[Naxalite Maoist India] Operation Green Hunt and Cobra Propoganda Videos


The MHA has released several propaganda videos about the COBRA battalions,their training and operations last week. Two of them which appeared in news channels have been posted below.

Embedded with commandos of Operation Green Hunt

It's only recently that the Indian government has started to appreciate the scale and complexity of the Naxal problem. More than Pakistan, its Naxal guerillas who keep the government on the edge these days -- because following on Mao's footsteps, these rebels want to overthrow the Indian government - and they are pretty serious about the task.

Till recently considered as mare security nuisance, (who occasionally indulged in violence) Naxals over the last five years have grown dramatically in numbers and strength-- and so have the killings.

After many security personnel were butchered across the nation -- the government decided to crack the whip and launch 'Operation Green Hunt' as a decisive push against the left wing ultras. 'Inside the Red Bastion' takes a rare peek into how anti -- naxal operations are conducted by the Indian Government in the dense and dangerous forests of Dantewada in Central India. How men, machinery and training is woefully short to tackle the Naxals, who are getting better by the day -- in handling weapons and war strategy.

Headlines Today (in a first for a TV channel) managed to embed itself with a crack team of commandos and venture into the Chhattisgarh forests -- the same area where hundreds of security force personnel have been butchered in the past months (Infact the team itself missed being attacked by a whisker)

The documentary compares the training of security forces and Naxlas, exposes the terrain advantage that the Naxals have and suggests what India can do to win this war within -- a war its fighting against its own peole.

Special Show of COBRA's Operation X-95. COBRA (Acronym for Commando Battalion for Resolute Action) is a specialized unit of the CRPF created to counter the Naxalite problem in India.

This specialized CRPF unit is one of the only units of the Central Armed Police Forces in the country who are specifically trained in guerilla warfare. This elite fighting unit has been trained to track, hunt and eliminate small Naxalite groups.

Cobra has been set up with a grant of 1300 crore (13 billion) rupees from the Central government. They have been armed as a regular infantry platoon with INSAS rifles, AK rifles, X-95, Browning Hi-Power and Glock pistols, Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns and Carl Gustav recoilless rifle..

[Naxalite Maoist India] Sabyasachi Panda's Letter and CPI Maoist Politburo Response

The full letter containing Sabyasachi Panda's accusations against the CPI(Maoist) leadership is not available on-line but some extracts have been reported in the news media. This criticism is presented below along with the press release issued by the CPI(Maoist) expelling him.

Extracts from Sabyasachi Panda's Letter 

Panda, 43, wrote two letters on June 1 to CPI(Maoist) general secretary Muppala Laxaman Rao alias Ganapathy, politburo members Prashant Bose alias Sumit, Narayan Sanyal alias Vijay, and other Maoist cadres. It is not clear if they reached their intended recipients.

"As I have not got proper democracy to discuss or write the political opinion... and as there is no scope for an immediate solution of our long-standing problems, I would like to write this," Panda said in the letters, running into 39 pages and accessed by The Indian Express. Excerpts:

Replication
"People in Bihar may need one armed organisation in their struggle to face armed gangs of landlords. But for riot-affected people of Orissa or for the people of Lalgarh, we should not copy the form of organisation and form of struggle mechanically as per our subjective wishes... One democratic revolution cannot end all types of small and big exploitations from any society."

Senseless violence
"When everybody is carrying mobiles in hand, we can't influence people by blasting towers everyday. From 2000 up to now I have been witnessing so many unnecessary annihilations in Orissa... We can stamp anybody as an informer and kill him with our gunpowder without responsibility to convince the people for our action! This is our revolutionary birthright.

"...Jagabandhu Majhi [BJD MLA] was annihilated in 2011 by Chhattisgarh comrades. He was a person who had been moving in a wheelchair, a handicapped person. He had been threatened by our people for two years. Out of fear, he contacted me and wanted to surrender. Simply he was killed... Just after the unification of the erstwhile People's War and the MCC, the comrades of the erstwhile MCC annihilated five or six villagers in Jujumara [Orissa]. The cause of annihilation was just like our all-time formal statements that they are informers.

"In 2009, when politburo member Basavraj [Namballa Keshava Rao] visited our area, he made some comments on other politburo members such as Kishenji. 'He is not doing anything, not killing a single policeman, and giving statements'. As if killing police is the one and only job for a revolutionary."

No alternative policies
"Yes, we have to fight against exploitation, but what is your special policy for a new democratic government in tribal areas? Your Janatana Sarkar is not the tribal autonomy body [nor is it] government by traditional tribal rules, even partially. You are destroying tribal culture for your selfishness. You have no alternative agricultural, industrial, medical and educational policies."

No democracy
"Leaders think [of themselves] as masters and cadres have no courage to oppose the leaders' mistakes... The policy in practice is to suppress or eliminate the opposing voice by force, either inside the party or outside in society. In a meeting of the Basdhara and Ghumsar divisional committees, central committee member Bhaskar [alias Modem Balakrishna] in the presence of member Chetan suspended member Chalapati saying that "in a communist party, for faults of a party member, we may suspend, expel and if needed can kill him/her(marne ki saaja bhi de sakte). Even innocent people may be killed sometimes for revolution...

"Only yes-men and good boys/girls of leaders are promoted. In the name of promotion, a type of feudal democracy, similar to that of the fascist RSS, prevailed in this party."

Rules & theories
"Now it has become a common rule to issue blades to all boys and girls for shaving [their private parts]. Dandakaranya cadres have accepted this as a party rule, just like using only Lifebuoy and Rin soaps, Timex watches and Action shoes.... And it is also said that in the place for bathing, all should bathe without [wearing] clothes. What is the relation of a revolution to such stupid theories?

"...Oriya cadres are dissuaded from taking sugar in their food with the advice that it would cause diabetes. You can take as much mirchi and tamarind as you like, but are not allowed to mix sugar in your tamarind water, and you can't eat onion as a substitute... If we use Margo soap for squad members instead of Lifebuoy, central committee members such as Basavraj will comment on us."

No accounting
"Financial anarchy is a common trend in the party. AOB [Andhra-Orissa border] cadre Binoy accumulated money from various sources before he surrendered. In the party there is no fair accounting system. So many Dandankaranya cadres and main-force activists are expending money as per their wish and giving a round account... 'Rs 10,000 we have done expenditures'. Bengal comrade Ashok did not give accounts of Rs 15 lakh. All these are symptoms of wrong trends that we are promoting from above.

