Maoists join hands against the US

Gaya, Aug 14 (UNI) Maoist insurgents of India and Nepal have joined hands against ''American interference'' in the internal affairs of countries, specially in South Asia, according to a Maoists release here.

Despite elaborate security arrangements and high alert on the eve of Independence day, the Maoists distributed a press release in the sensitive Gaya district announcing their joint strategy against ''proletarian internationalism''.

The release was signed jointly by Satya of Nepal Maoists and Azad, the spokesperson of Maoists of India.

Maoists in the two countries have pledged to oppose the the US policies saying, ''American agencies were directly intervening in suppression of Maoist movement in both India and Nepal.

''As part of their direct intervention the US had trained the Royal Nepal Army and even entered all spheres of the society to subvert the ongoing anti-monarchial movement. US diplomats are frequently visiting Chhattisgarh and military camps to supress the Maoists,'' the statement read.

The release also condemned Israel`s operations in Lebanon saying it had been 'sponsored by US'. ''In the name of attacking guerrila resistance, the Israeli regime, backed by America, have resorted to massacre killing about 1000 people and displacing 25 per cent of Lebanon's population. US' imperialist policies are becoming fiercer throughout the world and this is yet another adventure against an independent country,'' the statement noted.

In the release, the Moists stressed the need for taking up ideological, political and strategic issues jointly. Reasserting their firm unity in the spirit of ''proletarian internationalism'', the banned outfits vowed to shun their differences in the interest of international communist movement.

Earlier, the Maoists, active in Magadh range, had given a call to observe Independence day as ''black'' day.

In view of the call and suspecting Maoist violence, the administration had thrown a thick security cover breaking which the Maoists openly issued the release yesterday among the intelligentsia and the press.
