Naxalites Preparing War against Government

The CPI (Maoist) is the largest Left Wing Extremist Organization operating in India. It is responsible for almost 80% of the total naxal violence reported during the current year. The CPI (Maoist) vision for its so called ‘protracted people’s war’ against the Indian State is elucidated in its strategy paper titled ‘Strategy and Tactics of the Indian Revolution’. Briefly stated, this document contains a comprehensive plan of action to capture political power and usher in a so called ‘New Democratic Revolution’ in India. The strategy for ‘New Democratic Revolution’ is a combination of military and political tactics involving the creation of ‘base areas’ (liberated areas) in the countryside and gradual encirclement and capture of the urban areas. This objective is sought to be achieved through armed warfare by the ‘People’s Liberation Guerilla Army’ cadres of the CPI (Maoist), political mobilization through its ‘front organizations’ and alliances with other insurgent outfits active in different parts of India, which in CPI (Maoist) parlance is called the ‘Strategic United Front’. The CPI(Maoist) seeks to organize a ‘joint front’ against the Indian State and in pursuance of this objective, it ideologically supports the secessionist movements in Jammu & Kashmir and the North-East. It has also developed close organizational ties with certain insurgent groups in the North-East for procurement of arms and ammunition.