Partiality
"Our AOB leaders always tried to treat the Orissa committee as subordinates. They never want to develop one independent Orissa revolutionary struggle... Commanders of Dandakaranya and Andhra-Orissa Border are giving regular irrelevant interviews as they wish. In 2009, a resolution was adopted that without a decision I should not give any interview."

Minority policy
"As per the new theory of central committee members, Christianity is the main obstacle before building a revolutionary organisation. Central committee member Manoj said Christianity is an organised religion... and so for any organised revolutionary work it will become an obstacle... Left sectarian friends of AOB distributed a leaflet against Christianity in Srikakulam... Later, AOB cadres and squads who were Christian were removed from that area... When Christian people organised around us, politburo members such as Basabraj started advising us to write in circulars and pamphlets that 'Christianity is not the solution to people's problems'."

Other Accusations by Sabyasachi Panda

In an audio message issued late on Sunday night the senior Maoist leader said the party's decision to expel him comes seven months after he and his supporters had severed all ties with it, and a month after he had announced the formation of a new outfit called the Odisha Maovadi Party (OMP).

The CPI-Maoist party had, in a four-page press release on Friday, announced the expulsion of Sabyasachi Panda for indulging in opportunism, anti-party activities and for being a 'renegade'. The 16-page letter, addressed to the party general secretary Ganapathy, also dismissed the serious allegations brought by Panda against the party leadership.

In a 5-minute long audio message Panda has accused the party of following anti-tribal, anti-minorities and anti-people policies and condemned the party's growing dependence on the politics of eliminating individuals without any justifiable reasons. He has blamed a section of the party's leadership, especially those from the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, for the 'degeneration' that has set in within the party. He has specifically named party's central committee member Modem Balkrishna alias Manoj for conspiring against him and trying to impose a number of unacceptable decisions on the Odisha party cadres.

"They have killed activists and workers from the SUCI, CITU, CPI-ML and even ordinary people without any justifiable reasons. I have been critical of their politics of murder and acts that spreads terror. We were not willing to play slaves to a party that denies internal democracy and works against the interests of the people," the audio message said.

Panda has also alleged that the Maoist leaders are collecting huge amount of money from corporates who are displacing the local people for their industries despite a party decision not to seek funds from such private operators. "It was the anti-people and sectarian politics of the party that had forced us to go for a rethink and we finally decided to move away from the party," he said in the message, adding he had decided to expose the wrongdoings in the party in November 2011 after he was placed under 'party arrest' for about three months on the basis of false charges by intolerant and narrow-minded leaders.

Panda has ruled out any possibility of any kind of armed conflict with the CPI-Maoist factions opposed to him and said he and his associates will continue with their work for the poor and oppressed people in Ganjam, Gajapati, Rayagada and Kandhamal districts where they have been serving the poor and oppressed people since 1995.

Panda has dismissed allegations that he had leaked the content of his long letter to the central committee members of the party and said the police had intercepted it while it was on its way from Kolkata to a jailed party leader.

In his message Panda has said the CPI-Maoist party is moving along a self-destructive path and that it would perish unless it reviews its anti-people policies, admits its mistakes and takes corrective action. "We would welcome it even if we are no longer a part of the party," he said.

Significantly, Sabyasachi Panda has not given any indication at all about the possibility of his surrender or return to mainstream politics, something that has been the subject of wide speculations ever since reports of his differences with top CPI-Maoists appeared in the media.

Press statement of CPI(Maoist) on Sabyasachi Panda is given below  



Sabyasachi  Panda,  the secretary  of our Odisha  State  Organizing  Committee  released  a 16-page  letter addressed to the General Secretary of our party, Comrade Ganapathy to the media on 14-07-2012. In cahoots with the ruling classes he spit venom on the CPI (Maoist) and the revolutionary movement led by it and hurled several baseless, sham allegations and fabricated lies. He released this letter with the evil intention of liquidating the party and the revolutionary  movement,  discarded  the ideology  of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and left the vanguard party of the proletariat.  He openly declared  that he is completely  disassociating  himself from the People's War line and revolutionary  practice  and exposed  his modern  revisionist  face. In the most abominable,  crooked  and conspiratorial  manner he betrayed the party and revolution and the great cause of the toiling masses, particularly of the oppressed masses of Odisha and proved himself to be a renegade.

Sabyasachi Panda worked for some period in the CPI (M) and later in the CPI (ML)-Liberation.  He was influenced  by the revolutionary  movement  and joined  the erstwhile  CPI (ML)  [PU] in 1998 leaving  the right opportunist Liberation party. Due to the merger of parties he continued to work in the erstwhile CPI (ML) [PW] and latter in CPI (Maoist).  He worked as a member of the AOBSZC  between 2003 and 2005, as a member of Odisha  State  Organizing  Committee  from  2005 and as its secretary  since  2008. In his 15 year long  practice, though he worked in a revolutionary  party he failed to transform himself into a genuine proletarian revolutionary and had been criticized  several times by his colleagues,  cadres and the CC comrades  for his anti-revolutionary opportunist political views, stands and practice. Even in the state level Special Plenum held in December last year, when he was criticized he accepted only some of his mistakes that too for namesake and escaped answering some of them. This coward ran away leaving the revolutionary  movement  instead of sincerely realizing and rectifying his mistakes like a true proletarian revolutionary.

His 16-page letter is full of rotten lies, distortions and twisting of facts and there is not an iota of truth in them whatsoever. They were hurled with the most awful intention of liquidation and destruction of revolutionary movement in Odisha and damaging the image of our party that is serving as a ray of hope for the toiling masses and renowned  for dedication  to a great  cause,  the cause  of liberation  of our country  and selfless  unparalleled sacrifices.  It is an open secret that he hurled them with the evil and appalling  intention  of fulfilling  his selfish political motives that serve the ruling classes. Ruling classes bring to the fore people like Panda to gain legitimacy for the foul propaganda they carry on about the revolutionary  movement and such phenomena occur frequently in history. The enemy has been hurling such fabricated lies on several of our leaders like comrades Charu Mazumdar and Kanhai  Chatterji,  on our party and the revolutionary  movement  ever since the launch of the revolutionary movement by keeping opportunists like Panda in the front.

Before going into the allegations  made by Panda and the reasons behind them, we want to clearly state the fact that our party conducts meetings, plenums and conferences  in order to correct and improve our practice and to advance  with higher  tasks.  It realizes  its mistakes  and corrects  them through  criticism  – self-criticism, reviews  and rectification  campaigns  taken up specifically.  This is a continuous  process. Panda's evil intentions can be gauged from the fact that in spite of knowing all these things he placed before the people his 16-pages of sham allegations. The actual fact is that he decided to leave the party as he was not ready to rectify himself in such a process.

