Kolkata: The Maoists have for the first
time admitted that Kishenji's death has dealt a heavy blow to
their organisation and called upon the youth to join the
outfit.
Kishenji, a CPI (Maoist) central committee member, was
killed in an armed encounter with the Joint Forces in
Jangalmahal on November 24, last year.
In a release circulated among some TV channels, the
CPI (Maoist) central committee said that Kishenji's killing in
Jangalmahal had come as a ''a great blow'' to the organisation
and appealed to the youth to join the outfit ''to fulfil
Kishenji's cherished dream''.
The central committee asked its state unit in West
Bengal to initiate efforts to draw more youth to the
organisation.
