Press Release

Representing a new era of rebellion against the exploitation and oppression of feudalism and imperialism for the emancipation of Nepal and Nepalese people, the people’s war initiated under the leadership of the CPN (Maoist), the glorious representative of Nepalese proletariat, after completing its ten years, has entered into the eleventh one on February 13, today. This people’s uprising of one decade has not only unfolded multi-dimensional and far-reaching impact but also has provided a new momentum of study, debate and inspiration for the masses fighting against the exploitation, oppression, intervention and terror of the globalized imperialism, mainly the US imperialism. This great people’s war that has been playing a decisive role in the process of organizing the Nepalese society in a republican mode by completely destroying feudalism, about 250 years old, is significantly contributing to creating a new wave of the world revolution by ideologically developing MLM in the twenty-first century. Definitely, this great journey of ten years is advancing, not in a straight line like the entire revolutions of the world history, but going across turns, twisters and catastrophes, today, thousands of best sons and daughters of the Nepalese people have sacrificed their lives to raise our party up to this height of a decisive political force in Nepal and people’s war as a source of inspiration for the laboring masses all over the world, thousands are irrigating this process by becoming wounded and handicapped, and thousands of fighters and lakhs of the masses are confronting terrible condition of untold torture, deadly custody and disappearance. In this historic moment, when the people’s war, completing its ten years, has ascended to an unequaled height, first of all, on behalf of the central committee, offering red salute, I would like to pay emotional homage to the entire great and immortal martyrs of the people’s war, the main claimants of this historic contribution. In this occasion, extending revolutionary greetings to the entire wounded and disabled of the people’s war, I would like to wish for quick recovery in health and enduring participation and progress in their journey for revolution. In addition, I wish for quick release, along with revolutionary greetings, to the entire fighters who by facing enemy’s jail, nail and torture have been blazing the fire of revolution. In this historic day of the Eleventh Anniversary, our party, along with heartily greetings, expresses militant solidarity with the entire pro-people institutions, organizations and the broad masses that have raised voice in support of emancipation, in and outside of the country. 

Today, the Nepalese society is advancing ahead towards the last juncture of its transition to republic from the absolute feudalism. A tiny coterie of moribund feudal elites is exhibiting its last stupidity of unleashing the reign of terror with the force of its traditional military gang upon the 25 million Nepalese people and the world opinion. In order for building an environment, in which the aspiration of democracy and peace of the Nepalese people could be fulfilled peacefully without a big loss of lives and property, our party, in the dawn of the eleventh anniversary of the people’s war, had declared a unilateral ceasefire and had even built up, during this period, a 12-point understanding with the major parliamentarian political parties of the country. On the contrary, the criminal gang of feudal elites, who do not share even a slight of responsibility towards the country and people, not only mistrusted it but continued making it a matter of laugh and shame for the civilized people in the twenty-first century by imprisoning thousands of democracy-loving people and staging a drama of election within the army camps. The insanity of Gyanendra Shahi, who oddly underrated the living reality, in which the wave of people’s higher level of military and peaceful resistance was going on, as isolated events, has surprised the world opinion. How a tiny clique of feudal and its traditional hoodlum, the “Royal Army” has been able to sustain despite of all-round opposition of the people in and outside of the country? The question is very serious and notable. Based on the experiences of history and the present course of events, our party has concluded that, despite of crocodile tears, the US imperialism, the ringleader of world imperialism, has its hand in helping sustain the military terror of feudal murderers. These feudal murderers are carrying out stupid crimes of this kind against the aspiration of democracy and peace of the Nepalese people by means of the patronage and encouragement of the military commanders of the Bush clique of the US ruling class that in the name of war against terrorism has been erecting a reign of terror upon the world masses. Taking advantage of the geo-political situation of Nepal, the imperialist interest and conspiracy of grabbing a hold over billions of people of China, India and South Asia, is working from behind this kind of patronage and encouragement. The instruction that the so-called commander of the Asia Pacific command of the US army, coming to Nepal, had provided to Gyanendra Shahi to strengthen the so-called Ranger Force (Commando) against the Nepalese people clarifies this fact further. Grasping this reality seriously, our party has been labeling the “royal” army as the US army since some years before. We would like to make a whole-hearted and special appeal, in this historic occasion, to the pro-people forces in Nepal, China, India, South Asia and the world to further necessary initiative in support of democracy and peace by paying serious attention to the grave consequence behind this.