The list of Mr. Panda's filthy and foul-smelling  allegations  is long enough,  some of the allegations  he hurled prominently are as follows :

1. Violence for no reason and killings of innocent persons has become the norm for the Maoists; cadres are being ordered to kill innocent and unarmed policemen indiscriminately
2. There is domination of Telugu and Koya comrades in the Party.
3. Adivasis are exploited the most by the Maoists, they are made to cook and carry luggage; cadre are not allowed to meet their families even during festivals;  Adivasi women are being exploited sexually by the Maoists
4. Ganapathy wants to establish a dictatorship based on terror and fear.

State suppresses  people fighting for their rights with all kinds of weapons available with it. And if that fight is for the liberation  of the people i.e., for the political power of the toiling masses, the state suppresses  it most  severely.  Its  police,  paramilitary  and  military  carry  on this  offensive  from  the  front  while  all  its  other components  participate  most cruelly in the offensive  in a planned, coordinated  and conspiratorial  manner. So it becomes  absolutely  necessary  for people  to resort  to armed  struggle.

Anybody  who knows  ABC  of Marxism would know about this fundamental and primary principle about revolutionary violence. Nobody would think that Panda did not know about this party line when he left the right opportunist  CPI (ML)-Liberation  party, accepted the line of the revolutionary  party and joined the party and when he accepted  the line of the Unity Congress. However  as Panda  wanted  to disassociate  himself  from the party,  he is spitting  venom  that Maoists  resort  to violence for no reason and that they are killing innocent people. He is trying to show that he is opposing all this so that the Indian state takes a benevolent  attitude towards him. Class enemies like Laxmananand  and Jagbandhu, government armed forces and officers who carry on the state repression and participate in it, who severely torture the people, destroy their lives in all aspects and resort to killings, are suddenly being perceived as innocents  by Panda.  He is displaying  more faith than the master  to kowtow  before  the ruling classes  and is surpassing  the enemy foul propaganda in uttering lies.

Panda is resorting to the age-old cheap 'divide and rule' tactic of the British colonialists  and the Indian ruling  classes  who  are  retracing  their  steps  by  making  the  allegation  that  Telugu  and  Koya  comrades  are dominating  in Odisha. The revolutionary  movement led by CPI (Maoist) follows the path of Protracted People's War and builds the revolutionary movement to finally seize political power all over the country by spreading from smaller areas to vaster areas, isolated  areas to all over the country,  and by developing  from a small force to a mighty force. From the beginning  with a strategic outlook it deploys its forces in various areas accordingly  and carries  on the work.  It develops  local  mass base,  develops  party  and army  and establishes  area-wise  political power. By following this line, it brings a change in the strength of forces, finally surrounds the cities and captures political power all over the country. Keeping this in view, every member of our party must be prepared to go to any part of the country to work. Moreover, as internationalists  communists must be prepared to go any country or area  and  work  shoulder  to  shoulder  with  the  people  there  for  their  liberation.

The  entire  history  of  Indian revolution indicates that revolutionary movement spread to various parts of the country due to the determined and revolutionary  efforts of comrades who left their areas and states and went to other areas and states to work. Such comrades  learnt the languages,  respected  the cultures of the people there and integrated  themselves  with them. The movements  built in new areas  are proof of this collective  effort  of comrades.  Due to his narrow-minded regionalism not just today, but Panda could never accept the fact that comrades from other states are coming and working in Odisha.

Instead of appreciating the selflessness of those comrades he continuously and conspiratorially tried to create a divide between them and the Odiya comrades by resorting to factionist methods. Panda displayed narrow-minded  regional chauvinism towards comrades from other states who came to work in Odisha according to the needs of the movement and behaved in a domineering,  undemocratic  and sectarian manner with them. The fact is Odiya people and the Odiya comrades have happily welcomed  and accepted the fact that comrades from Andhra Pradesh,  Jharkhand  and Chhattisgarh  are coming to work for them and with them. We hope that those handful of cadres who are with Panda would rethink about the People's War path, see through the lie and expose him by realizing his conspiracies.

Nothing could be more deceiving than Panda shedding crocodile tears like the ruling class butchers and hurling accusations about the 'exploitation of Adivasis' by the Maoists even while discarding the aim of liberating the Adivasis as part of people's revolutionary  movement.  For Panda who never participated  in collective  works while he was in the party, the striving of Adivasi comrades for revolution by bringing out their energy to the full voluntarily  and with the highest  level of revolutionary  consciousness  is looking  like 'exploitation  by Maoists' after he wore the glasses of the ruling classes. And, who are Maoists? Who are Adivasis? Are not all the Adivasi comrades inside the party Maoists?

We are not at all surprised that the individual labor necessary in the daily life of  a  revolutionary  movement,  the  collective  labor  necessary  in  military,  technical,  production-development, welfare and other fields and the various kinds of labor that people do in the course of people's movements looks like 'exploitation  by Maoists' to this brand new opportunist who left the revolution and became an apologist for the  ruling  classes.  In  a  proletarian  party  everybody  does  one's  own  work  as  part  of  daily  life.  Everybody participates  in collective works and carries luggage too. Patients, physically weak persons and those with special responsibilities  are extended help by other comrades. A people's army itself means that apart from participating in war it does its works like cooking and carrying luggage that are an integral part of it on its own.

Everybody must inevitably do all these works as part of People's War with no discrimination  based on nationality, gender, region etc. This has happened  in all the guerilla  zones in our country  and is still continuing.  In fact, the culture  in a Maoist party is a democratic,  socialist  culture that does not discriminate  between man and woman, literate and illiterate and cadres and leaders. This is one of the major factors in attracting a huge number of Adivasis towards our party. It is this kind of culture that our party strives to spread among millions of people.

The allegation  that Maoists  are raping and sexually  harassing  women in the party/Adivasi  women has been hurled repeatedly by the state. In what other manner can we expect the newly turned renegade to attack the Maoists than in the heinous manner of the ruling classes? The answer given by our party several times in the past is the answer to this allegation now too. But the best answer to this allegation is being given by the hundreds of women  comrades   who  are  joining  the  party,  the  thousands-lakhs   of  members   in  revolutionary   women's organizations  along with the women in our movement  areas and the hundreds  of women martyrs who had laid down their lives for the liberation of the toiling people in the past 45 years since Naxalbari.

