Telangana: Hundreds arrested for protesting Maoists’ killings
Mass Repression in Telangana
On september 30 any forum sympathetic to the C.P.I.(Maoist) is supressed brutally
Today revolutionary democratic organizations are forced to work from underground like the Andhra Pradesh Radical Students Union
Well-known revolutionary writer Varavara Rao was taken into custody at RTC Cross Roads when he along with his supporters were proceeding towards the assembly building. Leaders of CPI, CPI-M and other Left parties and people’s organisations were arrested at Bagh Lingampally, from where the TDF planned to march to the assembly. Those arrested include TDF president Chada Venkat Reddy, professor P.L. Visweswara, professor Vinod Kumar and CPI-M state secretary T. Veerabhadram.
Student leaders took strong exception to police entering the hostels and library. Scores of students and their leaders were arrested at Osmania University and Nizam College hostels since Tuesday night. Police denied permission to the march on the ground that Maoists may participate in it and indulge in violence.Terming it as a “fake encounter”, 370 organisations, including 10 left parties and the groups which fought for separate Telangana state, have come together under the banner of TDF to condemn the killings. It is demanding probe by a sitting judge.
NEW DELHI: The number of people killed by Maoist violence has come down from 1005 in 2010 to 167 this year. The drop has prompted the government to claim that it may have finally managed to control Left-wing extremism. Figures up to September 15, 2015, ET has accessed shows attacks on security forces are down by almost 25% this year. Maoists have held only 28 ‘people’s court’ this year, compared to 58 in 2014. Arms training camps are down to 11 from 34. So, has Rajnath Singh achieved what even P Chidambaram could not?….
However, there is not much decline in total incidents — down to 784, till September 15, from 804 in 2014. It has gone up in Chhattisgarh to 334 from 236 in 2014.
Letter reveals missing schoolgirls from Lahiri turned Naxals
Nagpur: The three girls who went missing from Lahiri in Bhamragarh months ago have apparently joined the Naxal movement. This was confirmed after Gadchiroli police received a letter during an encounter on September 2. A copy of the letter with TOI with names of three girls clearly revealed that they had joined the “revolutionary movement” after allegedly facing harassment from the teachers at Lahiri Ashram School from where they went missing on January 3. Roshni Bija Vachami (16), Vaishali Bapurao Veladi (14), and Sarita Kota Vadde (15), all eighth standard students, who were untraceable since they fled the school have called on all young boys and girls to join the “red movement” to fight against alleged injustice meted out to tribal community by the government.
Teen rebelspeak:
* Ashram schoolteachers used to come drunk to classroom
* They used to abuse and harass students and bunk classes
* Many students fled school in the past to join Naxal movement
* No scope for jobs for students from Gadchiroli after education
* Joined Naxal movement after being fed up of govt atrocities
