The Central Committee of the CPI(ML) is deeply concerned at the killing of Comrade Kesava Rao, also known as Basavraj, the General Secretary of the CPI (Maoist), along with a large number of his comrades and villagers.
We strongly condemn this act of killings by the armed forces of the state under the banner of Operation Kagar.
This is an act of cold blooded murder sponsored by the state when the other side is ready for negotiations. Preventing war by negotiations is the law of war.
Notwithstanding our political differences we feel that they had been fighting for the rights of tribal people who are being brutally evicted from their home and hearth at the behest of the big capitalists - foreign and Indian.
The killing of Comrade Kesava Rao is violation of democratic principles and law of the land.
We demand immediate stoppage of all kinds of military operations and starting of negotiations by both sides for peaceful solution in the interest of the tribal and dalit people of the region.
Red Salute to Comrade Kesava Rao and others killed along with him!
Viswam, General Secretary, CPI (ML)