Since  communist  party  was  formed  in  India  in  1925  till  now,  in  the  more  than  90  years  of  Indian communist  movement's  history,  it is not  an  exaggeration  to  say  that  never  before  had  the  communist  party integrated itself with the people, their culture and all the aspects relating to people's lives as in the past 25 years. Not only had our party  integrated  but it is also holding  aloft all the progressive  elements  in the political  and cultural lives of the people, imbibing them, developing them and revolutionizing  them. The revolutionary  masses would anyway  not believe  the allegation  by Panda who worked  as a state secretary  that party is not allowing activists to go home even for festivals.  This is just another instance of an opportunistic  attack by him to make those who are not familiar with the realities of the revolutionary movement to believe that the revolutionary party is so horrible as to not send activists home even for festivals.

The allegation that Ganapathy  wants to establish a dictatorship  based on terror and fear is so ridiculous that it in fact does not even deserve an explanation.  CPI (Maoist) is not at all any bourgeois party. Its immediate aim is to overthrow  the present semi-colonial,  semi-feudal  system in our country and establish  new democratic revolutionary  rule,  i.e., the democratic  dictatorship  of four classes  – workers,  peasants,  petty-bourgeoisie  and national bourgeoisie under the leadership of the proletariat and based on worker-peasant unity. Its ultimate goal is the establishment  of socialism and communism.  Panda is fully aware of this. Panda is making false allegation on comrade  Ganapathy  and  our  party  with  the  selfish  motive  of  gaining  a  place  through  compromise  in  the dictatorship   of  the  comprador   bureaucratic   bourgeoisie   and  the  land  lords  that  are  in  collusion  with  the imperialists and carrying on an unprecedented despotic rule wearing the mask of parliamentary democracy.

In reality,  it was  Panda  who  was  trying  to establish  his  dictatorship  inside  Odisha.  After  seeing  the reviews  and decisions  made in the Special  Plenum  he realized  that the party cadres  are no longer prepared  to accept  his  domination.  They  criticized  his  bureaucratic  behavior  and  his  undemocratic  and  sectarian  attitude towards  comrades  from  other  states.  Realizing  that  he can  no longer  carry  on his bureaucratic  methods,  this opportunist decided to quit the party and doubled his preparations for the same since then.

In fact, Panda stopped contacting the Odisha state in-charge CC comrade since the completion of the state level Special Plenum. Since then, for nearly half a year he went on spitting venom on the party in interviews and statements.  This  created  political  and  organizational  problems  in the  party  and  caused  severe  damage  to the Odisha movement as he was taking stands that were against the decisions of the Special Plenum, party's political line and policies.  He resorted  to downright  opportunistic  methods during the arrest of Italian tourists under his leadership. He declared a one-sided seize-fire for the entire state of Odisha. But in fact, it was not correct on his part to declare so when two different state border party committees  are working in considerable  parts of Odisha and  its borders  and  he had  no right  to dictate  terms  to the  other  two  party  committees.  He  not  only  openly criticized AOB comrades for arresting a MLA and killing a SI after he had declared his one-sided seize fire but even went to the extent of saying that it had become a fashion for AOB comrades to kill.

Keeping aside the reviews made by the entire party under Odisha SOC, he declared that the annihilations of  class  enemies  Laxmananda  and  Jagbandhu  were  not  correct.  He  began  a  malicious  campaign  by  giving statements  in  the  name  of  comrade  Nikhil,  trying  to  create  divide  between  comrades  hailing  from  various communities  and states. It is not a coincidence  that when stories were being published continuously  in the media about Panda leaving the party and forming a new group, Panda who always stays in touch with the media did not release any explanation.  It is clear as the day that since the completion  of the Special Plenum, Panda had been planning to desert the party and resorted to all these opportunistic methods and liquidationist activities. Finally he quit the party as a culmination of his degeneration.

Panda took a right opportunist stand regarding some political issues that came to the fore in the course of the Odisha movement and finally degraded into a revisionist who rejects the line of Protracted People's War. His sectarian,   bureaucratic,   ultra-democratic,   factionist   attitudes,   careerism,   craving   for  name   and  fame   and organizational  indiscipline  caused severe damage to the Odisha party and the movement.  He sought an easy life and was not hard-working.  This opportunist  utilized the situation  where Odisha party and the State Organizing Committee  that were in the course of consolidating  faced severe losses and the enemy offensive  was seriously concentrated  on the CC,  to carry  on his disruptionist  activities.

The  root  for all this  lies  in his  spilling  over individualism  which keeps the individual  at the centre. Apart from this, there has been a considerable  change in the counter-revolutionary war carried  on by the Indian  ruling  classes  with the full support  of the imperialists, particularly  US imperialists  since  mid-2009  in the name  of Operation  Green  Hunt.  Panda's  degeneration  and betrayal must be seen in the context of the country-wide,  multi-pronged  massive military offensive that is being carried out on our movement since then. Party suffered serious losses all over the country in this offensive. Even Odisha state where class struggle is still weak had to bear the brunt and it suffered serious losses from end-2010.

The offensive is bound to intensify in this state too. The reason for the intensification  of this massive offensive is the MNC and our country's comprador  corporate interests that want to crush every organization  and the people that prove a hurdle to their plunder of natural resources and raw materials in backward countries like India. As the financial  crisis  that  is  engulfing  the  world  economy  intensifies,  the  offensive  on  the  revolutionary  party,  its leadership,  movement  and the oppressed  and toiling masses would also be intensified  in proportion  by them in order to come out of it. In such a backdrop, to lead the revolutionary movement is like walking a sword's edge for any leader  of the revolutionary  party.

Any true party leader  would strive to utilize  the excellent  revolutionary material conditions in the country and the world to politically prepare the people, to develop the People's War and turn the tide in favor of the revolution. It requires commitment  towards revolutionary  ideology, tremendous grit, courageous decision-making,  mobilizing the party, people's army and the people in a unified way, and sacrificing nature to fulfill this task. It requires a steely will to transform oneself and the party according  to the needs and tasks of the revolution. Those who do not display these qualities either fail to give leadership to the revolution or lose their capacity to lead. Some among them run away like cowards from the battlefield or join the enemy ranks.

These opportunists and renegades take the side of the ruling classes and resort to all kinds of allegations to cover up the fact. There have been such renegades not only in our party history but also in the revolutions  of various countries in the past and Panda would not be the last one.

Keeping all these things in view, our Central Committee  began putting special efforts to rectify him by placing all allegations on Panda in front of him in a political manner and giving him a chance to rectify. But since the completion of the state level Special Plenum, he cut his contacts with the CC in-charge comrade and went on attacking our party, movement and the leadership openly and in a series. As a culmination of all this, he released this letter to the media and proved himself to be a renegade. So our CC is expelling Sabyasachi  Panda from the party and declaring the fact to our party comrades in Odisha, the entire revolutionary masses and the revolutionary camp in our country.

