CPI on Mass Killings in Chhattisgarh

The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued today (February 11, 2025) the following statement:

The recent encounter killings in Chhattisgarh, purportedly in the name of combating Maoist extremists, have raised serious concerns. Though the CPI has stark ideological differences with the Maoist extremists, the government’s approach of mass killings leaves no space for dialogue and a political solution. Local communities have expressed apprehensions that innocent tribals may have been wrongfully targeted under the guise of eliminating Maoists, further deepening mistrust.
