2017 has been a bad year for the reactionary forces in Chhattisgarh. In their war against the people, they weren't able to increase the number of Maoist (or alleged Maoists) they were able to kill, while the amount of personal lost on the other hand went up. Not only were the revolutionary forces able to inflict greater losses in Chhattisgarh, they were also able to make great leaps in other parts of the country.

We publish this declaration of the TKP/ML which was already published in german and english and is also available in greek:

Partimiz içinde yaşanan gelişmeler ve ayrışmaya dair “son bir açıklama” yaparak kamuoyunu bilgilendirmek ve yönelimimizi çizmek bir ihtiyaç olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Zira Partimizde yaşanan ayrışmaya dair bütünlüklü bir bilgilendirme yanında, partimizin gelinen noktada sınıf mücadelesinin görevlerine odaklanacak bir yönelime hızla sokulması açısından bu açıklamayı önemli görüyoruz. Kamuoyuna yansıyan ve yansımayan boyutuyla ana hatları ve dönüm noktalarını tespit ederek süreci bütünlüklü bir değerlendirmeye tabi tutacağız. Son yaşanan gelişmelerin ne anlam ifade ettiği, parti kamuoyumuza ne anlatmak istediğine dairde perspektifimizi ortaya koyacağız. Zira artık gelinen nokta tüm cepheleri ve hatları çizilmiş, örgütsel ayakları oturmuş, siyasi-ideolojik çizgileri belirginleşmiş net bir ayrışma durumudur. Bu tabloda partimizden bir hizip çalışmasıyla ayrışan grubu nasıl tanımladığımız, ilişkilenmemizin ve yaklaşımımızın ne olacağı, bu grubu siyasal-ideolojik tanımlamamızın ne olduğunu yeniden ve bütünlüklü ilan etmemiz gereken bir aşamaya gelmiş bulunuyoruz.

On the 15th of December, up to 19 Members of the Revolutionary Writers’ Association (Virasam) were taken into preventive custody by the indian police. This happened shortly before a protest of Virasam against the World Telugu Conference should take place. The Chairman of Virasam, Varavara Rao, who also was detained, told the reactionary indian press: "The State government is organising the conference to promote Bhramnical ideology and encouraging capitalists. These policies will have a bad impact on modern poets and budding writers".

In the evening of the same day, all mentioned Members were released from preventive custody.
