Maoists call for Bharat bandh on April 26
The naxals appealed to para-military, Chhattisgarh police and Indian jawans not to take part in the anti-naxal operation, 'Prahar' but to quit their jobs, join and support the people's movement to defeat the operation 'Samadan-Prahar'
Kothagudem: The Maoist Central Committee has called for ‘Bharat Bandh’ on April 26 protesting against the alleged suppression of people’s movements in the country.
A statement released here on Monday by CPI (Maoist) South Sub-zonal Bureau appealed to the public to support the bandh and revealed that a campaign on revolutionary activity of the Maoists and extending support to all public movements in the country was being organised from April 1 to April 25.
The naxals appealed to para-military, Chhattisgarh police and Indian jawans not to take part in the anti-naxal operation, ‘Prahar’ but to quit their jobs, join and support the people’s movement to defeat the operation ‘Samadan-Prahar’
The statement alleged that police forces at the behest of their officials and the government were killing revolutionary activists to earn rewards and awards.
Even after four months of agitation and sacrifice of life by 300 farmers no steps were taken to address demands of the farmers protesting against the three Farm Laws, the naxals alleged.
Tight police security on border areas
Meanwhile, the district police have intensified combing operations and inspections in the forests and on the borders of Chhattisgarh and Maharashstra in the wake of recent incidents of exchange of fire in those States. Tight security measures have been taken to prevent any possible Maoist violence in the district, the officials said.
