Call of the Central Military

On the occasion of the PLGA 12th
anniversary celebrations
Dear comrades, beloved
people!
People’s Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA)
was formed on December 2, 2000 for the victory of Indian New Democratic
Revolution as part of the World Socialist Revolution and as a detachment of the
International Army of the Proletariat in the path shown by the great
revolutionary teachers of the Indian revolution Comrades Charu Mazumdar and
Kanhai Chatterjee. By December 2, 2012 it would complete 12 years of its
formation. The Central Military Commission (CMC) is giving a call on this
occasion to conduct 12th PLGA anniversary weekly celebrations in all
the guerilla zones and red resistance areas and to expand by intensifying
guerilla warfare to defeat through People’s War - ‘Operation Green Hunt’ (OGH)
(War on People) carried on by the exploiting ruling classes.
In the past one year nearly hundred beloved
daughters and sons of the oppressed masses and common people laid down their
most invaluable lives. The leader of the Indian revolutionary movement, General
of People’s War, our Politburo member and the beloved son of the oppressed
masses – Comrade Mallojual Koteswarlu alias Kishenji lost his life in a fake
encounter in the conspiracy of the Central and Bengal state governments and the
central intelligence agencies including the Bengal SIB. Dandakaranya Special
Zone Committee member Comrade Harak (Srikant) was martyred due to ill-health,
North Telangana Special Zone Committee member Comrade Gundeti Sankar (Seshanna)
was martyred due to snake bite and Bihar-Jharkhand-North Chhattisgarh Special
Area leader Comrade Ajay Ganju was martyred in the hands of the enemy in Kunda
forests of Chhatra district of Jharkhand. Comrade Siddharth Burgohain, leading
team member (Regional Committee level) of Asom was martyred in a fake encounter
along with three comrades. In Dandakaranya Comrade Vijay (South Regional
Committee member) was martyred in an accident and senior party activist comrade
Swaroopa (Sunita) was martyred due to ill-health. Comrade BSA Satyanarayana,
leader of working class movements and people’s lawyer, Comrade Goru Madhava
Rao, veteran of Srikakulam Struggle and epitome of staunch communist
commitment, Comrade Penduru Bhim Rao, Adivasi leader breathed their last this
year. Nearly 60 common people and activists of mass organizations and
Revolutionary People’s Committees lost their lives due to police brutality. 19
unarmed people were killed in cold blood in the Sarkinguda massacre in the
Basaguda area of Bijapur district in Dandakaranya. Let us pay red homage to
each one of these martyrs and vow to fulfill their dreams.
The Indian ruling classes are implementing
in a structured manner the counter-revolutionary LIC strategy under the
guidance of the U.S. imperialists with the aim of wiping out the Indian
revolutionary movement. The various tactical counter offensive campaigns and
military actions taken up as part of resistance by the PLGA in the past one
year in various guerilla zones to resist this had a good political impact. A
total of 114 police died and more than 191 were injured in several single
actions, operations and ambushes such as – the ambush near Gorgonda (Sukma) on
the vehicle of Koya Commando commanders Kartam Surya and Kicha Nanda, the
massive brave ambush conducted on the convoy of CRPF and CoBRA forces near
Pusutola (Gadchiroli), Irpugutta ambush (Kanker), Kirandul night ambush
(Dantewada), the ambush on butcher Mahendra Karma, the leader of Salwa Judum
(Dantewada) – all in Dandakaranya; the valiant ambush on mine-proof vehicle
near Bargarh (Garhwa), Kharanji Tungi ambush (Latehar), the brave attack on the
enemy helicopter in Labhar forest area (Latehar), the ambush on NH-2 (Latehar),
the attack on the escort vehicle in Giridih town & release of eight Maoist
prisoners – all in Jharkhand; the battles waged by PLGA on the CRPF and CoBRA forces
on the same day in Baltor and Dumaria forests in Gaya district of Bihar, the
ambush on mine-proof vehicle near Sakarbandha; the Janniguda (Dyke 3) ambush
(Chitrakonda-Balimela road), the single action in Sileru – in AOB; the
Badarpanga ambush in Odisha (Kandhamal), the night ambush in North Telangana
and the Gaoltor ambush in West Bengal (Lalgarh). PLGA seized 29 weapons from
them. Due to the guerilla actions of the PLGA the ruling classes were forced to
deploy more forces in our areas and to decentralize forces in vast areas. As a
result, PLGA forces were successful in fighting back the enemy offensive.
