellectuals, employees, pro-people Gandhians and all other patriotic forces to come forward and to form a broad alliance to fight against corruption which has affected our country. Our Party appeals to raise voice against all these thieves and dacoits who are involved in endless corruption, scams and plunder and who have stashed trillions of rupees of black money in Swiss banks, have no right to be in power even for a moment.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p></span></span><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <p align="right"> </p></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"> </span></span></b><p align="right"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">(Abhay)</span></span></b></p> <p align="right"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Spokesperson,</span></span></b></p> <p align="right"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Central Committee,</span></span></b></p> <p align="right"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">CPI (Maoist)</span></span></b></p>ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-7598263417569039062011-04-15T05:11:00.000-07:002011-04-15T05:12:54.961-07:00Communist Party of India (Maoist) - Statement on Libya<p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: 22pt;" lang="EN-US">COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST)</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: 16pt;" lang="EN-US">CENTRAL COMMITTEE</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv491843569PTText" align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><u><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">Press Release</span></u><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: right;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal" align="right"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">March 31, 2011</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; color: red; font-size: 15pt;" lang="EN-US">Condemn the war of occupation on Libya by US-France-Britain!</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US">Express solidarity to the people of countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Algeria, Morocco and Jordan<br />who are fighting for democracy and independence!</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal" align="center"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US">Oppose the intervention of imperialists, particularly of US, Britain and France in the internal matters of Arab countries!</span></b></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">For the past few weeks, the people's upsurges in Arab world are shaking the imperialists, particularly US imperialists while at the same time greatly influencing the people of the world. Starting from Tunisia this spread to many Arab countries. Ben Ali, the President of Tunisia who has been suppressing the people of Tunisia since 23 years and Hosni Mubarak, who was ruling Egypt since 30 years had to step down and run away dreading these mass upsurges. The mass movements in countries like Yemen, Bahrain, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan etc are ongoing in the same vein. The Arab population is demanding with one voice that their rulers who have been carrying on dictatorial rules since decades colluding with the imperialists should step down. Lakhs of Arab people, particularly the youth are defying ban orders and are pouring into the streets. Streets and squares have become seas of masses for weeks together. Hundreds have laid down their lives and thousands were injured in the crackdown by the governments. But now with the war on Libya by NATO countries led by US, the entire Arab world phenomena took a crucial turn. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">In the name of stopping Libya from using its armed forces to suppress the rebels opposing Qaddafi's rule, the Security Council made the 'No fly zone' resolution. The NATO countries led by US voted in favor of the resolution while Russia, China, Germany, Brazil and India abstained from voting. Nor did the ones with Veto power use it to stop this resolution. Obviously these countries had indirectly condoned the military action by not opposing the resolution. The Manmohan Singh government is deceiving the people of India and the world by shedding crocodile tears in the aftermath of the attacks without even caring to condemn the attacks formally. US which had never condemned the arbitrary killings of Palestinians carried out by the Zionist Israel umpteen number of times by confining dozens of UN resolutions to the dustbin and which had used its Veto power for Israel most indiscriminately and other western powers have immediately started bombing Libya as soon as the UN resolution was made. On the very first day of this attack which is said to be part of an international campaign, 18 bomber jets belonging to France had rained at least 40 bombs on several targets. The US and Britain navies have targeted the security systems in Libya and have launched missiles. 18 Air Force B-2 war planes of US launched more than a hundred missiles on Libya and bombed several targets. In this war launched in the name of preventing massacres that could be perpetuated by Qaddafi forces, hundreds of civilians have lost their lives. Nothing could be more callous than asking the world people to believe that the value of the lives (deaths) of the Libyans change according to which bombs took their lives! The very media houses which have been relaying badly twisted news items supporting this NATO war on Libya hiding the facts on the ground had to admit that in the first attacks many children had died. They have once again nakedly displayed their class nature in the reportage of this one-sided war.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">The UN which calls itself a neutral organization has once again proved itself to be a puppet in the hands of imperialist countries like US, Britain, France etc. Secretary General Ban-Ki-Moon is behaving like their poodle. In the inhuman attacks on Gaza launched by Israel in December 2008, nearly 1,417 Palestinians (most of them women and children) lost their lives and many thousands of them were injured; Israel illegally used white phosphorus on the Gaza people and many of them became cancer patients due to this; it used F-16 bombers and resorted to 'targeted killings' and virtually made 15 lakhs of Gaza people live in conditions of an open jail without even drinking water or electricity – but all these were not enough for the UN to make a no-fly-zone resolution. The neo-Nazi Rajpakse government launched a genocidal war on Tamils to decimate LTTE and rained tonnes of bombs on residential areas and civilian targets and had killed 20,000 Tamils just in the last two days of the war; the atrocities committed by the Sinhala chauvinist army on the captured women tigers not sparing even their dead bodies have horrified the world – but the UN did nothing. In the past quarter of a century the Indian government through its army had crushed to death more than 80,000 Kashmiris under its iron heel – but the UN could not be woken from its slumber. And now the UN wants the world people to believe that this war on Libya is indeed being fought to protect the Libyans from Qaddafi forces. Shame on it! There is not even one instance where it had acted for the interests of the oppressed nations or the people while we can quote dozens of instances where it had jumped to save the US, Israel or other western countries' interests even if there is so much of a scratch. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">The war on Libya defies the very spirit of the no-fly-zone resolution of the UN too. In the name of implementing the UN resolution made to prevent Libyan planes from bombing the rebels US, Britain and France are indiscriminately bombing Libya. This is nothing but a war of occupation. The real motive is to oust Qaddafi and replace him with their favorable ruling clique and loot the oil resources there. Nobody is so innocent as to believe that Obama is bombing Libya to protect Libyan rebels while he had sent Saudi Arabian troops into Bahrain through the back door to suppress the people's rebellion there. This blood-thirsty 'Nobel Peace Prize Laureate' who is killing hundreds of innocents in drone attacks in Afghanistan and western Pakistan has no moral right to utter even the words 'lives of innocents'. The western countries which never bothered about the lives of people when the armed forces of the dictators of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan etc, whom they had been supporting all these years, fired upon people killing them in scores are now bent upon dethroning Qaddafi – mind you, not for any selfish interests but 'to save the Libyans'. Unadulterated imperialist hypocrisy! </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">Ben Ali of Tunisia, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen, Isa Al Khalipha of Bahrain and King Abdullah of Jordan are the dictatorial rulers who have been suppressing the people of their countries since decades colluding with the western imperialists, particularly the US imperialists. The façade of democracy and elections in these countries can be gauged from the fantastic statistics that Ben Ali always got 97 to 99 percent of the votes?! There was no semblance of any democratic or civil rights. The police and intelligence departments were developed to monstrous proportions and they had been controlling the lives of people suppressing even an iota of dissent. Unemployment is on the rampage. Yemen alone has 40% unemployment. On the other hand the rulers are amassing immense wealth due to the rich oil resources there. Countless billions of dollars are stashed away in foreign banks. The world was astonished to find that Ben Ali had actually carried one and half tonne of gold physically with him while running away. Tip of an 'oilberg'? The ill-effects of the worldwide financial crises on the Arab people since 2008 are as severe as in any other part of the world. More than half the population there is living on less than two dollars a day. These dictators are spending people's money indiscriminately in the 'War on terror' launched by US in the name of suppressing Al Qaeda. Yemen started a counter-terrorist training programme with 750 millions of dollars. Such misuse of people's exchequer while cutting subsidies on essential services etc earned the wrath of the people. All these years the imperialists have stood in support of all the exploitation, oppression and repressive measures of these dictatorships on the people of their countries and have been cashing in on the several contradictions between various religions, tribes, nationalities and between sects like Shias and Sunnis. Now seeing the scale of the upsurges the imperialists have decided to trade new horses getting rid of the old ones. They made Ben Ali and Mubarak step down and had the power transferred to the military generals. In other countries the western powers are still supporting the dictators. The 22 nation Arab League is behaving like a stooge of the western powers in this entire episode and is neither displaying any shades of Arab nationalism nor giving voice to the anti-imperialist aspirations of the Arab people.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Only those rulers who fulfill the democratic aspirations of the people and unite them and oppose imperialism unequivocally can defend and preserve the independence and sovereignty of their countries.

