The
Modi’s fascist hindutva regime unleashes another wave of state
repression and war on people. Let us respond intensifying
counter-information, exposure, international and internationalist
solidarity
The Indian state, ruled by the Modi’s regime serving the Indian
masters and imperialism, is developing a new stage of fierce repression
on all fields with the aim to crush the people, stop the people’s war,
attack the Maoists who lead it.
In order to speed up the plans of selling off the natural resources to
the domestic and foreign MNCs, the Indian regime is restructuring its
entire repressive apparatus: army, air force, police, paramilitary
gangs.
They attack not only the “Naxalite threat”, but all the movements
opposing their policies and resisting the ‘Operation Green Hunt’.
They also attack the democratic intellectuals, human rights activists
and any dissenting voice is heard, to wipe out anyone around the
people’s movements and the people’s war led by the Maoists.
They attack the adivasi populations living on the lands rich in natural
resources, where the people’s war is stronger, to eliminate the new
people’s power that is blossoming there.
In recent weeks
, in particular, the Indian regime has widely
touted the illegal arrests of estimated revolutionary intellectuals and
social activists, already criminalized and forced to go underground and
then branded as terrorists, whose only crime is the belonging to the
CPI (Maoist).
Comrades Murali Kannampally and Ismail Hamza were arrested in the
hospital of Talegaon Dabhade where the first was undergoing medical
treatment, while comrades Roopesh, his wife Shyna, and others were
captured in Coimbatore.
It is known that at least two of them have been denied legal assistance
and medical care they need, while other prisoners revealed that, while
questioning, the police threatened to take them to a forest and execute
them in fake encounters or that their family will be arrested.
Under any kind of pretext, their illegal detention is extended and it is
feared the resort to torture, as already occurred many cases. Against
these arrests in the recent days there was a wide mobilization in India
for the release of prisoners and to defend their living and detention
conditions.
The persecution of intellectuals and democrats in the University never stopped.
GN Saibaba, professor at Delhi University, with a disability of 90
percent has been in prison for a year while the trial has not even
started and the courts have repeatedly rejected his bail application,
despite the evidence that he represents no danger and has no chance to
escape.
Meanwhile, the witch hunt continues on students and intellectuals
branded for ‘Maoists links’, threatened, harassed, arrested, detained
for years waiting for a trial, that, when celebrated, at the end often
will acquit them.
In India and around the world the initiatives of solidarity demanding
their immediate release and the repeal of the draconian laws, a colonial
heritage, applied to haunt them. The same laws used to sentence for
life under ‘sedition’, Raja Sarkhel and Prasun Chatterjee, members of
the Revolutionary Democratic Front, an officially not banned
organization, along with Chatradhar Mahato and three other known
activists of the people.
The Modi’s regime increases to a large-scale the repression and
displacement, often with massacres, on the adivasis and people who
resist the deportation from their land to give space to the big projects
which will devastate their lands forever.
The CPI (Maoist) reveals how the Indian state is preparing a ‘Salva
Judum 2′, the replica of the first Salva Judum unleashed in recent
years. Salva Judum is the infamous name given to the paramilitary gangs
of Hindu fundamentalists who were given free hand and full impunity for
atrocities, fires, destruction, massacres, rapes, committed in the name
of ‘development’ in many villages.
It is a new escalation of the war on the people lasting since 2009 – the
Operation Green Hunt – that the struggling people’s masses and all the
sections of the democratic opposition in the Indian society are
countering on all fields, as occurred during the first Salva Judum,
whose gangs were hit and defeated by the masses and the people’s war,
led by the CPI (Maoist).
The initiatives of resistance to stop the war on the people multiply
throughout India, while the people’s movement aiming to overthrow the
ruling classes grows.
Repression will not stop but feeds the rebellion.
The comrades arrested are well-known and loved by the people, who express solidarity and intensify the struggle.
But we also urgently need to intensify the international and
internationalist solidarity, that in recent years developed in many
forms, to stop the genocidal hand of Modi and support the struggle of
the Indian masses.
The International Committee to Support the People’s War in India calls
the whole movement to mobilize in a protracted campaign of
counter-information and exposure of the Indian regime and imperialism
that sustains it.
Stop Green Hunt!
Defend the arrested comrades and political prisoners!
Support the struggling masses!
A month of activities and initiatives at the embassies, consulates,
centers of economic interests of the Indian multinationals, public
meeting to inform and develop people’s solidarity, to honour the martyrs
of the revolution, presenting books and publications of the CPI
(Maoist) and Indian intellectuals to learn about the situation in India
and the advances of the revolutionary people’s struggle.