From mid-2011 the ruling classes increased
their offensives on the movement areas. These operations are being carried out
with the aim of damaging our movement areas and damaging our coordination by
cutting up our areas into parts. Massacres like the one at Sarkinguda on the
people and murders of activists are increasing. Reactionary gangs like Salwa
Judum, Nagrik Suraksha Samity, TPC, SPM, Harmad Bahini, Bhairav Sena, Santi
Committee and Santi Sangam, secret vigilante gangs, police, paramilitary and
commando forces are together resorting to such massacres. The National
Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC) to be newly formed by the central government to
fight back Maoists and ‘terrorists’ would turn out to be the ‘biggest threat
even to the namesake sovereignty, peace, security, freedom, democracy and right
to live of the people’.
The Indian government is deploying Army to
wipe out the revolutionary movement. They are constructing all the infra
structure needed for the offensives to be conducted by the Army and the Air
Force. Air Bases are being built in several areas in Chhattisgarh (CG),
Vidarbha, Andhra Pradesh (AP), Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha for conducting Air
Force attacks in support of the Army offensives. There are building 400
fortified police stations in the four tri-junctions – AP-CG-Maharashtra;
AP-CG-Odisha; CG-Jharkhand-Odisha and Odisha-West Bengal-Jharkhand and
strengthening carpet security. They are giving training, weapons and equipment
to their forces to fight back any kind of attacks by our PLGA forces. They are
speeding up their preparations for drone (UAV) attacks and are concentrating on
annihilating the leadership in the field. The central government decided to
build 2200 communication towers in areas of Naxalite influence. With the aim of
keeping surveillance on the movements of guerillas in thick forests they
launched Resat-1 satellite in end April 2012. They are intensifying reforms with
the aim of splitting the revolutionary camp and increasing the social base of
the exploiting classes. They are economically benefiting a section of people
amongst the political leaders, officials, contractors, tribal elders/bad
gentry, rich and middle peasants and are utilizing them as their social base.
They are waging incessant psychological warfare by propagating on one hand that
socialism-communism are outdated and that they can never emerge victorious and
on the other hand are urging those inside revolutionary camp to join the police
or as informers by deserting the revolutionary movement as they would be wiping
it within 5-10 years and as they could never win. They are encouraging
liquidators like Savyasachi Panda and trying to fizzle out the movement.
Resorting to heinous, cruel and inhuman
offensives on the revolutionaries and the oppressed masses to hand over
billions of dollars worth riches to the imperialist corporations, loot of
resources and wiping out the alternative people’s political power that is
budding under the leadership of the Maoist party is the aim of the Indian
ruling classes and their imperialist masters. CMC is calling upon the oppressed
masses and all well-wishers of the people to defeat the offensive of the Indian
State by intensifying the People’s War and democratic and political agitations
all over the country.
Dear Comrades, beloved
people!
The financial crisis of world capitalism is
deepening and expanding further. The imperialists are contending with each to
loot all kinds of sources (human, material) in the backward countries apart
from increasing exploitation on the workers and middle classes in their
countries in order to overcome this crisis. Attacks on Sikhs, East Asians,
South Asians, Muslims and Arabs increased a lot as racism is increasing
outrageously in the imperialist countries. Workers, youth, women and middle
classes are agitating in several European countries against these neo-liberal
economic policies. Proletarian parties and progressive people’s organizations
are gaining strength again. Anti-imperialist struggles are intensifying in
various forms in all the backward countries. As pro-U.S. rulers had again come
to power after the Arab Spring in another guise, people are inevitably
realizing the need to choose the revolutionary path. Resistance struggles of
oppressed nationalities are continuing in several countries. Muslim people rose
like a storm all over the world against the U.S. film that insulted Islam.