They should firmly oppose the attempts of imperialists, particularly US, Britain and France to hijack their movements. They should stay alert towards the military councils which came to power in place of the dictators. We are cautioning the whole Arab population not to get deceived by believing that the military generals who had all along supported the dictators would now guarantee democracy. All the anti-imperialist, democratic, patriotic sections including workers, peasants and middle classes should unite. The only path before the Arab population is to fight uncompromisingly with imperialism under the leadership of the proletariat. The recent phenomena in the Arab world has once again proven clearly that guidance of Marxist ideology and leadership of the vanguard of the proletariat, i.e. of a revolutionary communist party are inevitable for the true liberation of the oppressed masses. The namesake independences won by these countries from colonialism has given way to neo-colonial exploitation resulting in unbearable living conditions and the Arab people are direct victims of this since the past 40-50 years. If the Arab people have to win real independence then they have to stand on their own legs, destroy neo-colonialism and fight imperialism firmly. They should fight a united war against US, Britain and France imperialists who are waging an unjust war on Libya. CPI (Maoist) is hopeful that the struggles against the comprador bureaucratic rulers supported by the imperialists would definitely grow into determined resistance struggles against imperialists, against their intervention and against the unjust wars imposed by them. Only then could the Arab world be liberated from the clutches of dictators and imperialists.</span></span></p> <h3><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Call of the CPI (Maoist) to the people of India and the world </span></span></h3> <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 19.85pt;" class="yiv491843569MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;">The upsurges of the Arab people for freedom and democracy are entirely just struggles.

Also 3 SPOs were killed and 9 others were<br />injured. The police had celebrated this incident in the media to prove their dominance over the<br />Maoists in this region. Media persons and fact finding teams were restricted from going inside on<br />the pretext that it is ‘war zone’ and the so-called war between the state and the Maoists are still going<br />on, hence it is risky for any outsider to go inside. Most recently, the state home minister, Nankiran<br />Kumar gave a written statement in the assembly stating that the Maoists had led the attack on<br />villagers and burnt and looted homes in a bid to divert attention of the police who were in the area for<br />‘area domination exercises’.<br />Against this backdrop of serious crimes committed by the security forces and salwa judum and the<br />cover up by the police and politicians, a fact finding team comprising various civil and democratic<br />rights activists and other individuals, went inside this area on the 26th and 27th of March 2011 and<br />visited Morupally, Timmapuram and Tadmetla villages. As members of the team, we spoke extensively<br />to the villagers and the victims of the incident. We were shocked to find that once again, the police<br />version propagated by the state is completely hoax and far from reality.<br />What exactly happened?<br />Morupally village<br />According to the residents, on the morning of 11 March 2011, a huge contingent of 300 paramilitary<br />and Salwa Judum forces attacked Morupally Village in the Chintalnar area after they got a prior<br />information that a big meeting of adivasis will be held there. While people started running towards<br />the forest for cover, the Judum forces, dressed in military fatigues, entered the village and started<br />attacking the elderly and women.<br />1. Death: Madvi Sula, an elderly villager was picking tamarind from the tree when the Judum<br />forces accosted him, accused him of being a Maoist informer and shot him dead in front of his wife<br />and hanged from a tree.<br />Woman raped by Salwa Judum (Koya commandos) 80 years old Madivi Bheema beaten by Salwa Judum<br />2<br />2. Rape: Mangi Ganga was raped after her valuables and other belongings were looted from her<br />house. Emula Modey, a 35 year old woman, was raped after she was threatened for not disclosing<br />the location of the Andhra Maoist Dalam. The Judum members also took away 10,000 rupees<br />from her.<br />3. Assault and Arrest: Madivi Bheem, an 80 year old woman, was brutally assaulted. Her belongings<br />were also looted. While leaving the village, Judum members picked up Madvi Joga, his daughter,<br />Likke and his son Madvi Bheema and took them to Chintalnal PS. There, Likke was separated<br />from her brother and father, stripped and kept the whole night. The following morning when she<br />was handed over to her father, her clothes were not returned.<br />4. Burning of homes: 33 houses were burnt, looted and destroyed.<br />5. Identification of Accused: Villagers identified 9 members/leaders of Salwa Judum. They are:<br />Madakam Bheema, alias Ramesh from Junaguda; Telam Anda from Lakapole; Vanjam Deva<br />from Cherpan; Dasaru from Vilampalli; Ramulal from Bodikel; Maara from Morupally; Keche<br />Nanda from Korapad; Kartam Dula, alias Surya (Judum leader) from Misman; Payake, woman<br />Judum member from Timmapuram.<br />Timmapuram Village<br />Encounter between Salwa Judum and Maoist forcesTwo days later, on 13th March, the forces<br />advanced towards Timmapuram after ravaging Morapally village.<br />On the way, the next day Maoists came and tried to stop them. In the armed clash, that lasted for two<br />hours, one villager Bhima alias Sudarshan was killed while two other got injured. 3 SPOs were killed<br />while 9 others got injuries, of which one died later.<br />Killing of Bursey Bhima and burning of homes: The CRPF and Salwa Judum SPOs were<br />forced to retreat after the prolonged encounter. They came to Timmapuram village and took shelter<br />there. They made bunkers inside the village to quell probable Maoist attack. Before leaving the<br />village they set fire on 55 houses. Bursey Bhima was picked up by these forces from Pulampad<br />village on their way to Timmapuram. After setting the villages on fire, they hacked Bursey Bhima to<br />death with an axe. This is probably due to the fact that Bhima was an eye-witness of their entire<br />carnage.<br />Identification of Accused: People of Timmapuram have identified several Salwa Judum members<br />who led this carnage. They saw, Mantam Bhima alias Ramesh (from Jannaguda Village), Telem<br />Anda (of Lekapor Village), Wanjan Peva ( of Charpan Village), Dasaru (from Villampally Village),<br />Mara (of Monipally Village), Ramlal (of Bodikal Village), Keche Nanda (of Korapad), Kartam Dula<br />alias Surya (of Misman Village), an SPO and one woman SPO Payake from Timmapuram itself.<br />Houses Burnt in Timmapuram Village Villagers living in fear and withuot Shelter<br />3<br />Tadmetla Village<br />From Timmapuram on their way back, they entered Tadmetla village and it became their next<br />target. In Tadmetla, they burnt a total of 207 houses. These houses were simply gutted to ashes.<br />They raped Marvi Jogi and beat her till she lost consciousness. When she came back to senses, she<br />found her cash and jewellery worth Rs. 12,000 missing. Around 20-25 other people in Tadmetla were<br />beaten up including children as young as 12 years old. Marvi Anda and Marvi Ayita of this village<br />were picked up by police and are still missing. They have not been produced even in police station.<br />We spoke to the affected villagers like the rape victim from Tarmetla village Marvi Joga. No case<br />has still been registered against anyone and not even a medical test has been done. Two people from<br />Tarmetla Muchaki Anda and Muchaki Ayita have gone missing and villagers claimed they have<br />been taken by the forces but are yet to be produced.<br />A rape victim of the Village and burnt housee<br />This one-sided ruthless attack by the state forces and Salwa Judum on innocent unarmed adivasis<br />were propagated in the media by the police as ‘ongoing encounter with the Maoists’. The rampage of<br />the salwa judum and state forces continued for almost five days. Two people were murdered cruelly,<br />while 3 women were raped. Almost three hundred homes were set on fire and completely gutted<br />down. They looted everything the adivasi people had including domestic animals like goats, cows,<br />chicken and pigs along with their money, jewelleries and other belongings. More than fifty people<br />have been grievously injured that includes children as young as 12 years old and women. This clearly<br />shows that the Salwa Judum is active and functioning like always. The state’s branding of them as<br />‘Koya Commandos’ is bogus. Despite the Supreme Court directive to disband Salwa Judum it is fully<br />functional and actively promoted and sponsored by the state.<br />These rampages were done with full consent and active support of the state. In the middle of these<br />unilateral atrocities, the state air-dropped rations and other food supply to the forces while taking<br />away the dead and the injured. On 24th March, the SDM had visited these villages with some relief<br />material. But even after he directly spoke to the villagers and saw the evidences of the atrocities, no<br />case has been registered against anybody. Even now instead of taking action against the perpetrators<br />of these atrocities, the state is still stopping civil rights activists and individuals to visit the area.