Contd from previous issue
IMPHAL, Nov 25: To be able to take the responsibility together with a sense of sacrifice, building unity among the Meiteis is imperative. On the other hand, given the respective aspirations of the indigenous people/communities, building unity will not be easy. Therefore, at this crucial juncture of Manipur and its indigenous people, the realization of the historical destiny of interdependent coexistence becomes imperative so as to defeat together the evil designs of India’s divide and destroy policy, read the statement issued by the Koireng-led UNLF’s Central Committee.
Second, the main responsibility of defeating India’s plan of hijacking the National struggle by the India-created Kuki-Meitei ethnic conflict falls on the revolutionary organisations. Because, the main task of sharpening the irreconcilable contradiction between Manipur and India (since 1949) falls on the revolutionary organisations and the main task of sharpening the National contradiction must be to engage the Indian armed forces and other supporting arms of the alleged Indian colonial rule.
Therefore, engaging the Indian armed forces in all possible ways is the path to liberate Manipur from the alleged Indian colonial rule and also to save the indigenous people/communities from the floodgates of illegal immigrants.
Third, India’s trap is to distract the revolutionary organisations to the ‘Kuki-Meitei laan’ so as to puncture the core issue of sovereignty and independence of the Manipur-India Conflict.
Therefore, in this India-sponsored ‘Kuki Laan’ the Meiteis should not conduct exclusively from a Meitei-centric perspective, because that would tantamount to helping the Indian plan to break-up Manipur.
Meiteis should be conscious about their historical responsibility of building the foundation for inter-dependent coexistence among the indigenous people/communities, it said.
It then called upon today’s Meiteis to be the ‘Manipur Macha’ capable of taking their historical responsibility.
Fourth, in order to revive the economy shattered by India’s anti-Manipur conspiracy, some absolutely necessary steps should be taken, such as: (1) To reduce the huge outflow of money on imports from India, except essential commodities and construction materials, all other non- essential items should be restricted; (2) to ban construction companies to bring non skilled labour from India; (3) to ban Indian companies from mining Manipur’s mineral resources; (4) to spread the campaign for ‘Chinjak ta Meepan Taangdaba’ (self reliance on food).
A mass movement for laying the foundation of Manipur’s new economy shall create a collective culture of interdependent coexistence and development among all the indigenous people and communities of Manipur, said the Koireng-led UNLF’s Central Committee.
In the wake of the bloodshed caused by the India-created conflict and the resultant extreme hardships, the common people have openly voiced that they want to exist as free and independent people.
This desire for independence is the outcome of India’s repressive policies.
The repressive method that India will employ to suppress the cry for independence will in turn create conditions that will strengthen the revolutionary forces, it said.
“Thus, we firmly believe that along with other factors maturing, our revolutionary forces will acquire the strength to overthrow the alleged Indian colonial rule”, it asserted.
This is the dialectics of liberation, the historical force that overthrew colonialism in the world. This is the historical process that will happen in Manipur and other parts of WESEA.
However, the important question is, if the revolutionary forces fail to take conscious action to build revolutionary unity and consolidate indigenous people/communities, the historical opportunity will be missed and the outfit is acutely aware of it, the Central Committee continued.
Today, Indian colonial policies of repression have turned Manipur into a mass graveyard, created chaos, cries of mourning and the people’s sufferings reverberate everywhere, people have no work, cannot harvest paddy, and common people are starving, it alleged.
It went on to allege that all these are the intended effects of India’s colonial repression to subject the people of Manipur into submission to eternal colonial slavery.
“The unfolding situation is a historical moment that is prompting us to take the National stand for an independent Manipur so that our indigenous people/communities can coexist together and build a socialist society”, the Central Committee asserted.
On the occasion of the outfit’s 60th anniversary, the Central Committee extended warm greetings with revolutionary salute to all party cadres and members, officers and private soldiers of MPA and the Manipuri diaspora spread across the world.
It also greeted all the uprooted victims of armed Kuki aggressors lodged in relief camps, comrades in enemy prisons, and handicapped victims of torture by Indian armed forces.
The Central Committee further conveyed best wishes to all the revolutionary organisations of Manipur fighting together against the alien rule, fraternal revolutionary organisations of WESEA, civil society organisations, Meira Paibi Emas, and student organisations
The Central Committee also offered the highest revolutionary respect to the departed founding leaders, party cadres, all the patriots of Manipur who laid down their life fighting the enemy, and to all compatriots who lost their life due to inhuman torture by Indian armed forces.
The outfit will continue the National struggle even more vigorously and relentlessly along the path they have shown until final victory, it concluded.
