The CCOMPOSA
strongly condemns the growing interference of US imperialism in South
Asia in collaboration with the respeetive governments of the region.
They are particularly using the Indian expansionist rulers as their
major tool in South Asia to suppress the people’s movements,
particularly those led by the Maoists. This is part of the US’s
aggressive designs worldwide, particularly its intervention and
occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The US
imperialists first declared the CPN(Maoist) as a terrorist organization
and then the MCCI and CPI(ML)(PW). This amounts to a gross interference
in the internal affairs of the respective countries of South Asia. The
Indian expansionists have been acting as a major tool to suppress these
revolutionary struggles - whether by the earlier BJP government or the
present Congress government.
The new
Congress government immediately after corning to power, within a week,
sent its foreign minister to Nepal, on a 3-day visit, where he barked
ferocious against the Maoists. The government simultaneously gave two
helicopters to Nepal, that were used in Kargil, plus over three crore
rupees of weapons and cash to suppress the Maoists. Also, in two major
covert operations the new Congress government arrested 11 leaders of the
CPN(Maoist) in Patna, including two alternative PBMs and three
alternative CCMs; and in Warangal district of AP killed two comrades and
sincerely injured three, including the Warangal district committee
secretary of the CPI(ML)(PW). Also 5 comrades of the MCCI are still
facing the death sentence and 3,200 people are still arrested under POTA
in Jarkhand region alone.
We the
Maoists of South Asia strongly condemn these attacks and demand the
unconditional release of all Nepalese comrades in Indian prisons
including the Standing Committee Member, com. Kiran and PBMs coms.
Gaurav and Yadav. We also demand the unconditional release of all
political prisoners in the respective countries of South Asia and the
commuting of the death sentence on the 5 comrades. We also demand the
repeal of POTA.
We warn that
if the US imperialists and the Indian expansionists persist in their
anti-people policies in the region, the people of South Asia will rise
in revolt against these reactionaries and their agents throughout the
region.