<br />People in Morupally and Timmapuram are living in utter dire condition. People in these two villages<br />have received no relief from the state. They said that they have got some interim relief from the<br />Maoists. Many of them are staying under trees. After the fact finding team left, one local newspaper<br />reported of six starvation deaths in Morupally village which needs to be confirmed. We have been<br />inside these areas for two days, only to see that there was no ‘encounter’ with the Maoists as claimed<br />by the police, which is nothing but a myth propagated by the state to justify these atrocities.<br />4<br />The attack by the state forces and the Salwa Judum was heinous and the attack on the innocent<br />adivasis has been done persistently by the state and its mercenaries in the name of ‘Operation Green<br />Hunt’. These villages were particularly targeted as they have done alternative development works<br />like digging ponds, distributing lands among the landless, making irrigation facilities which the<br />state has failed to provide in all these decades. As we saw these areas are still the most underdeveloped<br />regions of the country and all that the state has done is to violate the rights of autonomy of the<br />adivasis, denied them of their basic means of livelihood and life and now they are perpetrating such<br />monstrous atrocities by Salwa Judum and paramilitary forces.<br />We condemn these outrageous acts of state violence and demand:<br />• Registering the cases of rape, murder, atrocities and kidnap against the CRPF and Salwa<br />Judum<br />• Exemplary punishment for the perpetrators of the crime.<br />• Immediate providing of medical facilities to the injured and medical tests of the rape victims<br />• Compensation of the people according to their specific losses<br />• Allowing more civil rights organisation and media persons to go inside the area.<br />• As per direction of the Supreme Court the salwa judum must be disbanded immediately and<br />functioning of the Salwa Judum in the name of ‘Koya Commandos’ must be stopped.<br />• Operation Green Hunt must be stopped immediately<br />Members of the fact finding team:<br />Andhra Pradesh Civil Liberties Committee (APCLC)<br />C.H.

It serves the regrouping of the international communist movement around the largest and most active people's war, while those in Peru, Philippines etc. go on.<br />From the point of view of Maoism and people’s wars, the people’s war in India is at the heart of the current clash between revolution and counter-revolution.<br />That is why the attention of imperialism has increased, as well as the attention of its media.<br />The coming months we will reach an International Conference of support, that will gather many genuine revolutionary, internationalist and anti-imperialist forces in the world.<br />India can be the weak link of imperialism, right when it is trying to prevent the advancement of the revolution. The revolution in India helps to show the relevance of Maoism and communism.<br />That is why this campaign is very important.<br />We are like drops in the sea. This is the meaning of our work in Italy.<br />But the sea is made of many drops. Each advance of the revolutions in other countries is a drop in that sea, that turns into a sea of armed masses that can really change the face of the world.<br /><br />The campaign in Italy<br /><br />The 20th of March 20 a daily information activity has started, along with a widespread circulation of the call and posters.<br />We are preparing a slide-show and videos.<br />There will be not a major central initiative, but several initiatives to reach a significant number of people, workers, unemployed, temporary workers, students, women and immigrants.<br /><br />The initiatives nationally announced will be:<br />- Meeting of workers and immigrants in Marghera, Venice on 2nd of April<br />- Demonstration at the University of Milan on 6th if April<br />- Demonstration of at the Academy of Arts, University of Palermo, on 7th of April, with students meeting and video<br />- Spread of leaflets and signature collecting of a support resolution amongst the workers of Ilva, Taranto, South Italy; Dalmine, Bergamo, North Italy; Fiat and Cantieri Navali, Palermo, Sicily<br />- Action at the Indian Consulate in Milan on 8th of April<br />- Meeting of support in Taranto on 5th of April<br />- Meeting of support in Palermo on 8th of April<br />- Meeting of support in Turin on 9th of April<br /><br />30 March 2011<br />International Committee in Support of People’s War in India – Italyajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-9513740532189117512011-04-04T06:19:00.000-07:002011-04-04T06:20:46.677-07:00Maoist Communist Party of Italy second document : Marxist-Leninist-Maoist communists support the revolts of Arab massesMarxist-Leninist-Maoist communists<br />support the revolts of Arab masses<br /><br />In the revolt of the Arab masses, is especially seen the role as the protagonist of youth masses. The horizon of the ongoing uprisings is the overthrow of the regime in power, democratic freedoms, the improvement of living conditions. Workers are involved and share the objectives of these uprisings, they support them with strikes for their own demands, but they still neither express an autonomous overall position nor play a leading role. This means that the uprising are currently led by two lines: one of the bourgeois-democratic forces, often pro-Western, one of opposition Islamist forces.<br />The partial victories they won with the fall of the regimes in Egypt and Tunisia and the weakening of other regimes in the Arab world, the Middle East and Persian Gulf, have been achieved thanks to the strength and the magnitude of the peoples movement and, on the other hand, thanks to the rift it has caused within the army and parts of regimes themselves. Yet, we see a change in the form of the ruling regimes, not of substance, or, in some cases, a temporary setback to prepare a restorer counter-offensive. The conservation and restoration of such regimes is the aim of Islamic fundamentalism as well as the intervention of imperialism of U.S., Europe and, within this, of Italy, which want to contibute, with the political action and the military intervention, to drive the transition in the furrow of imperialist interests in the region.<br />In this situation, the current uprisings will be not able to achieve their goals until they get rid of such hegemony and any illusion on those forces, internal to regimes, which passed on their side, i.e. the forces of Islamic fundamentalism, the forces that just want more Western-style democracy, and the U.S., French, Italian imperialists etc.<br />This is the real task of the communists and the labour movement, in order to transform the current democratic uprisings into New Democratic Revolutions in all the Arab world, North Africa and Persian Gulf. The new democratic revolutions in led by the communists and proletariat are the real alternative, the real enemy of all reactionary and imperialist forces. The uprisings brought a favourable condition for this development, starting from the workers struggles, that are growing in strength, finding a even more favourable ground.<br />There are similarities and differences between the regimes in the different countries, concerning the development of the rebellion and the participation of workers, as well as the way regimes are responding. These are issues that the Communists and progressive forces have to take into account, in their strategy, but also in their tactics. In particular, we have to look at the situation in Egypt and Libyan.<br />In Egypt we see a still solid regime, despite the important downfall of Mubarak. The power is in the hands of the army, that grants a continuity of rulers interests, security of imperialistic interests, the alliance with Israel, etc.. The democracy and social fairness promised by the military hierarchies in power will be never realized. On the contrary, the new rulers are preparing to prevent the revolt from resuming and developing. An underground war already goes on for this purpose, first against the forces of rebel youth and workers struggles. The new prop of the regime, "the party of conciliators", is basically represented by Islamic fundamentalists, who have played a minor role in the uprising, but now, in the new space that the regime gives them, aims to play a stabilizing role. These forces are not and cannot be part of a united front aimed to realize the democratic and social demands put forward by the uprising.<br />In Libya, the regime relies on a full militarization of ideological and charismatic type. From being a positive factor, in the early colonial phase, long time ago it turned into a fascist dictatorship, subjected to and integrant part of the imperialist domination. Libya is a particular country: richest, with a centralized economy and massive use of immigrant labour. It is quite clear, therefore, that in this country, and the characteristics of the uprising, and the degree of participation of workers, and the solidity and the reaction of the regime, have taken different shapes and developments. Gaddafi responded to the uprising by turning it into a civil war. The Libyan masses should unite to defeat and topple the regime, but part of them relied on imperialists. First by interfering, then with the military intervention, imperialists play a direct role in resolving the ongoing civil war. Needed, now more than ever, a anti-imperialist patriotic united front.<br /><br />Proletari comunisti supports the uprisings of people and youth and supports the struggling efforts of the working class, the reorganization in autonomous forms, trade union and political. We support the communists who in these countries, in the fire of class struggle and close link with the masses, will carry forward the New Democratic anti-imperialist revolution, by fighting imperialism, social-chauvinism and opportunism, false communist and false anti-imperialist positions in our country. Our task now is to give voice and information of the uprising, the youth, the workers, the communists and progressive people, and in particular of those are engaged for a new democratic revolution. We must oppose any "humanitarian", military intervention of Italian, European, U.S. imperialism, because, anyway it looks like, it serves oil multinationals, the merchants of war, the geo-strategic control of the region and aims to suppress the rebellion and keep in power regimes against people.ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-64772855988145319602011-04-04T06:17:00.000-07:002011-04-04T06:18:21.949-07:00Maoist Communist Party of Italy on Libya - First Document<span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span style="" title="">No to war against Libya!<br /></span><span style="" title="">proletarian internationalist national mobilization<br /><br /></span><span style="" title="">Communist Workers - Pcm Italy denounces the imperialist intervention by the UN decision authorizing the bombing of Libya by the U.S., France, Great Britain, with a role in the forefront of Italy, with the provision of military bases, air and </span><span title="">soldiers.<br /></span><span title="">The reactionary regime, Gaddafi's neocolonial can only be overthrown by the masses with the Libyan revolt, not imperialism which has so far claimed the first of Italian imperialism.<br /></span><span title="">Those parts of the revolt against Gaddafi who have asked and now welcome the imperialist armed intervention, are at the service of imperialist interests in Libya is a tragic illusion that imperialism can bring freedom and democracy. </span><span style="" title="">Imperialism is always exploitation, robbery and oppression, and when reactionary supports dictators, and when he speaks of "democracy."<br /></span><span style="" title="">The masses need a Libyan national united front for the anti-imperialist and anti Gaddafi autoderminazione national and social, for a Republic of New Democracy in the hands of the masses.<br /></span><span style="" title="">The Italian imperialism wants to ensure his involvement with the interests of the Italian masters, the multinational energy, the merchants of war, so far backed by Gaddafi and now want to defend with the direct intervention, whatever the outcome of the civil war </span><span style="" title="">in progress.<br /></span><span style="" title="">Once again, the Italian government and parliament under the auspices of Napolitano in the climate of the 'Patriotic National Unity "in breach of Article 11 of the Constitution and participate in a reactionary and neo-colonial war.<br /></span><span title="">The costs of this military intervention will once again be downloaded over the workers and the masses Italian. </span><span title="">The South, and in particular the Puglia, Taranto and Gioia del Colle, and Sicily is used as a base and a war zone.<br /></span><span style="" title="">Workers Communist appeals to the workers, the masses, young people and the entire antiwar movement to the streets to say NO to imperialist intervention in Libya, to overthrow the government and every government of the belligerent parties supporting the intervention </span><span style="" title="">imperialist military, to reaffirm support for the Arab masses in revolt from the Persian Gulf to Libya, against reactionary regimes, dictatorial and unpopular - in Libya, represented by Gaddafi.</span></span>ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-55148383182028168362011-04-01T04:14:00.000-07:002011-04-01T04:15:32.182-07:00Full Statement issued by CCOMPOSA conference (Co-ordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organisations of South Asia)<p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;" align="left"><b><u><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Political resolution adopted by the 5<sup>th</sup> Conference of CCOMPOSA, March 2011</span></u></b></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><u><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> </span></span></u></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><u><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-GB">On the Current Situation and Tasks</span></u></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Since the 4<sup>th</sup> Conference of the Co-ordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organisations of South Asia (CCOMPOSA) held in 2006, there have been significant developments in the world and in South Asia. These changes have given rise to both challenges and opportunities. Guided by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the unity among the constituents of CCOMPOSA and their joint activities will surely strengthen the revolutionary struggles and initiatives going on in the different countries of South Asia and be a catalyst in facing up to these challenges and seizing the opportunities. This has a significance going far beyond the boundaries of South Asia. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="" lang="EN-GB">International Situation</span></b></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Bourgeois ideologues had seen the collapse of Soviet social imperialism in the 1990s as a "landmark victory" of capitalism over socialism.<span> </span>But this has now been dealt a body blow through the recent global crisis. Furthermore, the claim that Marxism and socialism have failed and capitalism has triumphed is doubly exposed as hollow rhetoric by the fact that the crisis of the imperialist economy has originated from such a country, the US, which claims itself as the leader of the imperialist world order. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Following the collapse of Soviet social imperialism US imperialism had arrogantly declared its sole hegemony in a world without any rival superpower. Policies like structural adjustments, privatisation and liberalisation were imposed on oppressed countries without any let up. In the imperialist countries themselves employment was downsized and casualised on a greater scale. All of this was aimed at sustaining the imperialist economy and maximising profits by further opening the way for finance capital penetration. <span> </span>But the result has been just the opposite. The US, which spread the tentacles of its financial institutions more intensively and extensively, compared to other imperialist powers, has been the worst sufferer in the present economic crisis. The specific causes underlying this crisis and its particular dynamics need to be further probed. But right now we must draw attention to the horrible devastation it has caused among the masses in both oppressed countries and imperialist countries. This is on top of the sharp widening of the gap between the rich and poor within countries and intensification of unevenness among regions of the world caused by imperialist globalisation. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">By pumping in trillions of dollars through deficit financing to save financial institutions the imperialists managed to stave off an all-round collapse of the global economy. Yet the crisis is far from over. The measures adopted to tackle the crisis piled up huge public debts. There is a lot of loud talk, but little action, in the matter of regulating the frenzied speculative deals of financial institutions. Meanwhile, all the burdens of deficits and deficit cutting are being loaded on the backs of the masses through soaring inflation and cut downs in public employment and welfare. This has generated wave after wave of struggles in imperialist countries. Thus the aftershocks of the global crisis still rumble on. <span> </span>Imperialist solutions sow the seeds for more severe crisis.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">The current crisis has been a great educator. Most importantly, all talk of the greatness of free market disappeared as imperialist governments scrambled to save their economies by any means. All the champions of liberalisation sneakily turned to protectionism. In order to overcome the<span> </span>economic crisis, some of the imperialist governments were even forced to implement the 'socialist' measure of nationalisation. Bourgeois pundits had to talk about the need to retain this as one means to safeguard against future crisis. The crisis and the responses of the bourgeoisie thus further justify the validity and inevitability of Marxism and socialism ever more powerfully.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">As a consequence of this crisis, not only has the contradiction between capital and labour sharpened more but the contradiction of imperialism versus the oppressed nations and people, which is the principal contradiction of the present world, has further intensified. The emergence of China as an economic force in the international arena, economic consolidation of Russia and more importantly the formation of a pole centred on both of these countries, brings out the multipolar nature of the world. The dream of the US imperialism to lead a unipolar world has turned out to be a mere pipedream. Rather, what is seen is a sharpening of inter-imperialist contradictions. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">The economic crisis and consequently the intensification of the basic contradictions of the world, including the principal one, are sure to lead this world towards a political crisis in the days ahead. What it already shows is that, though in an uneven way, the objective situation all over the world, including in the imperialist countries, is developing favourably for revolution. The main trend of revolution is strengthened. We have seen the waves of militant struggles in imperialist citadels. And now the Arab countries are being shaken up one after the other in an unprecedented series of popular uprisings. <span> </span>Decades old dictatorial regimes were toppled in Tunisia and Egypt. In the absence of communist vision and leadership, these upsurges will ultimately fail in realising the peoples' aspiration of ending all exploitation. But this great churning up, this breech in the walls of reaction, surely creates fresh opportunities for the emergence and strengthening of the Maoist pole. It stands as powerful testimony to the great revolutionary potential existing in the world today.