Regional Maoists meet in Rajshahi over next plan

Anwar Ali, Rajshahi
Underground Maoist operatives yesterday launched a three-day meeting in an unknown part of Rajshahi division, in anticipation of this year's annual conference of the Coordination Committee of Maoists Parties and Organisations in South Asia (CCOMPOSA), to be held in Bangladesh.
"We are sitting today somewhere along the Bangladeshi frontier with India in Rajshahi division to hold the CCOMPOSA meeting successfully," confirmed an advisory level leader of Purba Banglar Communist Party's (PBCP Marxist-Leninist) Red Flag faction.
During a cell phone call, the anonymous Rajshahi regional leader informed that two delegates from India, one of them from Naxalbari, the very birthplace of the Maoist guerrilla movement, were attending the meeting.
South Asian Maoists will hold an 11-day long 4th meeting of CCOMPOSA somewhere along the Bangladeshi frontier with India by December this year. Some 50 delegates around South Asia are likely to attend, shaping future strategies.
The 17-day long third meeting was held somewhere in Jharkhand in India last year.
The CCOMPOSA is a combine of left-wing extremist organisations in four South Asian countries -- Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
The PBCP has been reorganizing in the northwestern region for what they termed, 'avenging state-sponsored atrocities on people so far' by law enforcing agencies and Bangla Bhai's Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh.
As part of this, they recently trained 35 cadres from Bhutan in bomb techniques and guerrilla warfare using sophisticated arms, including AK-47s. Indian separatist rebels ULFA and KLO imparted the week-long training to over 150 operatives around South Asia.
Their recent posters, put up on the occasion of the 33rd death anniversary of Naxalite movement founder Charu Majumder, called for an 'Extension of the existing drive of eliminating class enemies to attacks on state machineries'.
The PBCP men are frequently visiting areas and collecting money, according to sources. "The PBCP men collected money from two businessmen in Sakoa and Baroihati in Bagmara a few weeks ago," said a witness.
Mastar Da and Rakesh Kamal have now been leading the largest Red Flag faction since its split from the Mofakkhar Chowdhury group in the mid 90s.
Dr Rafikul Islam, also known as Tutul Daktar and Alam, Bikash Ranjan, Tara Pada Roy, Atul Biswas, Titas, Fazel, Ratan, Titas, Tara and Abu Sayeed Maker are accompanying him.
The group killed some 50 political leaders, businessmen and landlords in a span of ten years. They have been hiding since the anti-outlaw operations by JMJB beginning in April last year.
"People here are hostage to the operatives. They hardly trust law enforcing agencies, which never proved sincere", said Rafiqul Islam, a resident of Taherpur in Bagmara.
The law enforcing agencies here, however, said there was nothing to be worried about as they were closely monitoring the situation.