In spite of the aforesaid situation, our party believes that none will now be able to prevent the success of the democratic movement of Nepalese people, who are conscious to their democratic right. The hidden support of the US military commander at the moment, when a great campaign of the Nepalese people for establishing competitive democracy that aims at institutionalizing the right of all the masses of oppressed class, nationality, region and sex by holding constituent assembly election and reorganizing the state power, which has already gained support from the world opinion and international community, will not be able to help survive the Gyanendra Shahi clique. It is definite that the upcoming thrust of the Nepalese people will lead the feudalism to an end and a new chapter of democracy, peace and progress in Nepal will begin. Therefore, our party forcefully appeals the 7 political parties, civil society, and the entire intelligentsia to come forward with no delay to bring in a common slogan, a common front and a common program in this decisive and sensitive moment of the history. That kind of slogan, front and program will prepare for a model of the people's parallel government against military terror of the absolute feudal elements. We believe that this kind of people's government will gain international support and help from the entire pro-democracy and pro-people forces. What we do believe is that this kind of common slogan, front, program and declaration of the government will completely obliterate Gyanendra Shahi and its tiny feudal coterie, and Nepal will go ahead towards the direction of peace and prosperity with a republican state structure. The reality that we are prepared to be flexible, as it necessitates, for the fulfillment of this goal has already been made clear before and, in this occasion, we would like to clarify that conviction further. We also believe that right after a concrete process of this kind advances, the reorganization of military force in Nepal will not become a difficult and complex issue.

Finally, I would like to appeal to all class, nationality, region, sex, and especially the youths associated with all the political parties, to institutionalize forever the aspiration of democracy, peace and progress of the Nepalese people by grasping the reality that no absolute feudalism will be destroyed without correct fusion of peaceful and military resistance. Only a new army of democracy and peace, with youth thunder, will ascertain the progress of new Nepal.

Cease-fire Called-off

Press statement

The period of one month's ceasefire extended after three months, on the behalf of our party, has also been over. Our party would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to the entire pro-democracy and pro-peace forces who have welcomed and supported the ceasefire, in and outside of the country, for it has taken up a responsible initiative for a peaceful and forward-looking political way out for the civil war with the conviction of multiparty democracy. In the meantime, a 12-point understanding between our party and seven parliamentarian political parties, for a movement of democracy and peace, has been achieved and the people have ratified this. Amid this, our party has carried out very positive interaction on our understanding and conviction towards democracy and peace with different international institutions, organizations and forces including the UNO and a number of understandings have been built around it.

As a result of the aforesaid new situation, extensive requests had been made from in and outside of the country to the feudal autocratic royal power to return back to democracy and peace with a positive response to the ceasefire. But, the royal state, exhibiting terrible feudal obstinacy and totalitarianism, remained stuck in persevering with military terror against the country and people. The royal army that had been killing unarmed cadres in its custody in the different places of the country including Palpa and Morang during the first three months killed, at the last phase, up to comrade Kim Bahadur Thapa (Sunil), a popular leader of our party by an air attack. In the later one-month period, the so-called royal army, exhibiting more fascist character, at the last, going through Nagarkot massacre, has been adventuring to maintain a reign of terror against the people in the name of military operation in Rolpa, and barbarous acts like looting of people's shops and blazing houses are being carried on. In the same manner, the royal army has already come forward with a strategy of carrying out land and air attack by encircling the detachments of our People's Liberation Army, which has been in a defensive situation all across the country now.

This ground reality clarifies our obligation that we have to go into offensive, by calling off ceasefire, not only for people's democracy and peace against the feudal autocracy but also for the self-defense of the People's Liberation Army. We deeply understand and honour the appeal made by the institutions including the UNO and EU to extend the ceasefire. Likewise, we also understand and admire the request made by peace-loving institutions within the country and Nepali Congress (Democratic), one of the constituents of agitating seven political parties, in the context of its convention, to extend the ceasefire. But, in the backdrop of aforesaid fascistic new activities of the royal army, we request to take seriously the reality that it has been not only impossible for us to extend, despite our wish, the ceasefire but also is going to become suicidal to do so and appeal to all to raise voice forcefully against this situation. With this appeal, we declare that the ceasefire of our party has been called off.    

