The adivasis are struggling to foil the attempts of landlords, their henchmen and the govts. to sow divisions among them as well as between adivasis and non – adivasi poor, develop the mutual hostilities and clashes among them.
All these facts show that the objective conditions in the country are favourable for the peoples struggles to take a militant and revolutionary form and the people are looking for a party and leadership that can provide the leadership to their struggle in all its forms and in all its stages of development for the resolution of their basic problems. Hold High the Flag of Revolution
On the eve of 50 years of Naxalbari Peasant Revolutionary Movement, let us remember the revolutionary heroes who became Martyrs in 1967. Let us pay our revolutionary homage to them.
Recollecting the Naxalbari Peasant Revolutionary Movement is not just an act of ritual. Some still seek to wrongly depict this struggle as a product or symbol of left adventurist politics and practice with a view to keep the left adventurist politics alive in one form or other. Let us take the message of Naxalbari Peasant Revolutionary Movement widely among the people as a struggle that powerfully represented the revolutionary mass line, the path of agrarian revolution and advocated the need of developing the peasantry as the main revolutionary force under the leadership of working class and on the basis of firm worker –

In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.
In all these movements, they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.
Finally, they labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

Let us deeply study the experience of this struggle and learn from the valuable lessons this struggle provides and use them to set the CRs and the revolutionary movements on the assured road of advance. Let us pledge to carry forward and complete the unfinished tasks of Naxalbari. Let us own and carry forward best of the consciousness and Communist qualities represented by the Martyrs of Naxalbari. Let us get rid of the alien class and unhealthy tendencies that crept into us and the CR movement in the last 50 years of our journey in the midst and under the impact of ups and downs, setbacks and stagnations, and, in one word, we must shed all the tendencies that are not consistent with the CRs and Communist Revolutionary Organisations and cause harm to the revolutionary movement.
Let us overcome the divisions among the CRs, develop united action, a fine atmosphere of unity and pave the way for the building of a single, unified Party of proletariat in our Country.
Let us use all our energies and efforts to advance the New Democratic Revolution in India in the light a correct revolutionary mass line.
