To the Communist Party of India (Maoist)!
With hearts full of sorrow and heads held high in pride, we extend our deepest condolences on the tragic loss of Comrade Basavaraj, General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), to all Maoists, progressive forces, workers, peasants, committed intellectuals, and freedom fighters.
Basavaraj, a true son of the people and a symbol of resistance against imperialism and class oppression, dedicated his life to an unyielding struggle against the fascist Indian state and its imperialist backers in pursuit of justice, equality, and liberation. He was not only an exceptional strategist and leader but also a source of inspiration for generations of fighters throughout South Asia and beyond.
With firm steps in the red forests and unwavering trenches of resistance, he inscribed the message of liberation for the people with his blood. His untimely martyrdom on May 21, 2025, along with twenty-six (26) other Maoist comrades—including vanguard fighters of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army of India—by the security forces of the fascist Indian government under a campaign known as the “Anti-Naxalite Operation of the Indian State” in the forested area of Abujhmarh in Chhattisgarh, marks a great loss but also lights the path forward more brightly for us.
The memory and name of Comrade Basavaraj shall forever fly high like a flag in the history of anti-imperialist and anti-reactionary struggles!
Together with all the Maoist comrades of India and Maoists around the world, we vow to continue his path with unwavering determination, organization, and class consciousness.
Down with imperialism and reaction!
Long live the people’s resistance!
Naxalbari will never die!
Long live the name and path of Basavaraj!
With full military honors and internationalist solidarity
