The banned CPI Maoists, operating from shadows for decades, depleting the country of its life blood, are apparently suing for peace - cornered after sustained crackdown by security forces. A month-old press note that recently surfaced has offered a unilateral and "temporary suspension of armed struggle", saying they are ready for peace talks with the Central government.
The note, dated August 15, 2025, accessed by NDTV, was issued by Maoist central spokesperson Abhay. It declares that they are ready to suspend violence for a month, during which peace talks can be initiated with a government-appointed committee.
