— Charu Mazumdar
The following message was sent by Comrade Charu Mazumdar to the Comrades of Punjab in the third week of April, 1971 :
From Liberation, April-June 1971.
Dear Comrades of Punjab,
You are continuing the struggle under the heaviest repression and most ruthless oppression by the ruling class. Your struggle is drawing admiration from all over India and giving us inspiration to continue the struggle. We must not forget martyrs like Comrade Daya Singh, Comrade Bhuja Singh and many others.
You have overcome your weaknesses despite severe repression. You have entrenched yourselves among the landless and poor peasants of Punjab who have been suffering from age-old oppression. You have been successful because you have consciously tried to follow the Thought of Chairman Mao, which is the only weapon with which we can overcome our difficulties and carry the struggle forward.
Rely upon the landless and poor peasants, release their initiative, and all the difficulties and obstacles will be removed.
This faith upon the basic masses is the cornerstone of our success, because the masses can function in various ways and their creative genius can do miracles.
Accept my revolutionary greetings and great admiration for you.
