SoO groups executing state-sponsored terrorism: RPF-III
Source: Chronicle News Service

Imphal, September 26 2023: India has also demonstrated its willingness to cooperate by entering into bilateral and multilateral agreements that encompass provisions for intelligence sharing, capacity building, extradition, and collaborative efforts in the fight against terrorism.

It is indeed surprising that India insists on its partners adhering to these agreements while showing no intention of honouring them itself.

While serving a two-year sentence following their arrest by the Myanmar army, 22 revolutionary comrades, including 12 from Manipur and 10 from Assam, were granted clemency by the then President of Myanmar, U Win Myint.

They were subsequently handed over to India on May 15, 2020, in accordance with India's request.

However, when Myanmar requested that India extradite the Kuki People's Democratic Front (PDF) members, including one fugitive from Myanmar who later assumed a leadership role within a Kuki group that had signed the Suspension of Operation (SoO) agreement with India, India did not comply.

These events have raised questions about India's sincerity in its commitment to combat terrorism, Ngouba maintained.

According to RPF acting president, the 'State-sponsored terrorism' in Manipur is bound to exert a significant and destructive influence on various facets of society, international law, and the global economy.

The enduring social repercussions stemming from the loss of lives, displacement, and pervasive atmosphere of fear are twofold.

First, there will be a lasting social and cultural division, resulting in lingering mistrust and discord among communities.

Second, the individuals and communities affected will continue to bear the weight of trauma and anxiety for a long time to come.

India may not evade the repercussions of transgressing the principles of International Law, including sovereignty, peaceful relations, and non-interference in other states, as delineated by the United Nations, alongside other legal frameworks such as the International Humanitarian Law, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine of the United Nations.

There are also abundant instances of India causing harm to global economic foundations.

The acts of political and economic extortion carried out by armed groups in Manipur, operating with the support of the Indian government, along sections of the Asian Highway that hold significant importance in the global economy, are undeniably harmful.

In addition to the territorial boundaries of Manipur, India has orchestrated extortion and blockades along the section of the Asian Highway from Tamu to Khampat by leveraging Kuki armed groups.

State-sponsored terrorism by India along the Asian Highway section in Manipur and the Sagaing Division has impeded the developmental objectives of the Asian region, and this hindrance is likely to persist in the future.

The proverbial cherry on top of the cake is the endorsement of extortion by the Kuki armed groups at Moreh, a vital border trade port, by the Assam Rifles.

This not only constitutes an act of financing terrorism but also leads to significant disruption in international trade and investment.

The 'State-sponsored terrorism' conducted by India in Manipur can indeed serve as a textbook example.

The period during which we have endured as an occupied nation is relatively brief when considered within the context of Manipur's long history.

However, the way our people were compelled to lead such a dismal life with fading hope during this brief period is undeniably disheartening.

It would not be incorrect to anticipate that India will inflict further pain and suffering upon our people in the days ahead.

The deliberate use of weapons against unarmed women protesters by the Indian security forces serves as a clear and unambiguous response.

All Indian security forces, including the Assam Rifles, share identical objectives; it's merely a question of who will be the first to act.

Our teachers imparted the wisdom that preparation in times of peace can prevent the shedding of much blood in times of war.

It is said that one side in the current conflict has failed to make any preparations.

The statement does contain an element of truth, but the situation worsened due to the influence of certain individuals who, as a result of the Indianization process, attempted to undermine the forces that would be invaluable in the future.

The adversary seized this inopportune moment to launch an attack on the people.

In the current circumstances, retreat is not an option; our only recourse is to stand together, fight as one, and advance steadfastly toward a victorious conclusion.

The solution to the current situation lies in the people s ability to overcome and triumph over this sorrowful state, which will ultimately pave the way for the foundation of a new Manipur, MM Ngouba observed.

While asserting that the responsibility to safeguard our people and the motherland rests equally on each and every one of us, and, if we fail to adequately prepare in line with that responsibility it would be akin to betrayal, M Ngouba said the outfit is pleased to report the successful completion of the initial phase of skills training provided to people for self-defense, conducted by the cadres of RPF and the PLA.

Furthermore, he strongly encouraged people to seize this advantageous opportunity and actively participate in the preparations, which will ultimately serve as best defense against any future malicious intentions of the enemy.

Stressing the need to improve strategies and methods for defense which includes the development and production of weapons, Ngouba said knowledgeable individuals and technology professionals should take the initiative and lead in this field.

He further said that the people must accurately interpret the significance of the phrase 'unity is strength' and should make every effort and utilize all available resources to strengthen united struggle and empower the people in fulfilling their responsibilities.

Concluding his message, MM Ngouba said we have come to the realization that there is no one to protect us and accordingly let us march forward together, bearing the spirit of responsibility, prepared to defend our people and our homeland.

This is right path and the path to victory, he concluded the message.
