HYDERABAD, OCT.14. The leader of the erstwhile CPI (M-L) People's War and the newly-formed CPI (Maoist), Ramakrishna, said that his party will continue the ceasefire if the Government maintained restraint and allowed "democratic atmosphere" in the villages. Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, he said that currently there was no democratic atmosphere in the villages and the Government was trying to "suppress'' the struggles of people. It would be a good outcome if it changed this attitude, snapped ties with the World Bank and distributed surplus land.
`No armed action'
Asked if the former Chief minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, would continue to be on their `hit list,' he said there would not be any armed action during the ceasefire period and the party would expose him by campaigning . "We will not mete out punishment during this period." Stating that their representatives would be going as a delegation of the CPI (Maoist) for the talks with the Government from tomorrow, he said merger of the People's War and the Maoist Communist Centre of India into CPI (Maoist) would not cause any problems for holding the talks. The merger might have "impact" to some extent on the talks and "we will have to see how the Government will receive it," he added.
Main issues
He said the party would continue the "protracted people's war" and the talks process would help in taking the movement forward. Land issue, self reliance, sovereignty would be among the main issues the CPI (Maoist) would be taking up with the Government in the talks. When it was pointed out that Parliament had to pass the Bill for granting Statehood to Telangana, he quipped "let them pass the resolution in the Assembly first." He said a time-frame would be fixed for resolving the issues raised by them during the talks which might continue for four to five days.
