INN The Communist Party of India (Marxist) Tripura state committee gives a fervent call to the people and the security forces in Tripura to gear up their ongoing combined combat of insurgency, with a view to mounting pressure on the misguided militants to take recourse of the recently promulgated central Rehabilitation Package, and on the centre to fulfil the states longstanding securitys demand indicated for the recent incidents of successful counter-insurgency operations. Taking stock of the militants frustration fuelled ferocity noticeable during the couple of months, since the last meeting of the state committee, the party feels that is the recent awareness and activism of the people that have been standing as a bulwark against an ethnic orgy into which the Congress, TUJS, TNV, IFPT and Ananda Marg aimed to drive the state during the run-up to the rural polls by sponsoring extremists killing and kidnapping on the one hand and by carrying out road blockades in the affected places on the other.In a statement releases on April 5, following two-day session of the committee, the CPI(M) says that out of those who have been killed during the last two months by the extremists patronised by anti-left front political forces, 11 were tribals, almost each of whom is either CPI(M) member or supporter. In addition, a large number of tribal localities of Amarpur, Udaipur, Belonia , subroom sub-divisions of South Tripura district and Longthorai valley sub-division of Dhalai district, the extremists have carried out large-scale physical torture indiscriminately. All this indicates, the extremists extreme despair and desperation at the tribals recent refusal to fund, feed and hide them on the one hand and cooperation with the security forces on the other, leading to the liquidation of 10 hardcore extremists alongwith the seizure of their fire-arms, and capture of 17 other extremists and 68 of their accomplices by security forces. The party maintains that the last months incident of the killing of 8 NSCN (M) members by security forces, along with capture of some other members of this extremist outfit of Nagaland and seizure of huge cache sophisticated arms and annuities from them, is a glaring vindication of the CPI(M)s persistent pressure on the centre to dispatch adequate para-military to counter the various extremist outfits use of Tripura as a corridor for infiltration into the North East after obtaining arms and training from the neighbouring country and to more effectively counter the extremists marauding inside Tripura. The party views the recently promulgated central Rehabilitation package for surrender of militants as a positive step in the right direction, despite its differences from the package promulgated earlier by the state government while sustaining for a long time a pressure on the centre to launch a comprehensive Rehabilitation package for redemption of the militants from their demand and devastative ways. However, the party urges all section of the peace-loving people of the state to keep up their vigil against the nefarious and inflammatory activities of the Congress, TUJS, TNV, IPFT, Ananda Marg and BJP, and to step up their pressure on the centre for reinforcement of security in the state. The party also calls for a wide spread public campaign in favour of the misguided militants availing of the central Rehabilitation Package promulgated at long last in deference to the states persistent pressure, while at the same time gear up the combined combat of insurgency by people and security forces. Finally, the CPI(M) urges the state administration and the mass-organisations to galvanise themselves for tackling the recent drought situation in the area by speedily implementing the specific steps taken by the Left Front government, urges all the committees of the party to take from right now, a massive politico-organisational endeavour to foil the mischievous moves of the vested interests to capture the panchayats in the sponsoring polls, and urges all democratic minded people of the state to make resounding success, the mass movement programme from April 12 to May 12, called by the National Platform of Mass Organisations for a charter of country-wide demands and to protest against the pro-imperialist economic policy of the centre. |