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">In comparison to the favourably developing objective situation and its demands, the subjective strength of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties still lags. Nevertheless, greater attraction of people towards Marxism and socialism all across the world is a very positive sign. There has been a powerful strengthening of anti-imperialist sentiment, specifically directed against US imperialism. Most importantly the formation of Maoist parties, latest in an imperialist country like France, is an inspiring event. The communist revolutionaries must help accelerate this process by waging ideological and political struggle in a planned way. In doing so, emphasis must be laid on defeating revisionism, which is the main danger today, and guarding against dogmatism. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">The growing people's struggles all across the world against imperialist globalisation and US occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan have created favourable grounds in which the possibility of rallying a broad section of pro-people forces against imperialism has widened. Conscious efforts on the part of Maoist revolutionaries to seize this opportunity can change the scenario in favour of anti-imperialist struggles all across the world. This should be done with all force and capacity. Much hinges in this regard on the unity in understanding and common resolve on the part of communist revolutionaries.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="" lang="EN-GB">The Situation in South Asia </span></b></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Mao's assertion that Asia, Africa and Latin America are the storm centres of world proletarian revolution still holds good. Revolutionary class struggles against imperialism and its domestic puppets in South Asia have made this region very important for the world revolution. In concrete, the intense contradictions of the broad masses with feudalism and imperialism, widespread presence of revolutionary, national liberation and democratic movements all across the region and the enormous weight of the huge number of exploited and oppressed masses living in South Asia heightens this potential. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">It is a fact that the masses of this region are commonly weighed down by the yoke of imperialism and Indian expansionism. The Indian state dominates not only over the broad masses in India but also the neighbouring countries. Open and arrogant intervention in the internal affairs of Nepal in recent days is a stark example. Indian ruling classes are gradually surrendering to US imperialism in the latter's plan of bringing the entire region under it strategic web to contain China, an emerging economic power of the 21<sup>st</sup> century. This is the principal aspect. But on the other hand, they also have differences. The Maoist revolutionaries must keep in mind both the collusion and differences that exist between the US, India and China when they determine their strategy and tactics in this region as part of the world revolution.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Apart from semi-feudal and semi-colonial exploitation, a broad section of the Indian masses are victims of national oppression. Untold repression upon Dalits, Adivasis and the religious minorities based on Hindu chauvinism has been the identity of the Indian ruling classes. While a handful of ruling classes subservient to imperialism, principally the US, have been fattening, a huge number of the working people are thrown into ever increasing destitution. The much touted high growth in GDP masks an inhuman reality at the ground level, with no let up in peasants' suicides, punishing price rise, and high unemployment.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">However, the New Democratic Revolution aimed at uprooting semi-feudal and semi-colonial relations from the Indian soil is making newer strides in the recent days. Advances made in the people's war, particularly after the formation of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), militant <span> </span>masses struggles led by the Maoist and other left forces against land grabs and forcible displacement of peasants by monopolies, and other struggles has given sleepless nights to the Indian reactionary ruling classes. Instead of addressing the problems confronting the country and its people they have launched a war on the people, Operation Green Hunt. The aim is to attack and destroy the new revolutionary political power emerging through the people's war, and thus clear the way to unbridled assaults on the people and plunder of natural resources. But this has brought out an unprecedented polarisation of a broad section of left, progressive and democratic forces, of almost the entire pro-people forces, against the country-selling, anti-people ruling classes of India. Wide, determined resistance to the Indian rulers 'war on the people' is growing and strengthening. In the battle field, the People's Guerrilla Liberation Army and People's militia have given sharp blows to the vastly superior and huge enemy force. Despite losing hundreds of their beloved ones in the attacks of the reactionary Indian armed forces, the valiant masses of the war zones maintain a high fighting morale. In fact this solid fortress of the revolutionary masses has been crucial in the successful withstanding of the enemy offensive.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">In order to safeguard their interests and ensure that their puppets don't loose power, imperialism and Indian expansionism, have now come in open to interfere in the internal affairs of Nepal. Thus people's sovereignty has now become inseparably linked with national independence. Consequently, it has widened the possibility of building a broad united front among entire patriots, republicans, lefts, progressives including the entire oppressed classes, nationalities, gender and regions under the leadership of the proletariat for the seizure of power. In this challenging and promising situation the Nepalese people continue to struggle for the fulfilment of their revolutionary aspirations led by the UCPN (Maoist). </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">In Bangladesh, Maoists faced some setbacks with the capture of some veteran leaders by the reactionary regime. Crushing the Maoist movement is given top priority by the state. This counter-revolutionary campaign is trained and guided by imperialism. But despite facing such harsh attacks the Maoists persist along the revolutionary road. The rising struggles of the impoverished masses give favourable opportunities. The present Hasina regime is not only determined to oppress the revolutionary movement but is kneeling down to appease the Indian expansionists opening all the venues for loot and plunder. Its appeasement went to the extent of cooperating with the Indian government in arresting most of the senior leaders of ULFA. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Pakistan has been used as a front paw by the American imperialists for its war of occupation in Afghanistan. With the total subservience to the US imperialists, Pakistan has become a ground for civil war. The strengthening of US grip over Pakistan and the establishment of US bases in Pakistan is making the whole South Asia more vulnerable to US imperialist war designs.</span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Despite ever increasing budgets for the war of occupation in Afghanistan and enhanced deployment of US and its allied forces, the Afghan people are showing grit and determination against the barbaric war of US imperialists. Targeted attacks on occupation forces, the massive destruction of their logistics and ever increasing body count of the allied forces is a slap on the face for Obama's "surge". South Asian regimes, like those of India and Nepal, though not sending troops, are actively supporting the puppet government and is becoming a tacit partner in the occupation war. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">The victory of Rajapaksa is the victory of rabid Sinhala national chauvinist forces. After defeating the LTTE, by perpetrating the murder of thousands of Tamils, this war criminal got elected when lakhs of Tamil population were languishing in miserable conditions surrounded by the barbarous Sri Lankan Army and all opposition was suppressed by fascist means. Indian expansionism actively supported the destruction of the LTTE and was hand in glove with the Rajapaksa government in its genocidal war against the Tamils of Sri Lanka. The LTTE got defeated mainly because of its lack of ideological and political clarity, sharply manifested in its nationalist sectarianism, and secondarily in the positional warfare tactics it adopted. While the defeat of LTTE is an immense loss to the struggling people of the world, it is also a sharp reminder of the need to establish, in theory and practice, the Maoist pole within the broad arena of national liberation struggles. </span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Challenges and opportunities</span></b><span style="" lang="EN-GB"></span></p> <p class="yiv1601102912MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">This Conference is being held when the Indian new democratic revolution continues to confront the serious challenge of "The Operation Green Hunt" launched by Indian expansionist state.