We  are  appealing   to  the  Odisha  comrades,   mass  organizations   of  Odisha  and  the  revolutionary- democratic   masses  to  condemn  Panda's  enemy-like   opportunistic   stand  towards  our  party,  movement  and leadership  and the pro-ruling class, anti-people  stands taken by him and to completely  reject him and his rotten modern revisionist politics and his allegations.

History has proven several times that renegades such as Panda who boast about themselves  as the heroes of revolution  and who are focused as such by the ruling classes would be relegated  to the dustbin and that the true revolutionary  party, its leaders and the revolutionary  masses led by it would  advance  en-route  for victory  in the midst  of great  storms  and whirlwinds  with undaunted  courage  and bravery.  It is people  who  are  makers  of history  and  not  sham  revolutionaries  like  Panda.  Our  party  is fully confident that the revolutionary  masses of Odisha would certainly reject traitors like Panda who try to be in the limelight in the name of Odisha and immerse themselves in the service of the ruling classes to their heart's content and that the Odisha comrades and the vast toiling masses would follow the revolutionary path under the leadership of the CPI (Maoist).

[Naxalite Maoist India] Sabyasachi Panda's Letter and CPI Maoist Politburo Response

The full letter containing Sabyasachi Panda's accusations against the CPI(Maoist) leadership is not available on-line but some extracts have been reported in the news media. This criticism is presented below along with the press release issued by the CPI(Maoist) expelling him. 

Extracts from Sabyasachi Panda's Letter 

Panda, 43, wrote two letters on June 1 to CPI(Maoist) general secretary Muppala Laxaman Rao alias Ganapathy, politburo members Prashant Bose alias Sumit, Narayan Sanyal alias Vijay, and other Maoist cadres. It is not clear if they reached their intended recipients.
"As I have not got proper democracy to discuss or write the political opinion... and as there is no scope for an immediate solution of our long-standing problems, I would like to write this," Panda said in the letters, running into 39 pages and accessed by The Indian Express. Excerpts:
Replication
"People in Bihar may need one armed organisation in their struggle to face armed gangs of landlords. But for riot-affected people of Orissa or for the people of Lalgarh, we should not copy the form of organisation and form of struggle mechanically as per our subjective wishes... One democratic revolution cannot end all types of small and big exploitations from any society."
Senseless violence
"When everybody is carrying mobiles in hand, we can't influence people by blasting towers everyday. From 2000 up to now I have been witnessing so many unnecessary annihilations in Orissa... We can stamp anybody as an informer and kill him with our gunpowder without responsibility to convince the people for our action! This is our revolutionary birthright.
"...Jagabandhu Majhi [BJD MLA] was annihilated in 2011 by Chhattisgarh comrades. He was a person who had been moving in a wheelchair, a handicapped person. He had been threatened by our people for two years. Out of fear, he contacted me and wanted to surrender. Simply he was killed... Just after the unification of the erstwhile People's War and the MCC, the comrades of the erstwhile MCC annihilated five or six villagers in Jujumara [Orissa]. The cause of annihilation was just like our all-time formal statements that they are informers.
"In 2009, when politburo member Basavraj [Namballa Keshava Rao] visited our area, he made some comments on other politburo members such as Kishenji. 'He is not doing anything, not killing a single policeman, and giving statements'. As if killing police is the one and only job for a revolutionary."
No alternative policies
"Yes, we have to fight against exploitation, but what is your special policy for a new democratic government in tribal areas? Your Janatana Sarkar is not the tribal autonomy body [nor is it] government by traditional tribal rules, even partially. You are destroying tribal culture for your selfishness. You have no alternative agricultural, industrial, medical and educational policies."
No democracy
"Leaders think [of themselves] as masters and cadres have no courage to oppose the leaders' mistakes... The policy in practice is to suppress or eliminate the opposing voice by force, either inside the party or outside in society. In a meeting of the Basdhara and Ghumsar divisional committees, central committee member Bhaskar [alias Modem Balakrishna] in the presence of member Chetan suspended member Chalapati saying that "in a communist party, for faults of a party member, we may suspend, expel and if needed can kill him/her(marne ki saaja bhi de sakte). Even innocent people may be killed sometimes for revolution...
"Only yes-men and good boys/girls of leaders are promoted. In the name of promotion, a type of feudal democracy, similar to that of the fascist RSS, prevailed in this party."
Rules & theories
"Now it has become a common rule to issue blades to all boys and girls for shaving [their private parts]. Dandakaranya cadres have accepted this as a party rule, just like using only Lifebuoy and Rin soaps, Timex watches and Action shoes.... And it is also said that in the place for bathing, all should bathe without [wearing] clothes. What is the relation of a revolution to such stupid theories?
"...Oriya cadres are dissuaded from taking sugar in their food with the advice that it would cause diabetes. You can take as much mirchi and tamarind as you like, but are not allowed to mix sugar in your tamarind water, and you can't eat onion as a substitute... If we use Margo soap for squad members instead of Lifebuoy, central committee members such as Basavraj will comment on us."
No accounting
"Financial anarchy is a common trend in the party. AOB [Andhra-Orissa border] cadre Binoy accumulated money from various sources before he surrendered. In the party there is no fair accounting system. So many Dandankaranya cadres and main-force activists are expending money as per their wish and giving a round account... 'Rs 10,000 we have done expenditures'. Bengal comrade Ashok did not give accounts of Rs 15 lakh. All these are symptoms of wrong trends that we are promoting from above.
Partiality
"Our AOB leaders always tried to treat the Orissa committee as subordinates. They never want to develop one independent Orissa revolutionary struggle... Commanders of Dandakaranya and Andhra-Orissa Border are giving regular irrelevant interviews as they wish. In 2009, a resolution was adopted that without a decision I should not give any interview."
Minority policy
"As per the new theory of central committee members, Christianity is the main obstacle before building a revolutionary organisation. Central committee member Manoj said Christianity is an organised religion... and so for any organised revolutionary work it will become an obstacle... Left sectarian friends of AOB distributed a leaflet against Christianity in Srikakulam... Later, AOB cadres and squads who were Christian were removed from that area... When Christian people organised around us, politburo members such as Basabraj started advising us to write in circulars and pamphlets that 'Christianity is not the solution to people's problems'."

Other Accusations by Sabyasachi Panda
In an audio message issued late on Sunday night the senior Maoist leader said the party's decision to expel him comes seven months after he and his supporters had severed all ties with it, and a month after he had announced the formation of a new outfit called the Odisha Maovadi Party (OMP).

