MANGALORE, FEB. 17. The Communist Party of India (Maoist), South Western Regional Bureau, has condemned the alleged "coercive tactics by the State Government" in dealing with the naxalite problem. The party was referring to the Government's decision to file cases against its sympathisers, including balladeer Gaddar, revolutionary writer Varavara Rao and others. In a press release issued here on Thursday by the secretary of the south western regional bureau of CPI (Maoist), Paramesh, the Maoists have accused the Dharam Singh Government of trying to suppress the "growing consciousness and struggle of the people under the leadership of the party." The Governments in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh invite the Maoists for talks only to divert the people's attention from this policy of suppression, the release alleged. "Neither in Karnataka nor in Andhra Pradesh have they implemented any measures to alleviate the sufferings of the workers, peasants, Adivasis, and other oppressed masses. The Rs. 60-crore rehabilitation package is nothing but a package to evict Adivasis from their traditional land and livelihood," the release alleged.
Sympathy
The release said the Maoists sympathised with the families of the seven police personnel who were killed in Pavagada, Tumkur on February 10 following a raid by the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army. "We sympathise with the families of those killed, as many of them were ordinary policemen who joined the police force because they did not have any other alternative for their livelihood." The release appealed to all democrats to "resist the efforts by the Government to curb democratic voices." People's aspirations cannot be suppressed by intimidations and threats and such attempts, the release added.