What we want to clarify here is that our forthcoming military actions will be targeted against the autocratic royal power only. For an immediate sense, our military actions will be targeted upon the royal army and its hired informers that are going to stage a drama of so-called municipality election aimed at covering up their autocracy. Also we want here to repeat our conviction that we will assist as far as possible the peaceful movement of seven political parties and contribute to advancing forward the 12-point understanding to our capacity. Here we want also to clarify that if the process of making the people sovereign through the election of interim government and constituent assembly by means of a broad national political convention or round table conference is ascertained, our party will remain prepared to contribute for a peaceful political way out by calling off ceasefire at any point. But, if the terrorist acts of the autocratic feudal elements like Gyanendra-Paras and their military gang that had brought the last negotiation to a break by means of the Dorambha massacre and call off of the present ceasefire by Rolpa operation continue we would like to repeat our determination to continue fighting till the end in favor of Nepal and Nepalese people. In the present context when, Nepalese people's emancipation has been seen impossible without raising guns against those of feudal autocracy, there is no other alternative than creating a storm of peaceful and armed movement. Therefore, our party strongly appeals the broad masses to unite with the goal of wiping out forever the feudal autocratic monarchy for the sake of democracy, peace and progress. Right to rebel against the feudal atrocity is the biggest human right of the Nepalese people at present. Hence, we appeal the UNO, international community and the world masses to honour and support this right.

Press Statement

Our whole Party, People’s Liberation Army and masses of the people have been shocked by the news of martyrdom of comrade Kim Bahadur Thapa (Sunil), the ex-member of our CC, division commander of the PLA and a popular leader of Rolpa, caused by blind firing from helicopters of the so-called royal army upon the cadres of PLA, who were taking political training on the new decisions of Party centre, the agreement reached with political parties and the ceasefire, at Jinabang in Rolpa, bordering Salyan, at 5 PM in the evening yesterday. In addition to comrade Kim Bahadur Thapa, Comrade Nirmam, another promising youth from Salyan and a battalion vice-commander of the PLA, has also been martyred from that blind firing. The royal killers, who were forced to flee away from Gurassay, Salyan facing PLA’s resistance in the afternoon, had carried out that severe crime in the evening at Rolpa. Our party, condemning this cowardice crime of Gyanendra Shahi and his goons with hatred and wrath, and declaring them great martyrs, who sacrificed their lives to materialize the aspiration of democracy and peace of the Nepalese people, pays emotional homage to them. Along with this, our party expresses heartfelt condolence to their bereaved family members.

The feudal autocratic elements are stepping up provocative activities of killing, disappearing and terrorizing the unarmed cadres to disrupt the three-months ceasefire our party had declared in favour of democracy and peace, like they had, by designing Dorambha Massacre during the last negotiation, played a role to disrupt dialogue. In the particular context of today, when the period of ceasefire is going to end and we are inclined to extend it further, when an agreement has been reached among political parties towards the direction of democracy and peace and when our party is very seriously and flexibly enhancing interaction with different international organizations, institutions and forces, the autocratic feudal elements are intensifying military terror all across the country. The murder of comrade Kim Bahadur Thapa and comrade Nirmam is the latest link of this terror. These incidents have further clarified the fact that the feudal palace and its backers are not in favour of democratic way out and peace but are in favour of idiotic adventure to defend their autocracy by slaughtering the Nepalese people.

At this moment of anguish, our party would like repeat its determination to going forward more firmly and responsibly in order to fulfil the aspiration of democracy and peace of the Nepalese people. Our great party will never deviate from its historical duty by such provocative activities of the feudal murderers. At this sensitive moment of Nepalese history, our party appeals all the political parties, civil societies, intelligentsias and the broad masses to create a storm of united movement in order to change Nepal into a democratic, peaceful and prosperous country by wiping out the medieval feudal autocracy forever. A handful of feudal murderers will never be able to stop people’s historical initiative and the fall of autocracy and people’s victory is definite. Our party, in this occasion, heartily appeals the pro-people political forces, organizations, institutions and justice-loving masses the world over to raise voice and line with Nepalese people more broadly by divorcing relation of all kinds with the autocratic feudal old state, which has become a scourge against the aspiration of democracy and peace of the Nepalese people. Nepal is at the threshold of democratic republic. No dictators will be able to stop its victory.

