Communist Party of India (Maoist)

Central Committee (Provisional)

Press Release:

Date: 04-12-04

Resist and defeat all the evil designs by the Indian Govt. against the
liberation struggle of the Nepal people under the leadership of the
Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)

The congress-led UPA Govt. at the centre has promised all help to
Gyanendra, the king of Nepal. Only a few days back the Union Home
Minister has declared that India will render all assistance to Royal
Nepal Army like supplying all types of military equipment, training RNA
personnel and sealing the border. It’s not difficult to understand the
essence of this statement. The Indian ruling classes are going to
wage an undeclared and deceitful war against the Nepali people and
the people's Liberation army under the leadership of CPN (Maoist).

Actually, the BJP-led NDA Govt. itself wanted to get directly involved
into the affairs of Nepal. But the US Govt., after capturing Iraq, wanted
to deal directly with the affairs in Nepal. They sent many military
advisers to the RNA camps. They were supervising RNA campaigns
against the PLA. The erstwhile NDA Govt. tried its best to intervene a
number of times to interfere into the national liberation struggle led by
LTTE in Sri Lanka. It may be recalled that the Rajiv Gandhi regime
sent so-called peace keeping force in Sri Lanka in 1987 under
agreement with Sri Lanka Govt. Before that Indira Gandhi regime
dismembered Pakistan in 1971 in name of liberating Bangladesh and
wanted to install a puppet govt. there. Latter it annexed Sikim. Only a
few months back the India govt. conducted a campaign inside Bhutan
with the aim of crushing the liberation struggle in Assam under the
leadership of ULFA. For the last one month it has been conducting a
campaign near and within Myanmar border in collaboration with
Myanmar govt. to crush PLA of Manipur. All these show how the
Indian govt. plays the role of a bully to serve the interests of
imperialism and its own class interest in the Indian sub continent.

For the last few years the Nepali people are waging struggle against
the monarchy under the leadership of Maoists with the aim of
establishing a new democratic society. Imperialists and all the
reactionary are fiercely opposing their revolutionary struggle of Nepal.
The CPM, one of the main props of UPA govt. at the centre may show
an apparent opposition to this decision at the all India level. But in
West Bengal, where they are in power, they are not sparing any
chance to play their role in crushing the revolution in Nepal in the
name of opposing 'terrorism'. They have arrested many leaders and
activists of CPN (M) including comrade Mohan Baidya, one of the
topmost leaders in Bengal.

Our CC (P) will mobilize the Indian people in solidarity to the great
revolutionary struggle of the Nepal people against the unjust deeds of
the Indian government. We are confident that if the Indian Govt. dares
to send its mercenary army for suppressing the revolution in Nepal it
will have to incur the same shameful defeat as it had in Sri Lanka in
the 1989. The CC (P) calls upon all the revolutionary and democratic
people of the Indian subcontinent to rise in united struggle against the
expansionist Indian ruling classes and their mercenary army.

The CC (P) calls upon all the revolutionary, democratic, justice and
peace-loving people of India to forcefully oppose Indian Government's
interference into the internal affairs of Nepal.

The CC (P) calls upon the Jawans of the Indian army, who hail from
the toiling classes, not to involve themselves in killing their class
brethren by participating in the unjust military campaign of the Indian
Government.

We call upon the people of South Asia, as well as the entire world
population to rise against and resist the India Govt.’s interference into
the internal affairs of Nepal for protecting the medieval rule of king
Gyanendra, whose hands are soaked with the blood of thousands of
Nepali people.

With Greetings