The revolution in Nepal is at the crossroads. The powerful potential of great victory exits along with the serious danger of harsh defeat. Imperialism, and Indian expansionism is openly intervening in Nepal to destroy the revolution and is directly instigating the ruling classes for this.

The attacks were carried out against the Libyan government in an effort to help the US-supported armed rebels which launched armed uprisings in the last weeks of February.</p> <p>"The imperialists are arrogantly imposing their will against a government that has stood for their people's right to self-determination," said the CPP.</p> <p>"The Gadaffi government has long been a target of US attacks since the early 1980s," the CPP pointed out. In 1982, the US imposed an economic embargo against Libya in an effort to force the overthrow of the government. This was followed by an assassination attampt against Gadaffi in 1984 and the aerial bombing of the cities of Tripoli and Benghazi in 1986. Economic sanctions were further imposed by the UN in 1992 and were eased only around 2004 after Libya complied with UN conditions regarding arms control and the surrender of suspects in the 1997 bombing of a commercial plane over Scotland.</p> <p>"The US imperialists have long wanted to overthrow the Gadaffi government since it carried out the nationalization of banks and the oil industry," said the CPP. "The Gadaffi government has steadfastly stood against the imperialist policy of neoliberal globalization and has carried out populist policies ensuring the welfare of the Libyan people."</p> <p>The CPP denounced the "hypocrisy" of US President Obama "who is now launching a large-scale war following mere declarations of 'no-mercy' by the anti-US Gadaffi. Yet, Obama and his imperialist coterie never lifted a finger in January even after their Egyptian puppet Mubarrak attacked peaceful demonstrators with armed thugs and state police personnel."</p> <p>"The armed attacks against Libya are bound to blow up in the face of the US-led imperialists forces," said the CPP. "The US-led bombing of Libya can only succeed in inflaming the patriotic aspirations of the Libyan people and will militate them into uniting to defend their country's right to self-determination."</p> <p>"Majority of the American people will not accept another interventionist war," said the CPP. "Like their wars against Iraq and Afghanistan, the US-led imperialists are risking involvement in another protracted war of intervention that they can never win."</p></div>ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-91962285605249196302011-03-22T06:00:00.001-07:002011-03-22T06:00:41.889-07:00The Imperialist Intrigues Against Libya - Revolutionary Initiative (Canada) Statement from the General SecretaryThe Imperialist Intrigues Against Libya<br />Expose and oppose all designs against the Libyan People<br /><br /><a href="http://revintcan.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/the-imperialist-intrigues-against-libya/" target="_blank">http://revintcan.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/the-imperialist-intrigues-against-libya/</a><br /><br />Revolutionary Initiative (Canada)<br />Statement from the General Secretary<br />March 13, 2011<br /><br />The Imperialist Intrigues Against Libya<br />Expose and oppose all designs against the Libyan People<br /><br />Gaddafi’s relationship to imperialism<br /><br />In stark contrast to the manner in which the Western imperialists have<br />responded to developments across North Africa and the Middle East over<br />the last two months, for the armed opposition in Libya they have been<br />only too ready to support the anti-Gaddafi movement. For all their<br />clamoring about the necessity for “peaceful transitions” where the<br />masses threatened their clients in Tunisia, Egypt, and elsewhere, the<br />imperialists have abandoned their pacifist demagogy when it has come<br />to Libya. NATO is pushing for a military assault against Libya that<br />could range in devastation anywhere from NATO’s operation against<br />Kosovo in 1999 to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.<br /><br />To be sure, the Muammar Gaddafi regime in Libya is neither<br />anti-imperialist nor or a defender of the interests of the Libyan<br />masses. Despite Gaddafi’s support to national liberation movements<br />throughout the 1970s and ‘80s, from the late 1990s onwards the Gaddafi<br />regime took the road of capitulation and collaboration, negotiating<br />its détente with imperialism and sharing in the spoils of a<br />structurally adjusted Libya. UN sanctions were lifted in 1999 and by<br />2006 the US lifted its own sanctions and normalized relations as it<br />looked to get in on the massive investments opportunities that<br />European corporations were availing themselves of.<br /><br />In the 2000s, the Gaddafi regime consolidated its status as a strong<br />ally of imperialism, becoming a partner in the ‘War on Terror’ and<br />rigorously implementing neoliberal structural adjustment programs in<br />Libya. The amount of foreign direct investments from the Western<br />imperialists – especially France, U.K., Germany, Britain, Italy, and<br />Canada – have sky-rocketed in the past decade. According to an April<br />2010 report from the Libyan government, over the past ten years 110<br />state-owned companies have been privatized and the same report<br />promised to privatize 100% of the Libyan economy over time.<br /><br />The Canadian imperialists, for their part, have made substantial<br />investments in Libya in the past few years and want to ensure the<br />protection of those investments. Among the top companies working out<br />of Libya include Canada’s largest oil company, Suncor and the<br />Quebec-based engineering and construction firm SNC-Lavalin. Amongst<br />SNC-Lavalin’s contracts include the construction of the Benghazi<br />airport, a prison in Tripoli, and the massive Great Man-Made River<br />Project.<br /><br />For his opening up to the forces of imperialist globalization in the<br />2000s the Gaddafi regime became tolerable, even celebrated – or at<br />least so long as his rule was secure. But in the second half of<br />February 2011, Gaddafi has lost all support from the imperialists.<br /><br />The emergence of opposition forces in Libya has provided the<br />imperialists with the opportunity to reclaim the initiative in the<br />region’s ongoing developments; restore their image as apparent<br />defenders of justice, democracy and progress; and re-legitimize the<br />logic of imperialist meddling in the region. There’s no doubt that<br />they view Libya as strategically significant and recognize that there<br />is a greater share of spoils to be seized.<br /><br />As the popular rebellions of the Middle East and North Africa unfolded<br />throughout January and February 2011, the Western imperialists<br />desperately struggled to save face in the midst of popular movements<br />that revealed just how hated imperialism’s comprador front men really<br />were. The toppling of Mubarak served as a huge embarrassment for U.S.<br />policy in the region. Mubarak’s Egypt was second only to Israel as the<br />staunchest defender of American imperialist interests in the Middle<br />East.<br /><br />At first, the imperialists cautioned the masses to exercise restraint<br />and ensure that their resistance would remain peaceful. As the<br />people’s movements in various countries advanced and threatened to<br />topple imperialism’s clients, especially in Egypt, the imperialists<br />saved face by feigning neutrality. When the strength of the people’s<br />struggles melted away the support for Ben Ali and Mubarak regimes,<br />some of the imperialists even celebrated these developments<br />“Revolutions” (with the subtle implication that it was time to go home<br />and let the “transition to democracy” work its magic).<br /><br />The Libyan Exception<br /><br />Yet, the chorus sung by the imperialists when it came to Libya<br />contrasts sharply with their positions in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, and<br />all the other popular struggles. The imperialists have made no effort<br />to temper the opposition forces brandishing RPGs and Kalashnikovs<br />against Gaddafi, capturing city by city by force of arms. Certainly,<br />the people have a right to struggle by any means necessary. But had<br />any of the recent mass movements in the region (except for in Iran,<br />perhaps) taken up this level of armed resistance, the West would have<br />immediately labeled them as “terrorist” and provided direct assistance<br />in a merciless military assault.