CPI (Maoist) reiterates its offer for peace talks, calls for immediate halt to Operation Kagar
Reiterating that the CPI (Maoist) is ready for peace talks, the banned outfit's North-West Sub-Zonal Bureau has renewed its call for halting the ongoing offensive against Maoists by security forces, which it called a 'surround and destroy' operation along the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border. A statement purportedly issued by Rupesh of the CPI (Maoist) called upon the government to stop the ongoing 'Operation Kagar' for one month to create a favourable environment for peace talks for the peaceful resolution of the problem through dialogue. The CPI (Maoist) Central Committee has already released letters expressing our party's readiness for peace talks as per the wish of all, he said, adding that the government's intention appears to be 'something else'. He said, 'Despite the opportunity to peacefully resolve the problem through dialogue, the government is trying to resolve it through repression and force.' 'As a consequence, the major offensive by security forces started on Bijapur-Telangana border. This has to be halted immediately and the security forces should be withdrawn,' Rupesh added.

Naxals Demand Peace Talks As Forces Launch Massive Anti-Maoist Operation In Chhattisgarh
Last Updated: This is the biggest operation launched by any of the security agencies in or around Chhattisgarh this year, an official said. After a massive anti-Maoist operation was launched in the Bastar region in Chhattisgarh, the Naxals have called for peace talks. A massive anti-Maoist operation involving around 10,000 personnel was launched in the Bastar region. 'Everyone wants the issue to be resolved through peace talks. Our party is always ready for peace talks. The central committee of our party had also issued letters regarding the peace process. We are continuously making efforts from our side to overcome the lack of trust," the outlawed CPI (Maoist)'s North-West Sub-Zonal Bureau in charge, Rupesh, said in a statement. 'However, the government's intentions seem different. Despite the possibility of resolving the issue through dialogue, the government is trying to solve it through repression and violence. As a result of this, a major military operation has been launched on the Bijapur-Telangana border. This operation should be stopped immediately, and the forces should be withdrawn," he added. He urged the government to resolve the issue through dialogue. 'This path will lead to positive outcomes. We request the government to suspend the ongoing large-scale military operation being carried out in the name of resolving the issue through force, for a period of one month," the statement said. The operation that started on Monday from Bijapur district in Chhattisgarh to the Karregutta hills in Telangana's Mulugu district has been going on for over 60 hours. Nearly 5,000 soldiers, along with support teams, are taking part in it. First Published: April 25, 2025, 15:21 IST
