In a shocking and outrageous move, the left parties—CPI(M), CPI, CPI (ML), and VCK—on 26 May 2025 shamelessly condemned the killing of Maoists in Chhattisgarh, calling it a fake encounter and have announced a joint protest in Chennai on 2 June 2025, backing clearly the extremist violence instead of condemning it.
In their joint statement, signed by CPM state secretary P. Shanmugam, CPI state secretary R. Mutharasan, CPI (ML) state secretary P. Aasai thambi, and VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan, they baselessly accused the central government and the BJP-led Chhattisgarh administration of “violent operations” disguised as anti-Naxal campaigns. They dubbed the anti-Maoist operation as “27 people killed” on May 22, deliberately ignoring the brutal violence and fear these armed extremists unleashed in the jungles.
Through a official X statement, CPM’s Shanmugam stated, “Joint Statement by CPI(M), CPI, VCK, CPI(ML) Liberation: 26.05.2025 Stop the fake encounter killings of Maoists – Order a judicial inquiry! On 2 June, a protest demonstration will be held in Chennai behalf of CPI(M), CPI, VCK, and CPI(ML) Liberation parties!!
The Union government and the BJP-led Chhattisgarh state government are carrying out intense armed operations to eliminate Maoists under the guise of anti-Naxal measures. On the 22nd, 27 people were brutally killed in one day alone. It is highly condemnable, even after the Maoists expressed their willingness to hold talks with the government, the Union and state governments have intensified their extermination operations. This is a blatant abuse of power aimed at completely suppressing the tribal people who are fighting against the wholesale handover of forest, natural, and mineral resources to corporate and foreign companies, as well as those who support their struggles.
Likewise, when the tribal communities fight for their right to live and forest rights, they do not accept Maoists acting as their protectors in the deep forest regions. We completely reject the Maoists’ methods, unacceptable ideologies, and practices. But we cannot allow the terrorist act of eliminating everyone who holds a differing opinion. Such actions cannot be the hallmark of a civilized, democratic government. What remains there is nothing but barbarism. We strongly condemn the repressive operations unleashed by BJP governments in Chhattisgarh.
We urge the Union and Chhattisgarh state governments to immediately stop the extermination operations against the Maoists and instead initiate talks to reach a political solution. More importantly, the Union and Chhattisgarh governments must immediately stop handing over the rich resources of the hills to private entities. The CPI(M), CPI, VKC, and CPI(ML) Liberation parties have decided to hold a joint protest in Chennai on Monday, 2 June 2025, demanding a full judicial inquiry into the fake clashes that have taken place so far, among other demands. We call upon all democratic forces to participate in this just protest against state terrorism, in support of democracy, and in defense of the rights of tribal communities, and to extend their full solidarity.”