12- Poist Understanding Between Maoist and Parties Made Public

Twelve-point understanding between Maoists and Parties

The long struggle between absolute monarchy and democracy in Nepal has now reached a very grave and new turn. Establishing peace by resolving the 10-year old armed conflict through a forward-looking political outlet has become the need of today. Therefore, implementing the concept of absolute democracy through a forward-looking restructuring of the state has become an inevitable need to solve the problems related to class, caste, gender, region etc of all sectors including political, economic, social and cultural, bringing autocratic monarchy to an end and establishing absolute democracy. We make public that, against this existing backdrop and reference in the country, the following understanding has been reached between the seven parliamentary parties and the CPN (Maoist) through different methods of talks.

1. At present all Nepalese desire peace, democracy, prosperity, social progress and independent and sovereign Nepal. To achieve this goal, we fully agree that the autocratic monarchy is the main obstacle. We are in clear agreement that peace and prosperity of the country is quite impossible without ending autocracy and establishing absolute democracy. Hence, all anti-regressive forces have come to an agreement to focus their attack against the autocratic monarchy independently, and bring it to an end by intensifying the ongoing democratic movement across the country.

2. The seven-party alliance is fully convinced that sovereignty and executive right of the people can be reestablished through the reinstatement of parliament on the basis of people’s movement; formation of all-party government with full executive power; talks with the Maoists and election to the constituent assembly. Whereas CPN-M believes that people’s sovereignty can be established through formation of an interim government formed after a national conference of agitating democratic forces, which will oversee the election to the constituent assembly. Both of us agree to continue negotiation and dialogue to reach common agreement in these procedural issues. However, we have agreed that people’s movement is the only way to attain our agreed goals.

3. The nation has demanded constructive end of the present armed conflict and establishment of a lasting peace. Thus, we are fully committed to end autocratic monarchy and establish lasting peace through election to constituent assembly. In this regard, the CPN-M expresses its commitment to move into new peaceful political line. After bringing the autocratic monarchy to an end, we have agreed that the arms of both the Maoist's armed dorce bd the royal army will be supervised by the United Nations or a dependable international body to ensure free and fair election to the constituent assembly. Both parties have also agreed to accept the results of the elections. We also expect an involvement of a credible international community in the dialogue process.

4. CPN-M has expressed commitment to acceptance of competitive multiparty system, fundamental rights of the people, human rights, and rule of law and democratic principles and values and to act accordingly.

5. CPN-M has agreed to create conducive atmosphere to allow all leaders and cadres affiliated to other democratic forces and common people, who were displaced from home during the conflict, to return to their respective places with full respect. The Maoists have also agreed to return the houses and physical properties of people and party cadres seized unjustifiably. People will be allowed to take part in political activities without any hindrance.

6. CPN-M has also agreed to criticize itself for its past mistakes and has expressed commitment not to repeat them in future.

7. Parties will criticize themselves on their past mistakes (when they were on Parliament and government) and they have expressed commitment not to repeat such mistakes in future.

8. During the peace process human rights principles and freedom of press will be fully respected.

9. The municipal and parliamentary polls which have been pushed forward with the malicious intention of deceiving people and the international community, and to legitimize the king’s autocratic and unconstitutional rule will be boycotted and made unsuccessful.

10. People, representatives of people and political parties are the real bulwark of nationalism. We are committed to protecting our independence, national unity and sovereignty, and safeguarding geographical integrity. It is our responsibility to maintain cordial relationship with all nations in the world–especially with our neighbors, India and China– based on the principle of peaceful co-existence. We appeal to all patriotic Nepalis to be wary of the Mandale brand of nationalism preached by the monarch and his sycophants to protect their rule and interest. We also appeal to the Nepali people and international community to provide help to our Loktantrik movement.

11. We also appeal to all people, civil society members, professional communities, various sister organizations, journalists and intellectuals to participate actively in the people’s peaceful movement launched under the common agreement based on democracy, peace, prosperity, social transformation, and the nation’s sovereignty.

12. The parties and Maoists have also agreed to probe into past incidents and take action against the guilty. In future, if any problem occurs among political parties, the concerned high level leaders shall discuss and settle the issues amicably through dialogue.

Interview With Comrade Prachanda

Comrade Chairman, why did you declare unilateral cease-fire all of a sudden?