Advancement of People’s Wars in Philippines and India, revolutionary forces
separating themselves from the UCPN (M) in Nepal by opposing its revisionist
line, Maoist forces being active in countries such as Turkey, Peru and
Bangladesh etc, Maoist organizations and anti-imperialist organizations in
several European countries taking up several programs in solidarity to the
ongoing People’s War in our country - are all favorable phenomena.
All the fundamental contradictions in our
country are intensifying due to the neo-liberal economic policies implemented
by the governments. The rich are becoming super rich while the poor are turning
paupers. 77 percent of the country’s population is not even in a position to
spend 20 rupees a day and suffering from utter poverty. Scams that came to
light recently exposed the likes of Rahul Gandhi, Robert Vadhra, central
ministers Sarad Pawar, Salman Khurshid and BJP president Nitin Gadkari
thoroughly. These economic disparities and corruption are leading to social
unrest and are turning into a source for revolution. Adivasis and other
peasantry are fighting for Jal-Jungle-Zameen and against displacement.
Peasantry is fighting against cut in agrarian subsidies, for fair prices,
against adulteration in fertilizers and pesticides, for electricity and for
preservation of seeds. People are fighting against price rises, unemployment,
famine and starvation deaths. Retail traders are fighting against foreign
direct investments. Indian Airlines-Air India pilots, bank and insurance
employees, workers and students are fighting against privatization in their
sectors. Thousands of workers who were on roads due to lock out of Maruti
Suzuki in Gurgaon waged militant struggles. Artisans, fishing communities,
women, Dalits, Adivasis – all sections of people are fighting against loss of
livelihood and against the exploitation of land lords, comprador bureaucratic
bourgeoisie (CBB) and imperialists. In spite of severe repression nationality
struggles of the Kashmir and North East for national liberation and
independence are rising repeatedly. CMC is calling upon the Indian oppressed
masses, patriotic and democratic forces to intensify the People’s War which is
decisive and democratic and political agitations with the slogan ‘Let us seize
political power through People’s War’.
The reason behind the utter poverty,
unemployment, illiteracy and malaises is the exploitation and oppression of
Indian big land lords and CBB who are both lackeys of the imperialists. PLGA is
fighting with the political aim of establishing a new democratic society where
such exploitation and oppression end and a socialist system where there are no
economic and social inequalities. We are carrying on armed struggle in the
inevitable conditions where this political aim cannot be achieved through
peaceful means or in the path of bourgeois parliamentary elections. Several
struggles failed in achieving this aim using the above methods during the
British colonial rule and in the post-colonial days. Our struggle is neither
extremism nor terrorism. This is solely the foul propaganda of the central and
state governments. They are propagating that our People’s War is extremism and
terrorism with the aim of gaining legitimacy for their fascist offensive on the
revolutionary movement. All these exploiters who are mortgaging our country to
the imperialists and resorting to scams worth billions of rupees are all
betrayers of our country. We are calling upon the people to overthrow these
exploiting classes and betrayers of the country and participate in the People’s
War ongoing for seizure of political power of the oppressed masses and join the
PLGA that is waging this People’s War. Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal who are
claiming that they would end corruption are all apologists of the exploiting
system in our country. They would be able to bring only some namesake reforms
like the Lokpal. Believing them would be deceitful. We are calling upon
workers, peasants, students, intellectuals, doctors, lawyers, journalists,
artisans, Dalits, Adivasis, women, various minorities, various nationalities, patriots
and democrats to participate in the People’s War ongoing for sovereign,
independent, democratic India based on freedom, independence and equality and
join the PLGA that is leading this People’s War.
Conduct meetings, rallies, demonstrations
on a huge scale in each and every village, nook and corner to propagate the
political aim of the People’s War waged by the PLGA and to defeat the Operation
Green Hunt!
Note : On this occasion we would not
observe 'Bandh'. Using this call police creating that type of 'Bandh'
atmosphere. Don't believe it.
