Solidarity Campaign against Operation Kagaar in Austria

We hereby share an unofficial translation of a report published by Die Rote Fahne – Austria.

From March the 23rd to 31st, an international solidarity campaign called out by the Indian organization FACAM (India: FACAM appeal for international solidarity) took place. Under the slogan “Stop Operation Kagaar – Support the Revolution in India!”, activities were developed against the Indian state’s campaign of annihilation.

Joint declaration of anti-imperialist and revolutionary organizations

In a statement released as part of the solidarity campaign by four initiatives and organizations (Joint Declaration on the International Solidarity Campaign: Stop Operation Kagaar! – Action for the Democratic Rights of the People, Arab Palestine Club, Venezuela Solidarity, and Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle), it states: “While the revolutionary movement faced severe blows last year, it is becoming increasingly clear that the more the war against the people intensifies, the more determined the resistance and defense of the people’s revolutionary goals become. The goal of ‘Operation Kagaar’, the final annihilation of the revolutionary and anti-imperialist movement, will not be achieved.”

In the statement, the signatories also criticize the recently concluded EU-India free trade agreement: “The imperialists of the EU are supporting this genocide. Their interest in even greater oppression, displacement, and the sell-off of the country’s resources was recently sealed by a new free trade agreement with India.”

Rally against “Operation Kagaar”

As part of an international show of solidarity, a rally took place on Vienna’s Mariahilfer Straße, where various organizations spoke out strongly against Operation Kagaar and Austria’s cooperation with the Hindu-fascist Modi regime. Also present was the “Anti-Imperialist League” (AIL), an international anti-imperialist organization whose founding is to take place shortly.

Event and lecture

As part of the campaign, an event was held that focused more closely on the genocidal Operation Kagaar. The organization FACAM (Forum against Corporatization and Militarization) from India and its work were also presented.