The CPI-Maoist party had, in a four-page press release on Friday, announced the expulsion of Sabyasachi Panda for indulging in opportunism, anti-party activities and for being a 'renegade'. The 16-page letter, addressed to the party general secretary Ganapathy, also dismissed the serious allegations brought by Panda against the party leadership. 

In a 5-minute long audio message Panda has accused the party of following anti-tribal, anti-minorities and anti-people policies and condemned the party's growing dependence on the politics of eliminating individuals without any justifiable reasons. He has blamed a section of the party's leadership, especially those from the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, for the 'degeneration' that has set in within the party. He has specifically named party's central committee member Modem Balkrishna alias Manoj for conspiring against him and trying to impose a number of unacceptable decisions on the Odisha party cadres.
 

"They have killed activists and workers from the SUCI, CITU, CPI-ML and even ordinary people without any justifiable reasons. I have been critical of their politics of murder and acts that spreads terror. We were not willing to play slaves to a party that denies internal democracy and works against the interests of the people," the audio message said.

Panda has also alleged that the Maoist leaders are collecting huge amount of money from corporates who are displacing the local people for their industries despite a party decision not to seek funds from such private operators. "It was the anti-people and sectarian politics of the party that had forced us to go for a rethink and we finally decided to move away from the party," he said in the message, adding he had decided to expose the wrongdoings in the party in November 2011 after he was placed under 'party arrest' for about three months on the basis of false charges by intolerant and narrow-minded leaders.

Panda has ruled out any possibility of any kind of armed conflict with the CPI-Maoist factions opposed to him and said he and his associates will continue with their work for the poor and oppressed people in Ganjam, Gajapati, Rayagada and Kandhamal districts where they have been serving the poor and oppressed people since 1995.

Panda has dismissed allegations that he had leaked the content of his long letter to the central committee members of the party and said the police had intercepted it while it was on its way from Kolkata to a jailed party leader. 

In his message Panda has said the CPI-Maoist party is moving along a self-destructive path and that it would perish unless it reviews its anti-people policies, admits its mistakes and takes corrective action. "We would welcome it even if we are no longer a part of the party," he said.

Significantly, Sabyasachi Panda has not given any indication at all about the possibility of his surrender or return to mainstream politics, something that has been the subject of wide speculations ever since reports of his differences with top CPI-Maoists appeared in the media.

Press statement of CPI(Maoist) on Sabyasachi Panda is given below : 




Sabyasachi  Panda,  the secretary  of our Odisha  State  Organizing  Committee  released  a 16-page  letter addressed to the General Secretary of our party, Comrade Ganapathy to the media on 14-07-2012. In cahoots with the ruling classes he spit venom on the CPI (Maoist) and the revolutionary movement led by it and hurled several baseless, sham allegations and fabricated lies. He released this letter with the evil intention of liquidating the party and the revolutionary  movement,  discarded  the ideology  of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and left the vanguard party of the proletariat.  He openly declarethat he is completely  disassociating  himself from the People's War line and revolutionary  practice  and exposed  his modern  revisionist  face. In the most abominable,  crooked  and conspiratorial  manner he betrayed the party and revolution and the great cause of the toiling masses, particularly of the oppressed masses of Odisha and proved himself to be a renegade.

Sabyasachi Panda worked for some period in the CPI (M) and later in the CPI (ML)-Liberation.  He was influenced  by the revolutionary  movement  and joined  the erstwhile  CPI (ML)  [PU] in 1998 leaving  the right opportunist Liberation party. Due to the merger of parties he continued to work in the erstwhile CPI (ML) [PW] and latter in CPI (Maoist).  He worked as a member of the AOBSZC  between 2003 and 2005, as a member of Odisha  State  Organizing  Committee  fro2005 and as its secretary  since  2008. In his 15 year long  practice, though he worked in a revolutionary  party he failed to transform himself into a genuine proletarian revolutionary and had been criticized  several times by his colleagues,  cadres and the CC comrades  for his anti-revolutionary opportunist political views, stands and practice. Even in the state level Special Plenum held in December last year, when he was criticized he accepted only some of his mistakes that too for namesake and escaped answering some of them. This coward ran away leaving the revolutionary  movement  instead of sincerely realizing and rectifying his mistakes like a true proletarian revolutionary.

His 16-page letter is full of rotten lies, distortions and twisting of facts and there is not an iota of truth in them whatsoever. They were hurled with the most awful intention of liquidation and destruction of revolutionary movement in Odisha and damaging the image of our party that is serving as a ray of hope for the toiling masses and renowned  for dedication  to a greacause,  the causof liberation  of our country  and selfless  unparalleled sacrifices.  It is an open secret that he hurled them with the evil and appalling  intention  of fulfilling  his selfish political motives that serve the ruling classes. Ruling classes bring to the fore people like Panda to gain legitimacy for the foul propaganda they carry on about the revolutionary  movement and such phenomena occur frequently in history. The enemy has been hurling such fabricated lies on several of our leaders like comrades Charu Mazumdar and Kanhai  Chatterji,  on our party and the revolutionary  movement  ever since the launch of the revolutionary movement by keeping opportunists like Panda in the front.

Before going into the allegations  made by Panda and the reasons behind them, we want to clearly state the fact that our party conducts meetings, plenums and conferences  in order to correct and improve our practice and to advance  with higher  tasks.  It realizes  its mistakes  and corrects  them through  criticism   self-criticism, reviews  and rectification  campaigns  taken up specifically.  This is a continuous  process. Panda's evil intentions can be gauged from the fact that in spite of knowing all these things he placed before the people his 16-pages of sham allegations. The actual fact is that he decided to leave the party as he was not ready to rectify himself in such a process.

The list of Mr. Panda's filthy and foul-smelling  allegations  is long enough,  some of the allegations  he hurled prominently are as follows :


1. Violence for no reason and killings of innocent persons has become the norm for the Maoists; cadres are being ordered to kill innocent and unarmed policemen indiscriminately  
2. There is domination of Telugu and Koya comrades in the Party. 
3. Adivasis are exploited the most by the Maoists, they are made to cook and carry luggage; cadre are not allowed to meet their families even during festivals;  Adivasi women are being exploited sexually by the Maoists 
4. Ganapathy wants to establish a dictatorship based on terror and fear.

State suppresses  people fighting for their rights with all kinds of weapons available with it. And if that fight is for the liberation  of the people i.e., for the political power of the toiling masses, the state suppresses  it most  severely.  Its  police,  paramilitary  and  military  carry  on this  offensive  from  the  front  while  all  its  other components  participate  most cruelly in the offensivin a planned, coordinated  and conspiratorial  manner. So it becomes  absolutely  necessary  for people  to resort  to armed  struggle.  

