The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), the New People’s Army (NPA), and the entire revolutionary movement in the Philippines express unequivocal solidarity with the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and the People’s Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA). We stand with the people of India and their revolutionary forces as they frustrate “Operation Kagaar” and the Narendra Modi regime’s desperate war to crush the people’s war in India. As its end of March self-imposed deadline approaches, the regime has resorted to more brutal tactics of suppression. We join various international parties and forces in today’s March 28 International Call to Action, initiated by the International Committee to Support the People’s War in India (ICSPWI).
Since January 2024, the Indian state has waged Operation Kagaar (the “Final War”) against its own people. Thousands of military, paramilitary, and mercenary forces have been deployed, primarily in Central India, to crush the people’s resistance. By establishing hundreds of new military camps within forest and mountain communities, the state aimed to suppress the people’s struggle.
Operation Kagaar is a campaign of state terror against the people of India, against Adivasis, and organized forces who dare to oppose oppression. It specifically targets the leadership of the CPI (Maoist) while flagrantly violating international humanitarian law and the rules of war. These operations ignore the special protections guaranteed to vulnerable sectors in areas of armed conflict.
In just over two years, nearly 700 revolutionary leaders and Adivasi people have been killed in a series of massacres and summary executions. Thousands more have fallen victim to illegal arrests on trumped-up charges, abductions, and systemic harassment. The Modi regime has further intensified its coercive “surrender and reintegration” campaign, forcing civilians among the Adivasis to collaborate or face escalating military abuse.
These attacks paved the way for corporate plunder. Since this war intensified, corporations have rushed to seize and destroy thousands of acres of land, rivers, and forests to satisfy an insatiable greed for profit.
The Communist Party of the Philippines and the revolutionary movement in the Philippines trusts that the CPI (Maoist), the PLGA, and the Indian people will overcome the wave of fascist suppression and emerge victorious. So long as exploitation persists, the people will resist.
This campaign of suppression mirrors the US-directed fascist tactics employed against the Filipino people people for decades under various regimes up to the current US-Marcos regime. The Indian and Filipino people both exemplify courage in fighting terrorism and oppression, ready to face all difficulties and make the necessary sacrifices. The valiant resistance of the Indian people and revolutionary forces inspire the Filipino people to wage armed struggle with even greater ardour.
Amid a world being shaken by wars ignited, instigated or supported by imperialists, it is imperative that the Indian people and the Filipino people to unite and advance their struggles for national freedom and democracy. The liberation of our countries from imperialist oppression and domination would serve as an invaluable contribution to the global struggle against imperialism and for freedom and socialism.
As the Filipino people commemorate the 57th anniversary of the NPA this March 29, we stand in revolutionary solidarity with our comrades of the CPI (Maoist) and the PLGA, honoring their unwavering resistance.
Mabuhay kayo, mga kasama!
