“Praja Rajyam leader day dreaming if he thinks of establishing a just society” Maoist representative accuses actor of ‘historic ignorance’ on the naxal issue HYDERABAD: The Communist Party of India (Maoist) has criticised film star and newly launched ‘Praja Rajyam’ founder Chiranjeevi for “side-stepping” burning issues of the State like Left-wing extremism and Telangana. The Maoists would declare their policy towards the new party if clear cut policies and programmes are announced to tackle the political, social and economic problems plaguing the State and the country, A.P. State’s official spokesman Janardhan said in a press release on Monday. While stating that it would not be a surprise if Praja Rajyam comes to power considering the people’s disenchantment with the existing political parties, the Maoists said it would be impossible for Chiranjeevi or anyone else to tackle the social inequities under the prevailing socio-economic order. “People are sure to be drawn to him because of the promises he has made, sick as they were with the rule by both Telugu Desam and Congress parties,” he said. ‘Impossible’But, it was “impossible” to bring about a change through elections and promising the people the same is hoodwinking them yet again. The Praja Rajyam leader was also “day dreaming” if he was thinking of establishing a just society following the ideals of Gandhi and Mother Teresa as many organisation professing such ideals were doing the work but it was providing succour to very few. WB policiesMr. Janardhan demanded the actor make clear his opinion on the World Bank policies, whether he will take back ill-gotten wealth properties of politicians, bureaucrats and real estate mafia and if he will put a halt to the “State violence”. “It should not be difficult to have clear cut policies if the objective of a political leader is not to gather votes during elections but focus on people’s issues. Those who want to win elections at any cost by pleasing everyone will only avoid taking a stand,” Mr. Janardhan observed sarcastically. The Maoist representative accused the actor of having “historic ignorance” on the naxal issue for having commented that society would not transform by killing people. Until and unless, he realises naxal violence was a reaction to State violence, Chiranjeevi will never comprehend Left-wing extremism, Mr. Janardhan added. Back Kashmir ‘azadi’The CPI (Maoists) categorically extended its unequivocal support to the Kashmiri people’s struggle for ‘azadi’ and said those opposing it can never be democrats. It called upon its party members and the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army fighters to mobilise people in support of the Kashmiri people’s struggle for freedom. In a press release, Maoist Central Committee spokesperson Azad advised the people of Kashmir to come out cleanly with a slogan ‘Neither India nor Pakistan, but a sovereign independent Kashmir’. He warned people to beware of conspiracies of the reactionary rulers to bring in the ghost of Pakistan to justify their brutal suppression of Kashmiri people. He said history had demonstrated repeatedly that no nation, however small or weak, can be kept enslaved forever by another strong and mighty.