<br /><br />The opposite has been the case with Libya. The imperialists are<br />supporting wholeheartedly the anti-Gaddafi forces. Every diplomatic<br />maneuver taken by the imperialists has been aimed at isolating Gaddafi<br />and supporting the opposition forces.<br /><br />The development of an opposition movement against Gaddafi in the<br />broader context of the protest movements sweeping the region has<br />allowed the imperialists to conflate what’s happening in Libya with<br />everything else. The Western press has given top priority to the cause<br />of the anti-Gaddafi forces, eclipsing all other developments across<br />the Middle East and North Africa, many of which still pose a threat to<br />imperialism’s interests in the region. The diplomatic moves and<br />military maneuvers of the Western imperialists against Libya in the<br />past two weeks signal that they are actively working to steer the<br />popular anti-dictator sentiments in the region and around the world to<br />pursue their own imperialist interests in Libya.<br /><br />Imperialism’s Intrigues Against Libya<br /><br />The maneuvers of the Western imperialists must be exposed and opposed.<br />Any type of meddling or interference by the imperialists will prove<br />disastrous to the interests of the Libyan masses. Whether the<br />imperialists resolve upon stricter economic sanctions, NATO aerial<br />strikes, or outright military occupation, each and every move being<br />contemplated by the imperialists will only intensify the misery felt<br />by the masses under Gaddafi. All we have to do is look to the examples<br />of the Iraq sanctions regime throughout the 1990s, NATO’s aerial war<br />against the former Yugoslavia in 1999, or the occupations of<br />Afghanistan, Iraq, and Haiti in the 2000s to see what bloody<br />catastrophes imperialism has caused in the past decade. The combined<br />effect of these U.S. or NATO-led campaigns has left millions upon<br />millions dead, and tens of millions languishing.<br /><br />On February 26, the U.N Security Council voted unanimously in favour<br />of limited sanctions against Gaddafi and his close associates. The<br />following day, Stephen Harper announced that Canada would take the<br />sanctions one step further by blocking all transactions with the<br />government of Libya, its institutions and agencies, including the<br />Libyan central bank.<br /><br />On March 1, the General Assembly suspended Libya from the UN Human<br />Rights Council. The International Criminal Court has announced that it<br />will investigate Gaddafi for “crimes against humanity” for the<br />regime’s actions from February 15, 2011 onwards. Such charges are<br />never hurled at the clients of the Western imperialists fighting<br />counter-insurgency campaigns far more ferocious than what’s being seen<br />in Libya. Colombia’s decades-long war on its people and the armed<br />revolutionary forces, claiming tens of thousands of lives; Sri Lanka’s<br />genocidal assault against tens of thousands of Tamil civilians in<br />2009; the Philippine state’s notorious disappearance campaign against<br />thousands of mass activists amidst its own anti-Maoist<br />counter-insurgency campaign; India’s anti-Maoist ‘Operation Green<br />Hunt’, the largest military exercise against the Indian people in that<br />country’s history; and Israel’s invasions and sieges against Lebanon<br />in 2006 and Gaza in 2009 – none of these anti-people offensives led to<br />charges of “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity”. These cases do<br />not diminish Gaddafi’s crimes against the Libyan people; they only<br />reveal the great terror that will befall the Libyan people if the<br />imperialist’s intervene.<br /><br />All diplomatic moves taken against Libya have been aimed at<br />delegitimizing Gaddafi while strengthening the hand of the<br />anti-Gaddafi forces. However, with the position of the opposition<br />forces being beat back and incapable of immediate success – a piece of<br />military intelligence that the U.S. imperialists began to admit openly<br />by March 10 – the only option left to the imperialists is to secure<br />the support they need from the “international community” to impose a<br />no-fly zone (which would be followed by air strikes). According to the<br />“international law” of the imperialists, the only legal way to do this<br />is through approval from the United Nations Security Council. However,<br />two of its veto-wielding members, the imperialists to the east, Russia<br />and China, have expressed their opposition to and will likely block<br />any attempt to legally sanction an intervention in Libya. Hence, the<br />imperialists are side-stepping China and Russia by taking their<br />campaign outside UN framework, encouraging the Arab League and the<br />African Union to sanction imperialist intervention.<br /><br />On Saturday, March 12, the Arab League, which has suspended Libya,<br />called on the Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Libya,<br />while paying lip service to being opposed to foreign occupation: “The<br />Arab League has officially requested the UN Security Council to impose<br />a no-fly zone against any military action against the Libyan people”,<br />said the Secretary-General of the League, Amr Moussa.<br /><br />The African Union has thus far rejected military intervention in<br />Libya, not wanting a strike against Gaddafi to set a precedent that<br />would threaten other African heads of state. The AU has insisted that<br />Libya is in a state of civil war and should be treated as such.<br />Zimbabwe’s Mugabe said: “We took exception to interference by Western<br />powers … and we absolutely reject their intervention.”<br /><br />Preparing themselves for this possibility, NATO forces have been<br />accumulating in the Mediterranean since early March, amassing aircraft<br />carriers and rapid strike forces. The challenge confronting the<br />western imperialists, however, is that while they do not want to see<br />the opposition get thoroughly crushed and are military positioned for<br />intervention, they fear making any hasty moves that will turn the<br />Libyan masses and the masses of the whole region and the world against<br />them.<br /><br />U.S. imperialism is already incredibly overstretched and there may not<br />be another set of powers willing to lead up any major operations. But<br />these restraints do not necessarily limit the dangers that remain for<br />the Libyan people.<br /><br />Hence, the imperialist press is working furiously to foster public<br />opinion against Gaddafi in favour of some sort of military<br />intervention.<br /><br />The Libyan masses do not need to replace one set of reactionaries with<br />another set. Any forces in Libya calling on NATO to bomb Libya are<br />opportunists at best, if not reactionaries. The Libyan revolution does<br />not need a NATO campaign of aerial bombing. The overthrow of Gaddafi<br />remains the right of the Libyan people alone and can only come through<br />the fruits of their own struggle. An imperialist intervention will<br />only stem the tide of the revolution and foreclose the possibility of<br />an expansion of people’s power.<br /><br />There are a number of forces claiming to have played a role in<br />initiating the anti-Gaddafi uprisings, including the National<br />Transitional Council, which declared itself the “sole representative<br />of all Libya” on March 5, 2011; and there is the National Conference<br />for the Libya Opposition (NCLO), which is claiming to have played a<br />role as well. Amongst these forces are military men, judges, lawyers,<br />academics – and in the case of the NCLO, the royalist Libyan<br />Constitutional Union led by the pretender to the Libyan throne,<br />Muhammad as-Senussi.<br /><br />That certain imperialists have been quick to extend diplomatic<br />recognition to “the opposition” in Libya does not suggest that what we<br />have observed unfolding is simply a plan hatched in Washington. The<br />Libyan masses have sufficient reason to seek Gaddafi’s removal. In a<br />country with 30% unemployment and 50% youth unemployment, Gaddafi and<br />the bureaucrat capitalists and compradors have become richer and<br />richer through the period of neoliberal reforms, while the masses have<br />suffered immensely. The meddling of the imperialists is merely their<br />attempt to exploit the class contradictions that characterize the<br />opposition to arrive at an outcome even more preferable to<br />imperialism.