Bharat is a country built on oppressing smaller Nations: RPF-II

IMPHAL, Sep 25: India's support for Awami League is not a recent development, it dates back to the time when Bangladesh was formerly East Pakistan.
Prior to the most recent election, the then General Secretary of the Awami League, during a visit to India openly acknowledged that the party was able to rule only because of India's support.
His statement sparked a major controversy in Bangladesh at that time, the RPF acting president asserted in his statement.
Under the pretext of suppressing the "insurgents" from the "North East Region" and "Islamist Extremists", they allowed Indian spy agencies to operate freely in various districts of Bangladesh.
With India's support, the Awami League began governing the country in a manner resembling a police state.
Members of the Opposition parties were imprisoned, subjected to clandestine killings and enforced disappearances, exiled to various countries, and faced numerous other actions, effectively eliminating those who opposed Sheikh Hasina, it said.
Awami League forcibly conducted the last election without any opposition, and subsequently, began ruling in a manner reminiscent of a dictatorship, it continued.
The dissatisfaction with the regime’s authoritarianism and Indian influence reached such an intolerable level, sparking a student-led protest that quickly evolved into a movement to overthrow the regime.
True to her dictatorial nature, Sheikh Hasina resorted to force and violence, leading to the loss of hundreds of civilian and student lives.
The scale of violence and death, unseen since the Bangladesh Independence war, galvanized the population, prompting many to join the uprising and further intensify the movement.
In an attempt to control the situation, Sheikh Hasina deployed the army but the Bangladesh Army refused to comply, taking a stand against shooting students and civilians. This refusal ultimately sealed Sheikh Hasina's fate, the statement read.
Among Sheikh Hasina's actions to appease India, one was the signing of an extradition agreement with India on July 28, 2016.
Following this agreement, many cadres including the revolutionary leaders from the "North East" were arrested and extradited to India. In response to Sheikh Hasina's prior action done under the extradition agreement, the people of Bangladesh have now began demanding her return to the country.
In an article titled "Bangladesh Free from Indian Rahu", published in a reputed Bangladeshi newspaper, the issue was raised that even the "Freedom Fighters of Manipur" were handed over to India under the previous agreement. Therefore, the article questioned, why should Sheikh Hasina not be handed back to Bangladesh in the same manner, MM Ngouba quoted.
Contrary to respecting the interests of Bangladesh and its people, India, as per its character, persisted its nefarious activities.
Inflammatory statements were circulated widely, suggesting if Bangladesh attempted to strengthen ties with China, India would expand its "Chicken Neck" corridor and reignite disruption again in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) by supporting the insurgents, or even push for the integration of CHT into India's "North East".
Furthermore, India unashamedly expressed that had they occupied Bangladesh after defeating Pakistan in the 1971 war, the current crisis in Bangladesh would never have arisen.
In the most recent attempt to threaten Bangladesh, India's Defence Minister stated that, given the situation in Bangladesh, the Indian Army should make preparations for war, it said.
It alleged that India is driven exclusively by territorial ambition and lacks any genuine intention to respect the diverse groups or communities within or beyond its border.
“It would be a grave mistake if our people still believe that a country with such a corrupt mindset will deliver justice and alleviate our sufferings. Rather than easing our struggles, it is highly likely that we will encounter an even worse situation, one that could render us beyond recovery”, the statement read.
Warning that the people will face even greater hardships if Manipur continues to remain under Indian rule, the RPF acting president alleged that India is solely driven by its greed for land with no concern for the safety and prosperity of the people of this region.
“It remains a country that cannot shed its colonial mindset. In this pivotal moment, where we can no longer turn away, I humbly convey this message to march forward in unison, bearing the torch of revolution to liberate our people”, the statement concluded.
