Press Releases of COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST) CENTRAL COMMITTEE (July 2010 - July 2012) 2 Publisher’s Note We are publishing here the statements issued by the CC, CPI (Maoist) from July 2010 to July 2012. This period is one of the most turbulent periods in our country and the world and one of the toughest in terms of intensification of the offensive of the Indian state on the revolutionary movement in India. CPI (Maoist) responded to the various political changes happening in the world and in our country in this period and categorically stated its stand through these statements. In view of the historical significance of these statements we have compiled them and are placing the compilation before the cadres, the people and all Maoist, progressive and democratic organizations, parties and intellectuals in our country and abroad who stand in solidarity with the Maoist movement. This compilation would be useful in informing the organizations, parties and intellectuals who support the Maoist movement about the viewpoint and stands of the party on various issues and would also educate the cadres and the people about the same. The calls given by the party on various issues in these statements were implemented by the party cadres and thus these statements had significance in revolutionary practice too. In the backdrop of the ruling classes’ foul and vicious propaganda increasing at an unprecedented scale as part of its psychological warfare that is itself an integral part of the Low-Intensity Conflict strategy implemented in our country under the guidance and full support of the US imperialists, it has become utterly necessary for revolutionary propaganda also to pose a formidable challenge to it. We hope that this compilation also would play its role in countering the psy-war of the ruling classes on the CPI (Maoist) and the revolutionary movement led by it. We appeal to our cadres and sympathizers and supporters of our movement to use this as a weapon in revolutionary propaganda in the fight against the foul propaganda of the Indian State. 3 On the occasion of bringing this compilation, we humbly pay our red homage to our beloved leaders Comrade Cherukuri Rajkumar (Politburo member) and Comrade Mallojhala Koteswarlu (Politburo member) who were spokespersons for the Central Committee and the Eastern Regional Bureau respectively for their contribution in the field of political propaganda in Protracted People’s War as spokespersons of the party. We had lost both these great leaders of Indian Revolution in this period and this compilation includes statements that paid rich tributes to them.

Condemn with one voice, the Fake Encounter that took place as a part of the war against people and Operation Green Hunt! Make a success the Protest Week from July 8th to July 14th and Bharat Bandh on 13th and 14th of July, as a part of this Protest Week! A bright star of the Indian revolution fallen down! Three days back, Com. Cherukuri Rajkumar (Azad), the great leader of the proletariat who played a key role in the Indian revolutionary movement for nearly four decades; the central committee member of Communist Party of India (Maoist), the Politburo member and the official spokesperson of the Central Committee, and the beloved leader of the Indian toiling masses, was brutally killed along with a freelance Journalist, Hemachandra Pandey by the watch dogs of the Imperialism, i.e. the Indian ruling classes. Com. Azad had to come to Dandakaranya in the first week of July, to teach political economy classes to the party cadre. For that purpose, he set up an appointment with the Special Zonal Committee of Dandakaranya, on July 1st, in Nagpur town. He even informed the Dandakaranya Comrades about his arrival on 30th June. The Dandakaranya Committee sent a comrade to bring him in. But that comrade returned as Com. Azad didn’t turn up at the specified place and time. The police arrested Com. Azad along with the journalist Hemachandra Pandey at the wee hours of 151 and 2nd July and brutally killed them in an ‘encounter’ in Adilabad district of Andhra Pradesh. As Com. Azad informed that he had started on 30th of June and 7 not reached the particular place on July 1st suggests that, the murderous and monstrous APSIB personnel might have abducted them during his journey to Nagpur or after reaching the Nagpur town. The murderers tortured them cruelly and shot them up on the same night in Adilabad district. We appeal to all to condemn this dastardly murder with one voice. We appeal all the people to agitate against the cruel and suppressive acts of the ruling classes, which on one side are hunting and brutally killing the revolutionaries standing for the cause of the people, and chanting the mantras of democracy, peace, law and justice with that same blood spilling mouth on the other side. Some exploiting powers are trying very hardly to pocket our beloved country for their will or to mortgage it to their imperialist masters and are even trying to sell it. As a part of that they are giving out our forests, mines and the rivers to the imperialists. The innumerable agreements including the nuclear deal that our ruling classes made with the imperialist countries and multi national companies stand as naked evidences to this. Digging out the minerals from our mines is the part of this exploitation only. The projects on our rivers that are under construction and to be constructed are meant only for the speedy shifting of our fortunes through the ships by the imperialists; and the widening roads are to pave the way to exploitation. The proposed SEZs, corporate farmlands are for the interests of the imperialists only. The ruling classes fondly named this exploitation as ‘development’! This ‘development’ is meant for the exploiting classes only and it is a fact that even 1% of this ‘development’ wouldn’t reach the large sections of the Indian masses. Because of this ‘development’, our lands, the land produce, our water resources and our culture have been alienated from us. This unconditional surrender of the ruling classes is a great shame to us and it throws us into slavery. These exploiting powers which are selling our beloved mother land are shamelessly calling themselves as patriots. The oppressed people of our country endeavored to demolish this conspiracy of these traitors in the guise of patriots, and chose the path of revolution. The workers, peasants, adivasis, students, intellectuals, women 8 and minorities, the true inheritors of this country, are actively taking part in this movement. The Communist Party of India (Maoist) is the inspiration to this struggle and stood in solidarity with the struggle, and proudly leading this movement. Because of this only, in the view of Sonia, Manmohan and Chidambaram clique, the Party became a serious threat to the internal security of the country. This clique and its imperialist masters clearly know that Maoist Party is not at all a threat to the country’s internal security but indeed a threat to their security and their interests of the exploitation. This clique is trying to deceit the people and is day dreaming to gain authenticity to the ruthless suppression that it is launching on the struggling people, by showing the Party as a serious threat to the internal security. From the day it dubbed the Party as a serious threat to the internal security of the country, it is enforcing serious repression on the Party and the people that are struggling under the leadership of the Party. It is thinking that by making the people to believe that the Maoist Party as an internal threat, it can suppress anyone, who opposes its exploitation, by dubbing them as Maoists. We all see that the government is suppressing the people’s movements that are not at all in any way related to the Maoist Party, by dubbing them as Maoist related movements. To overcome the serious economic crisis that they are facing now, the imperialists have no alternative other than intensifying the exploitation. As a part of that they are severely trying to rob the produce of our forests, especially they are keeping their eyes on the forests of Dandakaranya, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, the rich sources of minerals. But it’s becoming impossible to them to move the assets from these areas, as these areas are under the influence of Maoist Party. That is why; they tried to suppress the movement in the name of Salwa Judum and Sendra. But the people and our Party defeated the attack by resisting heroically, and so they put forward the Operation Green Hunt now. From 10 months to till date, they brutally killed hundreds of ordinary people, from infants to elderly people, and killing more and more people in the name of Green Hunt. They are resorting to mass rapes on women, putting fire to hundreds of villages and demolishing the people’s property. In Dandakaranya only, they killed 150 ordinary people, put fire to innumerable villages and resorted to sexual violence on hundreds of women. 9 While killing the general people on one side, they are targeting and hunting the Maoist Party and trying to wipe out the leadership to the people. The brutal killing of Com. Azad is a part in that. Com. Azad worked with strong conviction for the Indian Revolution for the past four decades. He began his journey as a Radical student and in a very short period spread to several arenas. He completed his M.Tech. in Warangal Regional Engineering College and dedicated his life to the revolution with the inspiration of martyr Com. Surapaneni Janardan and Com. Kondapalli Seetharamaiah, the then leader of the movement. He exhibited extraordinary intelligence and capabilities right from his childhood and maintained the same heights in the study of revolutionary ideology, its implementation and revolutionary practice. He laid foundation to build the revolutionary movement in Karnataka state. He was elected to the Central Committee, became the member of Politburo. He worked hardly in different arenas like ideological, political and constructive work and also worked as an official spokes person of the oppressed masses, targeted against the ruling classes. The murder of Com. Azad is significantly notable. For some time, the home minister Chidambaram, with his high-flown talk, about bringing to an end to the Naxalite violence and trying to conceal the inhuman violence that they are executing on the people. While Chidambaram has been waging an unlawful war against the people of the country and concealing innumerable atrocities that he was committing against the people, resorting to bad propaganda in a big way against the resistance of revolutionary forces; Com. Azad had been instantly and incessantly made the Party’s viewpoint and the voice of toiling masses, audible loudly to the world. When some democrats along with Swami Agnivesh came with peace proposals recently, Com. Azad put “forward the Party’s opinion. He proposed that to solve this problem, the Operation Green Hunt should be stopped immediately and the ceasefire should take place from both sides at a time. While pretending to continue this process and prevaricating the people on one side, the Sonia, Manmohan, Chidambaram clique determined to kill Com. Azad. That is why Chidambaram impeded Swami Agnivesh’s initiation. It is crystal clear that Com. Azad’s murder was a part of a big conspiracy and the clique of the ruling classes has no sincerity in peace, peace talks, and solving the problems of the people. 10
