Karimnagar, Jan 09 - The banned People's War may soon change the party name as All India Maoist Communist Centre and acquire a more militant `avatar' by merging with the Maoist Communist Centre which has a sizable presence in Bihar and Jharkhand.
The basic thrust of the unified new party would be fighting globalisation and liberalisation in the changed international scenario. In fact, these two extremist parties have been working in tandem for the last several years and have an identical ideology.
Though unity talks between these two organisations has been on the cards for over two years, they took a concrete shape only after the recent mediation of another north based Marxist-Leninist (ML) outfit, Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM).
According to sources, the MCC which is currently holding talks with PWG and a few other ML organisations in India as well as adjoining Nepal is ready to soften its militancy and work together with other parties. The MCC is known for earlier version of `Charu Mazumdar line which looks down upon an ML party having mass organisations. Though PWG too held a similar view till early 1980s, it changed the stance and opened up for front organisations.
The top leadership of the three organisations PWG, MCC and RIM, comprising their central committee members, have originally planned to hold a congress last October to formalise the merger but it did not take place. According to sources, the tentative time of the congress has now been fixed in March/April this year at an unspecified location in the country. The RIM leadership, which has been acting as a mediator for strengthening the revolutionary movement in the country, has assured both the organisations to provide full security for the participants in the meeting.