<br /><br />Revolutionaries in the imperialist countries have the duty to expose<br />and oppose the role of their own imperialist bourgeoisies in Libya,<br />and the people in the Middle East and North Africa have already<br />demonstrated that the assistance of imperialism is not required to do<br />away with reactionaries like Mubarak and Ben Ali. As Mao Zedong once<br />said, “All reactionaries are paper tigers”. Mao’s certainty in the<br />triumph of the people stemmed from his recognition that all<br />reactionaries are divorced or divorceable from the interests of the<br />people.<br /><br />The growing waves of protests, strikes, and uprisings by workers and<br />the broad masses all across the world, conditioned by the general<br />crisis of the imperialist world system, reveal that the position of<br />imperialism is in strategic decline, while that of the proletariat is<br />strategically improving. Today’s People’s Wars in India and the<br />Philippines demonstrate that, when led by a genuine communist Party,<br />the will of the people for liberation is inexhaustible. In the coming<br />years, new People’s Wars will emerge all across the world. Out of the<br />uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East, new and revolutionary<br />communist Parties can and must emerge. The imperialists and all their<br />clients can and must be crushed.<br /><br />Support the people of Libya in smashing Gaddafi and all deals with imperialism!<br /><br />No to imperialist meddling! No to NATO intervention!<br /><br />Support the struggles of the masses in the Middle East and North<br />Africa for New Democracy and Socialism!<br /><br />Revolutionary Initiative<br />March 13, 2011.ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774589.post-28815425593841133392011-03-22T05:57:00.001-07:002011-03-22T05:57:58.801-07:00Revolutionary Women's (MLM) Movement Formed in BangladeshMarch 8, 2011<br />Call of international Women’s Day<br />New Democracy-Socialism-Communism is the path to women’s liberation<br /><br />March 8 is the International Women’s Day. In this day in 1908, women workers in Chicago city in USA finally came up to the street in demand of reducing working hour, women’s right to vote, develop factory environment, maternity leave etc,.<br />What is the real condition of our women?<br />Regardless of rural or urban area, women of workers, peasants and middle class are bound to give birth of children, bring them up and all sorts of house hold work. In Garment prison [It’s like a prison] they use to work hard. Neither there is minimum wage nor working environment. In every step, calling names and discrimination. Many times, workers are burnt to death by being locked the main gate by the authority. They are working with less wage than a male worker socially get only because they are women.<br />What is this outlook?<br />This is male chauvinist outlook. This is a special method of exploitation of human by human in exploitative society. Its origin lies in imperialist world system and semi-feudal semi-colonial society. This outlook lies in each and every arteries of this society. Male domination over women started since the origin of class. When there was no class in primitive communist society, women were equal to men. Agriculture was women’s invention. Its work availability was more than hunting. On the other side, continuing human generation by giving birth to children was an honorable task. Later, when a few people who were clan chiefs, they, by exploiting the different opportunities, seized ownership of property and riches, then they made the mass majority people slave, class society emerged since then. After the invention of plough, men captured agriculture. Men started to keep male chauvinist system by establishing ownership over children. As consequence, women went under men all the way. This male chauvinist system was sustained in slave society, feudal society and present capitalist stage. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels first showed that the exploited class of society the proletariat will destroy this capitalist society and construct socialist and communist society. In Russia, under Lenin’s leadership, first socialist society was established what continued under Stalin’s leadership. In China, the systematic trend of new democracy-socialism-communism was initiated by overthrowing feudalism and imperialism. The trend of women’s liberation is closely linked with that trend of Great Marx, Lenin and Mao. There will be no exploitation in communist society, so male chauvinism too will be wiped out.<br />In Bangladesh, the imperialist collaborator bureaucrat bourgeoisie is dragging women to factories and confining them in over working to get maximum profit by giving fewer wages. Major portion of profit goes to imperialist buying house, shopping mall and big shops. In those garment industries, women workers don’t have any fixed working hour. They are bound to work overtime, sometimes whole night. Many times, those extra working hours have no payment or if they have that are very little while they are the one who are giving the country the major part of foreign currency.<br />On the other side, religious fascism is carrying absolute feudal repression over women. Still many women in rural area and smaller towns are subjected to repressive veil system. Every now and then women are being murdered by Fotwabaji [Fotwa is a so called Islamic rule in which the Mullah give the verdict]. Recently in South Bengal, a minor girl, Hena was killed by being target of Fotwa. The killing of Felani named handicapped minor girl by Indian BSF is an example of imperialist oppression over women.<br />A lot of women are working as housemaid with negligible wage. That work neither has any respect nor fixed wage. Actually, they are subjected to unpaid labor with very little return. Many times, they die by torture of house members. Many women work as cooker in hotel. A lot of women work in brick breaking (for building construction), soil digging (for road construction) and that types of various work.<br />Despite carrying great responsibility as nurse and maid in hospitals, women are being brutally discriminated.<br />Men use to take dowry for marrying women. Innumerable women are subjected to dowry system.<br />Apart from that, many women lead a discriminated life as divorced.<br />A lot of women, driven by poverty, or are forced to take the profession of a prostitute. There too, the owners grab the major portion of income.<br />Bourgeoisie is using women in Television, Cinema, and Theatre as commodity.<br />In cottage industry, in long days, women make very special commodities only to give big profit to capitalists and big markets while they themselves hardly can survive in daily life by too little payment.<br />Grameen bank, brac etc NGOs are exploiting and cheating rural women by taking compound interest. Many women commit suicide when they can’t pay back debt.<br />In the nineteenth century, Begum Rokeya dreamed of emancipation of women. She wanted to break the then restriction over women.<br />Priti Lata, Kalpana Dutt, erstwhile Ila Mitra and Shikha (of Payarabagan) are pride for Bengalee women.<br />Taslima Nasrin is a rebel but not useful for women because of her surrender to imperialism. Bourgeoisie feminists don’t want to join revolutionary movement as they don’t want revolutionary transformation of society. On the other hand, bourgeoisie reformists of women movement despite saying about some reform like female education and job are nothing useful to women because they want to protect the rotten semi feudal semi colonial society. But progressive part of these two trends should be convinced or swept to revolutionary women movement.<br />This is why, we have to commemorate Great women leader Klara Zetkin, Rosa Luxemburg and Chian Ching who said about communist society where there will be no exploitation. There will be no capitalist upon our head. So, male chauvinism will vanish.<br /><br />So, struggling women,<br />Let us unite to break the chain.<br />Let us unite under the banner of Revolutionary Women’s Movement to overthrow the semi feudal semi colonial society with goal of a communist society.ajadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067554575269434088noreply@blogger.com0
