The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (CPI-Maoist) called on the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), organs of political power and all revolutionary people to celebrate the Party’s 18th anniversary in the countryside and cities from September 21- 27 this year.

The CPI (Maoist) was established on September 21, 2004 after the Communist Party of India (Marxist -Leninist) merged with the People’s War and Maoist Communist Center of India.

Last year, the Party, PLGA and the Strategic and Tactical United Front’s continued efforts to carry out their duties amid the enemy’s severe fascist attacks. Important achievements include the relative development in fields of ideology, political education, military training, expansion of organs of political power and launching of mass struggles. Political organs strive to reach the district level to put into place the seeds of alternative development model.

Like the rest of the world, the fascist Hindutva Modi government has promoted globalization policies and has made the country reliant on capitalist system. It has normalized repression of the people’s democratic rights. In turn, the oppressed classes, sectors and national minorities are ready to wage class struggle as long as oppression, pressure and discrimination prevail.

Amid of all this, it is a challenge for the Central Committee of the Indian Party to develop the class struggle and mass struggles and advance along the path of protracted people’s war.
