People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (Progressive) today observes the 47th Raising Day of the Red Army of PREPAK(Progressive).
On the occasion, Chairman of the proscribed group, Longjam Paliba M, paid revolutionary salute to those who had sacrificed their lives while safeguarding our motherland in the prevailing conflict. In a statement the PREPAK (Pro) also shares the grief and sorrow of those families affected from the injuries, harm, and missing of their love ones during this unfortunate crisis and also showed gratitude to those brave volunteers and women who are defending our motherland in these woeful days.
In a statement, the Chairman of PREPAK (Pro), Longjam Paliba M has appealed to consolidate unity of the Meitei leaving behind the discord to fight the newly emerging enemy supported by powerful subordinated lobbies from inside and outside India.
It said, “Knowing our strategic disadvantages in terms of location and sparse population, we must remember the quote of General George S. Patton ‘The object of the war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his’. In other words we must highlight our battle plan so as to let others die more for their evil thinking”.
It added, “The statement by the PREPAK (Pro) further said that without knowing the toponymy of Manipur the Media house and Fact-finding team of India would not comprehend the root-causes of the current crisis. The origin and establishing history of now devastated villages would be helpful to identify who are the new settlers and indigenous villagers. The cultural and ritual history of Manipur clearly exhibits the interconnected wholeness of the forest of plain and surrounding hills. Those, who attempted to annihilate these facts, are exposed themselves as ‘other people’ to the soil as they don’t regard and intentionally misunderstand our aged old history. It is also fact that the current conflict is sparked off by those syndicates of ‘Intellectual Terrorist’ who had educated deviously by taking the support and benefit from the government and the missionary.
These educated and criminal elites are attempting to heighten their baleful political demand by misleading and instigating bloodshed between the two communities costing innocent lives. They are acting like ‘Politicalised Ambulance Chasers’ who always seek the benefit of lawsuit to justify their factitious narratives and political demands.
“The Indian administrators have been executing the electoral politics by imitating the once infamous British divisive policy. The prejudiced policy such as the awarding excessive benefit to a particular community in view of vote-bank had sown the evil seed which grows to become the ‘Ethnic Frankenstein’. The existing unfortunate and pervasive bloodshed is the outcome while combating the Delhi-adopted Frankenstein. The Indian Occupation Forces, the oppressors of Meitei community popularly known as IOFs in short, are treated as ‘Indian Organising Force’ by the Zo-Kuki’s SoO groups. Our ‘Dharma: Duty’ is now obviously bound to fight against those who endeavour to fragment our motherland Manipur. The on-going crisis is the war of truth as it is against those new settlers who have been attempting to hegemonize geo-economically inside our own motherland.
“The colonialist British earned a huge capital in Opium Trade, India followed suit in practice. India, only in the world is allowed to produce medicinal opium gum. If anybody spit on the soil of Manipur a beautiful flower or banana plant will spring up, and so, noticing such golden land, the big pharmaceutical companies along with central forces might have undertaken the poppy plantation, who knows? Narco-terrorism is not a new buzzword; it was effectively used by the British colonialist. Later, India has weaponized it in internal colonization. In real sense, the so-called ‘SoO’ is now becoming the ‘Suspension of organism of Manipur’ with the objective of chalking out the ethnic-based political triangle which needs to be resisted strongly.
“The ‘World Order’ led by the then superpower British were challenged with Anglo-Manipuri War and Two Nupi Laan in Manipur. These two events embarrassed the British, and so they always wanted to oppress and revenge the Meiteis. Without deeply understanding the ethos and body politics of WESEA’s people the British had written obsolete Secret Administrative Book of ways and means of administering of each ethnicity. However, India accepts the book as Sacred Bhagavad Gita. This might be the reason why the Indian Constitution belittled the Meiteis?
“The contribution of Manipur for India is innumerable. Today, Hindu Indian forgets that the invaders in India had driven out many Brahmin, who were welcomed and allowed to settle in Manipur. The Indian leaders failed to give attention that the Ras Lila, Nat-Sanskritan, Vishnu temple in Lamadong, the Meitei Hindu’s temple of Nabadwip and Brindavan were already there before Christianity reached Manipur. Anglicised Jawaharlal Nehru disparaged the Meiteis as being obsessed with dance and music, ignorant of administrative knowledge. He even felt that Meitei would not complain even the boundary are depleted. India has been despising us far too long knowing the fact that during the recent student protest Central forces heavily used tear gas, stun bomb and splinter bullet to cause bloodshed, as if they are playing with red powder and crackers in their festival and marriage ceremony. This is the reason why the insurgents don’t trust India.
“Blaming each other is Indian political conventional wisdom, but Meiteis are more inclined to play the blame-game. It is high time that the Meitei political idiots should wake up from addictive Indian political system, to stand firmly with people by stopping the habituated journey of ‘political pilgrimage to Delhi’. We, both insurgents and public, should also not follow the strategy of weakening and fragmentation of Manipur. Our party noticed the fact that there are unavoidable objectives and means in accordance with reality. Some intellectuals also appeal emotionally to start peace-talk process to build a strong Manipur politically. Their expression is nothing wrong as it apparently comes out of fizzle and non-achievement of the hitherto 50 years of armed struggle. However, we are ‘outlaw’ and small in numbers comparatively; the question is how far the Indian government has taken the acceptance of the justified democratic demands of the majority people on the existing crisis? And so, let us wait for panacea and exemplary answer.
