We publish an updated and actualized version of the Declaration for the fallen revolutionary fighters in India and a call for international actions:
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
International Call for Actions: "He who is not afraid of death by a thousand cuts dares to unhorse the emperor".
Long live the people's war waged by the CPI (Maoist), long live the heroic fighters of the CPI (Maoist) who have found immortality!
In the context of the reactionary elections of the old Indian State and the election boycott campaign led by the CPI (Maoist), according to the information publicly available until now, 29 revolutionary fighters were killed in Chhattisgarh. As the International Communist League, we salute the masses and combatants who immortalized their martyrdom through heroic resistance.
As the International Communist League we call for international actions – from the 26th of April to the 4th of May, 2024 – holding high the fallen heroic fighters and defending the People’s War in India!
We are proud to consider the fighters of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), who fell in this glorious struggle as part of the international communist movement, as our own martyrs.
We sincerely salute the leadership and cadres of the CPI (Maoist), the fighters of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army and the poor peasants who are supporting the people's war waged under the leadership of the CPI (Maoist) despite the brutal aggression of the fascist Indian state.
The fascist Indian state has recently intensified its attacks on the guerrilla areas and unleashed a wave of terror against the poor peasants with the help of paramilitary groups and its official armed forces. The fascist Indian state has carried out similar operations in the past to prevent the people's war of the Maoists. But each time these counter-revolutionary attacks were thwarted with the help of the CPI (Maoist)-led People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) and the local people at great cost.
The fascist Indian state wanted to achieve results through waves of counter- revolutionary terror, mobilising large military forces and collaborators with Sendra and Salwa Judum, in which more than two thousand indigenous people were massacred between 2005 and 2009, then 'Operation Green Hunt' between 2009-2017 to crush the CPI (Maoist). After the defeat of Operation Green Hunt, a new counterrevolutionary campaign, Operation Samadhan was announced in May 2017 for five years, Operation Prahar for 2020-2021, but each time the CPI (Maoist) was able to resist these waves of counter-revolutionary attacks with the great support of the people.
In January 2024, the fascist Indian state again launched a massive wave of counter-revolutionary military offensive. Thousands of police, soldiers and paramilitaries were mobilised in the operation areas.
In a press release dated 1 January 2024, the Central Regional Office of the CPI (Maoist) Central Committee had called for public awareness and protest against the Indian state's counter-revolutionary offensive plan called 'Operation Kagar'. The statement titled 'Defeat Operation Kagar' said, "In the meetings attended by the Prime Minister of the Indian state, Home Minister, Chief Ministers, Police Chiefs, intelligence officials and paramilitary forces, it was decided to mobilise all forces for the complete annihilation of the Maoists to create a 'New India' by 2047", indicating the significance of the attack launched by the fascist Indian state.
On 16 April 2024, the high price paid by the martyrs in the struggle between the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army and the fascist Indian state forces shows us that the fascist Indian state will not achieve its goals this time as in previous waves of counterrevolutionary operations. The fighters of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) waging people's war under the leadership of the CPI (Maoist) and the oppressed and poor masses of the region will defeat this wave of fascist terror at any cost.
As the International Communist League, we reaffirm, as a precondition of our understanding of international solidarity, that we will support the heroic struggle of the CPI (Maoist) with all the means at our disposal and that we consider the people's war in India as our own struggle.
We strongly condemn the fascist terrorist operations of the fascist Indian state against the CPI (Maoist), the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army and the peoples of the region. We call upon the revolutionary and progressive public for attention and support.
THE FIGHTERS OF THE PEOPLE'S LIBERATION GUERRILLA ARMY (PLGA) ARE IMMORTAL!
LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE'S WAR LED BY THE CPI (MAOIST)!
LONG LIVE MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM!
LONG LIVE INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY!
International Communist League
