A letter from the Maoists has sparked a debate in the Telugu states. The letter, released last night, claims that the Maoist group is temporarily halting its armed struggle. The Maoist Party Central Committee, represented by Abhay, said they would hold internal discussions before deciding whether to join peace talks within a month.
The controversy grew when BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari reacted to the letter. He praised Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming this marks a victory. This raised suspicions about the letter’s authenticity, with some questioning whether it was fabricated by the police or a faction within the Maoist party.
A key point of suspicion is the inclusion of Abhay’s photo in the letter. It is the first time such a photo has appeared. Critics suggest this could signal a shift in party ideology, especially after internal disputes within the Maoist group. Some believe the photo indicates that Abhay supports peace talks.