Anybody  who knows  ABC  of Marxism would know about this fundamental and primary principle about revolutionary violence. Nobody would think that Panda did not know about this party line when he left the right opportunist  CPI (ML)-Liberation  party, accepted the line of the revolutionary  party and joined the party and when he accepted  the line of the Unity Congress. However  as Panda  wanted  to disassociate  himself  from the party,  he is spitting  venom  that Maoists  resort  to violence for no reason and that they are killing innocent people. He is trying to show that he is opposing all this so that the Indian state takes a benevolenattitude towards him. Class enemies like Laxmananand  and Jagbandhu, government armed forces and officers who carry on the state repression and participate in it, who severely torture the people, destroy their lives in all aspects and resort to killings, are suddenly being perceived as innocents  by Panda.  He is displaying  more faith than the master  to kowtow  before  the ruling classes  and is surpassing  the enemy foul propaganda in uttering lies.

Panda is resorting to the age-old cheap 'divide and rule' tactic of the British colonialists  and the Indian ruling  classes  who  are  retracing  their  steps  by  making  the  allegation  that  Telugu  and  Koya  comrades  are dominating  in Odisha. The revolutionary  movement led by CPI (Maoist) follows the path of Protracted People's War and builds the revolutionary movement to finally seize political power all over the country by spreading from smaller areas to vaster areas, isolated  areas to all over the country,  and by developing  from a small force to a mighty force. From the beginning  with a strategic outlook it deploys its forces in various areas accordingly  and carries  on the work.  It develops  local  mass base,  develops  party  and army  and establishes  area-wise  political power. By following this line, it brings a change in the strength of forces, finally surrounds the cities and captures political power all over the country. Keeping this in view, every member of our party must be prepared to go to any part of the country to work. Moreover, as internationalists  communists must be prepared to go any country or area  and  work  shoulder  to  shoulder  with  the  people  there  for  their  liberation.  

The  entire  history  of  Indian revolution indicates that revolutionary movement spread to various parts of the country due to the determined and revolutionary  efforts of comrades who left their areas and states and went to other areas and states to work. Such comrades  learnt the languages,  respected  the cultures of the people there and integrated  themselves  with them. The movements  built in new areaare proof of this collective  efforof comrades.  Due to his narrow-minded regionalism not just today, but Panda could never accept the fact that comrades from other states are coming and working in Odisha. 

Instead of appreciating the selflessness of those comrades he continuously and conspiratorially tried to create a divide between them and the Odiya comrades by resorting to factionist methods. Panda displayed narrow-minded  regional chauvinism towards comrades from other states who came to work in Odisha according to the needs of the movement and behaved in a domineering,  undemocratic  and sectarian manner with them. The fact is Odiya people and the Odiya comrades have happily welcomed  and accepted the fact that comrades from Andhra Pradesh,  Jharkhand  and Chhattisgarh  are coming to work for them and with them. We hope that those handful of cadres who are with Panda would rethink about the People's War path, see through the lie and expose him by realizing his conspiracies.

Nothing could be more deceiving than Panda shedding crocodile tears like the ruling class butchers and hurling accusations about the 'exploitation of Adivasis' by the Maoists even while discarding the aim of liberating the Adivasis as part of people's revolutionary  movement.  For Panda who never participated  in collective  works while he was in the party, the striving of Adivasi comrades for revolution by bringing out their energy to the full voluntarily  and with the highest  level of revolutionary  consciousness  is looking  like 'exploitation  by Maoists' after he wore the glasses of the ruling classes. And, who are Maoists? Who are Adivasis? Are not all the Adivasi comrades inside the party Maoists? We are not at all surprised that the individual labor necessary in the daily life of  a  revolutionary  movement,  the  collective  labor  necessary  in  military,  technical,  production-development, welfare and other fields and the various kinds of labor that people do in the course of people's movements looks like 'exploitation  by Maoists' to this brand new opportunist who left the revolution and became an apologist for the  ruling  classes.  In  a  proletarian  party  everybody  does  one's  own  work  as  part  of  daily  life.  Everybody participates  in collective works and carries luggage too. Patients, physically weak persons and those with special responsibilities  are extended help by other comrades. A people's army itself means that apart from participating in war it does its works like cooking and carrying luggage that are an integral part of it on its own. Everybody must
inevitably do all these works as part of People's War with no discrimination  based on nationality, gender, region etc. This has happened  in all the guerilla  zones in our country  and is still continuing.  In fact, the culture  in a Maoist party is a democratic,  socialist  culture that does not discriminate  between man and woman, literate and illiterate and cadres and leaders. This is one of the major factors in attracting a huge number of Adivasis towards our party. It is this kind of culture that our party strives to spread among millions of people.

The allegation  that Maoists  are raping and sexually  harassing  women in the party/Adivasi  women has been hurled repeatedly by the state. In what other manner can we expect the newly turned renegade to attack the Maoists than in the heinous manner of the ruling classes? The answer given by our party several times in the past is the answer to this allegation now too. But the best answer to this allegation is being given by the hundreds of women  comrades   who  are  joining  the  party,  the  thousands-lakh of  members   in  revolutionar women's organizations  along with the women in our movement  areas and the hundreds  of women martyrs who had laid down their lives for the liberation of the toiling people in the past 45 years since Naxalbari.

Since  communist  party  was  formed  in  India  in  1925  till  now,  in  the  more  than  90  years  of  Indian communist  movement's  history,  it is not  an  exaggeration  to  say  that  never  before  had  the  communist  party integrated itself with the people, their culture and all the aspects relating to people's lives as in the past 25 years. Not only had our party  integrated  but it is also holding  aloft all the progressive  elements  in the political  and cultural lives of the people, imbibing them, developing them and revolutionizing  them. The revolutionary  masses would anyway  not believe  the allegation  by Panda who worked  as a state secretary  that party is not allowing activists to go home even for festivals.  This is just another instance of an opportunistic  attack by him to make those who are not familiar with the realities of the revolutionary movement to believe that the revolutionary party is so horrible as to not send activists home even for festivals.

The allegation that Ganapathwants to establish a dictatorship  based on terror and fear is so ridiculous that it in fact does not even deserve an explanationCPI (Maoist) is not at all any bourgeois party. Its immediate aim is to overthrow  the present semi-colonial,  semi-feudal  system in our country and establish  new democratic revolutionary  rulei.e., the democratic  dictatorship  of four classes   workers,  peasants,  petty-bourgeoisie  and national bourgeoisie under the leadership of the proletariat and based on worker-peasant unity. Its ultimate goal is the establishment  of socialism and communism.  Panda is fully aware of this. Panda is making false allegation on comrade  Ganapathy  and  our  party  with  the  selfish  motive  of  gaining  a  place  through  compromise  in  the dictatorshi of  the  comprador   bureaucratic   bourgeoisie   and  the  land  lords  that  are  in  collusion  with  the imperialists and carrying on an unprecedented despotic rule wearing the mask of parliamentary democracy.

