We Always Repay Our Blood Debts to the Enemy
– Com. Ganapathy
|
Within a little over
a month of the People’s War secretary uttering these prophetic words (see last
issue of People’s March), a detachment belonging to the Guerilla Army of
the CPI (ML)[PW] struck at the core of the reactionary leadership of the fascist
TDP, which rules the police state of Andhra Pradesh. The annihilation of the
Panchayati Raj minister (who was a Home minister of AP for five years until
October 1999) A. Madhav Reddy in a powerful landmine blast on March 7 this year,
was a part repayment of the blood debt owed by the enemy to the revolutionaries
in India. The most brutal killing of Comrades Shyam, Mahesh and Murali – the top
leaders of CPI (ML)[PW] – after arrest and torture on December 1, 1999, is seen
to be the immediate cause for this political assassination of a senior
functionary in the state government who was next only to the chief minister,
Chandrababu Naidu. Whatever be the hue and cry raised by the ruling TDP in AP,
the BJP-led government at the Centre and the various bourgeois and revisionist
parties at this "blow" delivered by the Naxalites to the functioning "democracy"
in the country, it is obvious that Madhav Reddy had signed his own death warrant
by allowing the mercenary police of AP to arrest, torture, maim and kill at will
anyone connected to the revolutionary movement in AP. His annihilation was the
logical culmination of the horrifying blood-bath unleashed by the present TDP
government in which he served as the Home Minister for almost five years. Going
by the fascist methods pursued by the cyber maniac Naidu, who has far surpassed
several tin-pot dictators of Latin America, or the Philippines, in eliminating
the revolutionaries without trial (even under a dictator like Fujimori in Peru
where the people’ war has been making great advances, the top leaders of the
party were not killed in this manner), it is clear that the revolutionaries will
have no other go but to hit back at the enemy’s head. The brutal killing of the
three CC members in December last, it appears, made the PW leadership realise
that hitting out at the enemy’s head – i.e., members of the state cabinet and
the top police brass – was also an essential component in advancing the people’s
war by bringing about demoralisation and fear in the enemy camp. Needless to
say, the more the enemy pursues such savage methods of killing revolutionaries
in cold blood, the more will be the retaliation from the revolutionaries to
repay the blood debts.
