The CPI Telangana State Committee has declared a six-month ceasefire, effective immediately, while renewing its appeal for peace talks with the government.
In a press release dated May 5, 2025, signed by Comrade Jagan, spokesperson for the CPI Telangana State Committee, the Maoist party announced the ceasefire, citing public demand to halt Operation Kagaar.
In the statement, Comrade Jagan noted that the recent casualties prompted the party to seek de-escalation to avoid further losses. The statement also referred to the growing calls from democratic groups, people’s organizations, and political parties for dialogue over violence.
Comrade Jagan referred to statements by Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who expressed openness to dialogue, and BRS leaders K Chandrasekhar Rao and K Kavitha, who also echoed similar sentiments.
Comrade Jagan emphasized that dialogue is a democratic tool to resolve conflicts and foster peace. He noted that intellectuals and hundreds of organizations have joined the chorus for negotiations. To create a conducive atmosphere, the guerrillas have committed themselves to the ceasefire, urging the government to reciprocate by initiating talks through a peace committee, formed to facilitate dialogue.