In reality,  it was  Panda  who  was  trying  to establish  his  dictatorship  inside  Odisha.  After  seeing  the reviews  and decisions  made in the Special  Plenum  he realized  that the party cadres  are no longer prepared  to accept  his  domination.  They  criticized  his  bureaucratic  behavior  and  his  undemocratic  and  sectarian  attitude towards  comrades  from  other  states.  Realizing  that  he can  no longer  carry  on his bureaucratic  methods,  this opportunist decided to quit the party and doubled his preparations for the same since then.

In fact, Panda stopped contacting the Odisha state in-charge CC comrade since the completion of the state level Special Plenum. Since then, for nearly half a year he went on spitting venom on the party in interviews and statements.  This  created  political  and  organizational  problems  in thparty  and  caused  severe  damage  to the Odisha movement as he was taking stands that were against the decisions of the Special Plenum, party's political line and policiesHe resorteto downrighopportunistic  methods during the arrest of Italian tourists under his leadership. He declared a one-sided seize-fire for the entire state of Odisha. But in fact, it was not correct on his part to declare so when two different state border party committees  are working in considerable  parts of Odisha and  its borders  and  he had  no right  to dictate  terms  to the  other  two  party  committees.  He  not  only  openly criticized AOB comrades for arresting a MLA and killing a SI after he had declared his one-sided seize fire but even went to the extent of saying that it had become a fashion for AOB comrades to kill.

Keeping aside the reviews made by the entire party under Odisha SOC, he declared that the annihilations of  class  enemies  Laxmananda  and  Jagbandhu  were  not  correct.  He  began  malicious  campaign  by  giving statements  ithe  name  of  comrade  Nikhil,  trying  tcreate  divide  between  comrades  hailing  from  various communities  and states. It is not a coincidence  that when stories were being published continuously  in the media about Panda leaving the party and forming a new group, Panda who always stays in touch with the media did not release any explanation.  It is clear as the day that since the completion  of the Special Plenum, Panda had been planning to desert the party and resorted to all these opportunistic methods and liquidationist activities. Finally he quit the party as a culmination of his degeneration.

Panda took a right opportunist stand regarding some political issues that came to the fore in the course of the Odisha movement and finally degraded into a revisionist who rejects the line of Protracted People's War. His sectarian,   bureaucratic ultra-democratic,   factionist   attitudes careerism craving   for  nam and  fam and
organizational  indiscipline  caused severe damage to the Odisha party and the movement.  He sought an easy life and was not hard-working.  This opportunist  utilized the situation  where Odisha party and the State Organizing Committee  that were in the course of consolidating  faced severe losses and the enemy offensive  was seriously concentrated  on the CC,  to carry  on his disruptionist  activities.  The  root  for all this  lies  in his  spilling  over individualism  which keeps the individual  at the centre. Apart from this, there has been a considerable  change in the counter-revolutionary war carried  on by the Indian  ruling  classes  with the full support  of the imperialists, particularly  US imperialists  since  mid-2009  in the name  of Operation  Green  Hunt.  Panda's  degeneration  and betrayal must be seen in the context of the country-wide,  multi-pronged  massive military offensive that is being carried out on our movement since then. Party suffered serious losses all over the country in this offensive. Even Odisha state where class struggle is still weak had to bear the brunt and it suffered serious losses from end-2010. The offensive is bound to intensify in this state too. The reason for the intensification  of this massive offensive is the MNC and our country's comprador  corporate interests that want to crush every organization  and the people that prove a hurdle to their plunder of natural resources and raw materials in backward countries like India. As the financial  crisis  that  is  engulfing  the  world  economy  intensifies,  the  offensive  on  the  revolutionary  party,  its leadership,  movement  and the oppressed  and toiling masses would also be intensified  in proportion  by them in order to come out of it. In such a backdrop, to lead the revolutionary movement is like walking a sword's edge for any leader  of the revolutionary  party. Any true party leader  would strive to utilize  the excellent  revolutionary material conditions in the country and the world to politically prepare the people, to develop the People's War and turn the tide in favor of the revolution. It requires commitment  towards revolutionary  ideology, tremendous grit, courageous decision-making,  mobilizing the party, people's army and the people in a unified way, and sacrificing nature to fulfill this task. It requires a steely will to transform oneself and the party according  to the needs and tasks of the revolution. Those who do not display these qualities either fail to give leadership to the revolution or lose their capacity to lead. Some among them run away like cowards from the battlefield or join the enemy ranks. These opportunists and renegades take the side of the ruling classes and resort to all kinds of allegations to cover up the fact. There have been such renegades not only in our party history but also in the revolutionof various countries in the past and Panda would not be the last one.

Keeping all these things in view, our Central Committee  began putting special efforts to rectify him by placing all allegations on Panda in front of him in a political manner and giving him a chance to rectify. But since the completion of the state level Special Plenum, he cut his contacts with the CC in-charge comrade and went on attacking our party, movement and the leadership openly and in a series. As a culmination of all this, he released this letter to the media and proved himself to be a renegade. So our CC is expelling Sabyasachi  Panda from the party and declaring the fact to our party comrades in Odisha, the entire revolutionary masses and the revolutionary camp in our country.

We  are  appealing   to  the  Odisha  comrades,   mass  organization of  Odisha  and  the  revolutionary- democrati masses  to  condemn  Panda's  enemy-like   opportunistic   stand  towards  our  party,  movement  and leadership  and the pro-ruling class, anti-people  stands taken by him and to completely  reject him and his rotten modern revisionist politics and his allegations. 

History has proven several times that renegades such as Panda who boast about themselves  as the heroes of revolution  and who are focused as such by the ruling classes would be relegated  to the dustbin and that the true revolutionary  party, its leaders and the revolutionary  masses led by it would  advance  en-route  for victory  in the midst  of great  storms  and whirlwinds  with undaunted  courage  and bravery.  It is people  who  are  makers  of history  and  not  sham  revolutionaries  like  Panda.  Our  party  is fully confident that the revolutionary  masses of Odisha would certainly reject traitors like Panda who try to be in the limelight in the name of Odisha and immerse themselves in the service of the ruling classes to their heart's content and that the Odisha comrades and the vast toiling masses would follow the revolutionary path under the leadership of the CPI (Maoist).