To create environment in both the national and international level for a forward-looking political way out, to inspire the seven political parties to come in cooperation by clarifying their immediate slogan, to reinforce the movement of civil society, to increase political intervention upon the old state and to consolidate party’s relation with the broad masses by honouring their sentiment and aspiration etc. are the main motivating reasons behind the declaration of cease-fire. 

The royal state has its own military. How will the ceasefire declared without its agreement succeed?

In our opinion, the development of the events of 3/4 days has justified the correctness of political intervention against the old state, the purpose with which the ceasefire was declared. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the important aspect of the psychological war against the royal army underlies in this ceasefire. To prove that the royal army is not in support of peace and way out from a new height is not less significant.

Royal state is speaking the language of repression. Does not this ceasefire become counter-productive in the situation when the parliamentarian seven political parties have not been able to come unitedly with a concrete program?

In my opinion, no question of it being counter-productive arises for its correctness lies in exposing worldwide the fascist character of the royal state and inspiring to change the vacillating and unclear character of parliamentarian seven political parties. Concretely speaking, the ceasefire has already played that role within 3/4 days.

Now, some rumour is spreading out that the ceasefire can be a respite for the royal state in the situation when the party is now acquiring military successes!

The political intervention that has been made by stepping at the footing of military success has never become a respite to the old state. None, who has seriously observed and understood the historical reality that the key of the development of Nepalese people’s war lies with the appropriate coordination of political and military intervention, can have such kind of talk. It is also necessary here to pay attention to the strategy of active defence, offend when attacked, of People’s Liberation Army.

What would you do if the royal government also by declaring ceasefire calls on you for a dialogue? Is it that you won’t have a dialogue in any case with the government?

Right now, we are not seeing any possibility and justification of dialogue with the royal government. If it makes such declaration and put forward clearly that it is ready to provide opportunity for the people to decide their fate then there can be dialogue in agreement of political parties and civil society. We are never absolute to talk with the aim of providing total right to the people.

There was an outside propaganda that an especial agenda on Nepal would be tabled in the general assembly of the United Nations and Gyanendra would participate in that. Is not this ceasefire declared aiming at influencing the forthcoming convention of the United Nations?

Definitely, there lies an objective of clarifying doubts remaining within different sections in the world on our party politics and exposing the old feudal power. But, it was not declared with the prime objective of influencing the forthcoming convention of the United Nations.

You have said in your statement that all from the UNO to the main neighbour and entire international community are showing concern on the present situation in Nepal from their own angle and are presenting their own kind of solution to the problem. Would you please clarify it further?

I think, the international concern, move and anxiety that is being shown on the present Nepalese civil war is known to and endured by all. Also it is not hidden that some of the power-centres are working with the strategy of isolating our movement by creating an alliance between king and the parliamentarian parties, some of them are working with the strategy of making the king agree with constitutional monarchy by creating a pressure of cooperation to a certain limit between our party and the parliamentarian parties, where as some of them are in favour of a real democracy and peace in Nepal. In this very context, it has been clarified in the statement that none can deny some of the elements are not trying to gain from by declaring Nepal a failed State. The essence of the aforesaid saying in the statement is to make the Nepalese people further clear by clarifying the reality that all of the international communities have no unified standpoint.

A short time before, India was very much offensive towards you and the previous CC meeting had raised the danger of Indian expansionism. Now, how has been the role of India?

Following the step of February 1, 2005, the fact is open that the discord and contradiction to a certain extent between the king of Nepal and the Indian ruling class has increased. In spite of class unity, today’s necessity is to try to use the contradiction emerged between them in favour of the democratic aspiration of the Nepalese people.

Comrade Chairman, the propaganda like, you declared ceasefire after meeting the foreign minister of India and according to India’s suggestion, is coming from the media of royal government. What is truth, would you clarify?

Nothing can be proved from such propaganda excepting that our declaration of ceasefire caused the brain of royal ringleaders to disfigure. The misinformation of the national betrayers that are killing the best sons and daughters, who love the national integrity and sovereignty of the country more than they do for their life, is nothing other than the excuse to hide their defeat. The fact that who is sensitive and responsible and who is criminal towards the interest of Nepal and Nepalese people is clear as daylight. The feudal palace’s move that the patriotic Nepalese people can be confused by planned misinformation has been too old. Nepalese people have been able to identify their real friend and foe. I challenge the lackeys of the feudal palace to prove that I met with any of the authorities of the Indian government and the ceasefire was declared according to their plan. This kind of misinformation can never save the feudal elements standing in the palisade to get thrown into the garbage can. 

