New Delhi : The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Tuesday accused the Maoists of killing their party activists working in tribal areas and vowed to fight “their disruptive activities”.
The CPI-M politburo condemned the “brutal killing” of two party activists in Bhadrachalam district of Andhra Pradesh by “a Maoist gang”, and said: “The CPI-M will resolutely fight the Maoists and counter their disruptive activities.”
“The Maoists are targetting the CPI-M wherever they are working in the tribal areas and amongst the rural poor,” the politburo said in a statement here.
The party said the two party activists killed, Kaviti Rajulu and his father, were dragged out from their house in Komanapalli village of Andhra Pradesh and “savagely murdered” by the “Maoist gang”.
“Apart from the killing spree in West Midnapore and adjoining districts in West Bengal, the Maoists in recent months have killed a CPI-M worker in Kanker district in Chhattisgarh and attacked a party office in Sundargarh district in Orissa,” it said.
These violent and murderous activities of the Maoists exposes their true nature, the CPI-M said.
It accused the Maoists of helping “the reactionary forces and the ruling classes by targetting the cadres and workers of the CPI-M belonging to the oppressed classes”.
The politburo also asked the Andhra Pradesh government to “track down the culprits responsible for the murders” in Bhadrachalam district.
