Five splinter groups of the Communist Party of India Marxist-Leninist will meet either in Andhra Pradesh or Orissa in January 2005 to discuss unification, said Kanu Sanyal, one of the leaders of the naxalbari movement. Addressing a rally after unveiling the statue of the late naxal leader Tarimela Nagi Reddy at Anantapur town in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday, Sanyal said that the revolutionary parties would come together on a single platform at an all-India conference to chalk out an action plan for launching a fight against the central and state governments for their anti-people policies. The participants will also discuss plans to unite all revolutionary parties into one 'CP-ML' unit at the central level.
Sanyal, a close associate of Charu Mazumdar, the founding father of the naxalbari movement that originated in West Bengal in 1967, said that armed struggle was the only means to achieve the revolution to purge the anti-people policies of the government. He said there was no difference between the policies of the National Democratic Alliance and the United Progressive Alliance; both were serving their own interests. The septuagenarian leader accused them of adopting anti-farmer policies instead of solving the problems of farmers and agricultural labourers. The naxal parties will in particular target the central and state governments for promoting the policies of the World Bank and for pandering to multinational corporations, Sanyal said. He said that revisionists were posing a threat to the communist movement in the country. Nagi Reddy's dream would come true only if all revolutionary parties work unitedly for people's welfare, he said. |
