An open letter was released in the name of Anant, the official spokesperson of the Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh (MMC) Special Zonal Committee.  “We support the recent decision taken by our party’s Central Committee and politburo member Comrade Sonu Dada to temporarily suspend the armed struggle by laying down arms in view of the changing situation in the country and the world.  Central Committee members Satish Dada and Chandranna have recently supported this decision. The MMC Special Zonal Committee also intends to lay down arms.  However, we request the governments of the three states to give us time till February 15.

As our party is committed to the principles of democratic centralism, it will take us some time to collectively reach this decision.  We need time to consult our colleagues and convey these messages to them in a systematic manner.  There is no other motive for asking for this time.  We are asking for this period because we do not have any other easy means to communicate quickly.  Security forces should stop their activities.  We will not organize PLGA Week.  We assure you that we will stop all our activities,” the letter stated.  (Maxim News)