Will this ceasefire lead to a concrete result in the situation when, though objectively necessary, the dialogue and cooperation between the Maoist and seven political parties has not yet taken a concrete shape?

The decision the seven political parties took on the next day of our declaration clarifies the fact that our declaration of ceasefire has motivated them to go forward to the direction of taking concrete decision. But, because of vacillating, unclear and collaborationist stance of some of the leaders of the seven political parties, how resolutely they should have taken initiative and decision has not been observed. Nevertheless, we are optimistic that they will come forward with the passing of time.

Comrade Chairman, had this ceasefire been declared by having discussion with seven parliamentarian parties? Was this ceasefire declared to resolve the complexity arisen between the forces waging armed struggle and the peaceful movement?

The present decision of ceasefire has been taken based on our party’s political analysis not by having discussion with anyone else. It is not also true that this declaration has been done to resolve the complexity between peaceful and armed struggle. What is true has been said before.

Can the political movement against the feudal autocracy reach to its climax now? How much optimistic you are towards the possibility of a forward-looking political way out in the near future?

Nepal, in her political history, is in a serious turning point. In the immediate sense, the country can have a forward move only through people’s victory against the feudal power. We, on our behalf, are making efforts to make the people’s movement victorious by utilizing both the tactics of firmness and flexibility maximally as necessitates. The feudal autocratic monarchy has been in political isolation and confined within people’s encirclement from all sides. In this turning point of the history, it is necessary for all of us to push on. What is necessary here is to make ineffective the strategy of some of the international power centres and mainly the United States of America, which does not want this political way out to take place under the leadership of a revolutionary party, is another point to pay attention to.

All have raised the question of democracy. In fact, what kind of democratic republic you mean?

The democratic republic, which we are saying, is the transitional republic that can address the problems related to class, nationality, region and sex in today’s Nepal. Transitional means, it is a republic in between new democratic republic and parliamentary republic with Nepalese specificity.  

What is Party’s opinion on the new decisions of the N.C. and UML?

Objectively our party has taken the NC’s decision to remove constitutional monarchy from their party constitution and go ahead for constituent assembly and the UML’s decision that they could go up to democratic republic through constituent assembly as positive and advanced ones, whatever be the reasons subjectively.

How are you looking at the role the civil society is playing now?

In the political movement in Nepal, the civil society has been playing a very important role since the period of anti Panchayat movement. The political clarity and mass mobilisation that is taking place under the initiative of intellectual personalities, including Devendra Raj Pandey, the civil society has become an imitable inspiration for the political parties. In this sense, we have high regard to the role of civil society.

For a party in war, the military success becomes a pressure against the enemy. Now, is not there any possibility of the Party being cornered because of the ceasefire? How much is there the possibility of conspiracy from different internal and external power-centres?

We must never understand the political and military intervention in an absolute sense. If military support for every political intervention and political correctness of every military success could not be justified the movement can fall prey to the conspiracies of national and foreign reactionary powers. We must never forget this salient particularity of Nepalese people’s war of ten years. Enemy’s business is always to conspire. The coordination of military and political intervention is unavoidable to make such kinds of conspiracies ineffective. In this sense, the present declaration of ceasefire is pushing the reactionaries into corner not us.

How possible you see to make the parliamentarian party confront against you by the palace fulfilling their demand of parliament?

Although the palace can move that pawn of conspiracy but right now it has not been imminent. Therefore, we have been appealing the parliamentarian parties to come forward directly to the interim government and constituent assembly for their slogan of reinstatement of parliament has already been outdated and turned to be a weapon for the palace to play.

What is the situation of inner-struggle within the party? Has it gone to the direction of resolution?

The problem of unhealthy inner-struggle has already been resolved. Healthy inner-struggle is the party life so it continues uninterruptedly.

A joint statement of Ganapathy, the general secretary of CPI (Maoist), and yours has come out. How will the communist movement in the region and the world go ahead?

Ideologically, we are confident on the fact that a new wave of revolution in South Asia and the world is coming up. Our joint statement with comrade Ganapathy is the expression of that identical ideological conviction.
