Ranchi: The Eastern Regional Buro (ERB) of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has called for a Bharat bandh on April 26 against the killing of their cadres by security forces in Chhattisgarh and Bihar during “Operation Prahar” and appealed to the masses for support.
In a press communiqué issued by Sanket, the spokesperson of the ERB, the banned organisation has detailed the reasons for calling the bandh in the backdrop of statements issued by Union home minister Amit Shah after the Chhattisgarh gunbattle.
Blaming the RSS-supported BJP government at the Centre for pushing the commoners to a “war-like situation” and targetting "sons of the soil", Sanket said "Operation Prahar", planned by the Centre, is not going to be successful as the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist cadres are ready.
