When fierce fighting between the government forces and Maoists is continued since Saturday in some forest areas of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Orissa, the outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoist) issued a startling statement. The party openly expressed solidarity with the Kashmiris fighting for independence from India and demanded holding a plebiscite in Kashmir to decide the fate of Kashmiris.

The Maoist party has called for a strike in six central states of India on September 30 to express solidarity with the Kashmiris and press home the demand for plebiscite in the troubled state where the situation is boiling.

The statement demanded an immediate end to massacres by the armed forces in Kashmir, a complete withdrawal of all military and paramilitary forces, repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act that provided immunity of killing innocent people by the armed forces, plebiscite for Kashmiris and release of all political prisoners.

The Maoist statement, which was made available to the media last Monday, said: “Thursday (Sept 30) will see the Bandh being enforced in six states – Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, in Gadchiroli, Gendia and Chandpur districts of Maharashtra and Balaghat district of Padhya Pradesh.”

It called for shutdown of all rail and road traffic, government and private offices, industries, educational institutions and business establishments.

The plebiscite in Kashmir, a resolution adopted by the United Nations six decades ago but never implemented, is now being raised from within India for the first time. In fact, central politburo of CPI (Maoist) had decided six years ago to support the secessionist movements anywhere in India.

Midnapore district of West Bengal is already under strike for indefinite period. It was called by People’s Committee Against Police Atrocities demanding withdrawal of joint forces. Central Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee supporting PCAPA reiterated her demand on September 25 for withdrawal of Operation Green Hunt from West Bengal.

Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) quoting senior police officers reported that fierce encounters between the joint forces and the red rebels were continuing since Saturday in parts of Bihar. Massive operation was on in Jharkhand and Orissa. Police claimed at least a dozen Maoist rebels and four jawans were killed. They said details were not available as the fighting continued. Several thousand troops of the joint forces aided by helicopter gunship are in anti-Maoist operation. Maoists have detonated at least 13 landmines. Forces camped in houses came under attack. Panchayet building in Bihar was blown up.

In Chhattisgarh, citadel of the Maoist, 7 policemen were abducted on September 19 demanding halt of Operation Green Hunt, stop police atrocities and release of their comrades. As there was no response from the government, three of the abducted policemen were killed after two days. Their bodies were left on roadside attached with Maoist demand and literature. A 48-hour ultimatum was issued for freeing four other policemen if the demands are conceded. A woman relative of a special police officer was also in captivity of the Maoist. The deadline ended Tuesday midnight. It was reported that the government had secret talks with the Maoist. Home Minister of the state said they were considering the Maoist demands. He was hopeful of securing the release of policemen and the woman.

Another report said 78 police personnel of Chhattisgarh have declined posting in the troubled areas to avoid facing the dreaded Maoists, well trained and in possession of sophisticated arms. Those who declined postings included 33 police inspectors.

The Maoists demanded "an immediate end to massacres by the forces in Kashmir [ Images ], a complete withdrawal of all military and paramilitary forces, a repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, a plebiscite for Kashmiris and the release of all political prisoners."

Where is the demand for independent Kashmir? Above demands have been voiced by social activists of all varieties.

Yes it says plebiscite, but before plebiscite to take place, we need to achieve all conditions necessary for plebiscite to occur.

Makes sense why Indian court supports hindu terrorism on mosque
just stating as I see it

Suprised why such statement came up at such a time

Surprised that Courts have given 1/3 land for a mosque on one of the most sacred/holiest place of hinduism - the birth place of Lord Ram.

Thats India and thats secularism for you.:wave:

Useless article.... from someone's personal blog.

Here's the report from Times of India.

Maoists turn into Kashmir sympathizers, call strike


NEW DELHI: In an attempt to show solidarity with protesting Kashmiris who have been demanding "azadi" and attacking security forces, Maoists have called for a 24-hour bandh in six states on September 30.

In a statement dated September 23, the CPI (Maoist) said September 30 will be observed as a bandh in six states — Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa — and also in Gadchiroli, Gondia and Chandrapur districts of Maharashtra and Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh in protest "against the killing of Kashmiri youth by security forces since June 11".

The statement was issued by Abhay, spokesperson fo the central committee, and Anand, central regional bureau spokesperson. The party said there would be a "closedown of all rail and road traffic, banks, government and private offices, industries, educational institutions and business establishments". "We are excluding essential services like hospitals and other services from this bandh call," the statement said.

The statement justified the stone-pelting in Kashmir and called it democratic. It has been a Maoist strategy to join forces with all manner of protests, particularly if they are directed against the state.

In their attempt to gain support from Kashmiris, the party demanded "immediate end to massacres by Indian armed forces in Kashmir, withdrawal of military and paramilitary forces, repeal of AFSPA, plebiscite for Kashmiris and release of all political prisoners".
