Press Statement:
Condemn State Terrorism Committed in the name of Encounter
On 24 th October, 2016, AP Grey hounds and Odisha SOG, in a joint operation, have gunned down 24 persons – the leaders and cadres of CPI( Maoist) and the adivasi people- near Panasput villag e in Malkangiri district of Odisha. 4 more dead bodies were found on October 25 th in the same forest area. With this, the toll of dead has reached to 28. The police claimed that these deaths have occured in an‘ encounter’ between their security forces and the Maoists. But the facts show that these were nothing but cold blooded murders meticulously planned well in adv ance and ruthlessly executed. Here, the rulers, who swear by democracy, Constitution and rule of law, have blatantly violated them. We condemn this act of state terrorism and the methods of terror used against the people in the name of combings. We demand that the onslaught on the people must immediately be stopped in the area.
The rulers at the Centre as well as in States are going all

unless it em ancip ates the oppressed peoples. This means that the October Revolution has ushered in new era, the era of colonial revolutions which are being carried out in the oppressed countries of the world in alliance with the proletariat and under the leadership of the proletariat.
The October Revolution is not merely a revolution in the economic and social-political arena. It is at the same time a revolution in the ideology of the working class. The October Revolution was born and out in their policies of selling out the natural and human resources of our country to the imperialists. They have turned India into a tool of US strategy for hegemonism. Their pro-imperialist and profeudal policies have already driven every section of our people and every branch of life in the country into a worst crisis. They have intensified the attacks on the democratic rights of our people and are doing everything to inflame com munal, regional, casteist, national chauvinistic and fascist tendencies and forces to divide and divert the people from the real issues and suppress their struggles. Our people are struggling hard to come out of this situation.
We are clear that the politics and practices of terrorism in any form will not serve and even cause harm to the people. The most essential and unavoidable task before all those who are committed to bring a basic change in the lives of our people is to help the people – the real victims of the policies of exp loiting ruling classes— to organise, assert and exercise their democratic rights to defend their
lives and win a better future.

gained strength under the banner of Marxism- Leninism. It marks the victory of Marxism over reformism, and the victory of Leninism over Social- Democratism.
The world significance of the October Revolution lies not only in the f act that it constit utes a great beginning made by one country in causing a breach in the system of imperialism and that it is the first centre of socialism in the ocean of imperialist countries, but also in that it constitutes the first stage of the world revolution anda mighty base for its further development.
