New revolutionary group SOREPA floated-I
Source: The Sangai Express

Imphal, October 03 2021: A new revolutionary group christened as Socialist Revolution Party Kangleipak (SOREPA) has been formed with a vision to take forward the revolutionary movement under a right system that is suitable to the state of affairs of Kangleipak/Manipur.

In a press communique, convenor of SOREPA internal central committee and ex vice-chairman of KYKL, Toijam Ibochou said that the revolutionary movement of Kangleipak was founded on the notion of Kanglei/Manipuri Nationalism.

Saying that love of the motherland alone cannot bring independence for any society or a Nation, Ibochou continued that, inter alia, following a revolutionary doctrine and conceiving a scientific socialist thought are pre-requisite for a revolutionary group to go ahead with their movement.

According to the statement, SOREPA is formed by ex-cadres of KYKL.

Without mentioning any name in particular, Ibochou stated a certain group seems to have forgotten that "we must proceed our movement by conserving the identities of every Kanglei/Manipuri based on the ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

"The command of weapons and money could suppress the revolutionary movement for a while and only a group with no sense of revolutionary logic submit to such influences but those who have been dedicatedly carrying forward the movement cannot be waylaid," he added.

SOREPA was established with a vision to fight for the independence of Kangleipak/Manipur in the WESEA region along with the right-minded groups, he said.

Further stating that Manipur and India are very different in many aspects such as food habits, socio-economic condition and ways of life among others, Ibochou contended that establishing a sovereign Kangleipak/Manipur based on an egalitarian society and safeguarding all the differences is the goal of SOREPA.

Maintaining that scientific socialism based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism will be their political doctrine, he reiterated that SOREPA was established to draw the people of Manipur/Kangleipak towards the revolutionary movement.

He, on the other hand, claimed that SOREPA will not indulge in activities that would be detrimental to the good relationship among the revolutionary groups and will continue to respect KYKL which they left due to the difference of opinions.

Ibochou also lauded the KYKL for giving them (cadres of SOREPA) the key experience of a revolutionary movement.

Declaring that to set up an independent Kangleipak/Manipur based on socialism is their ultimate goal, he added that it is impossible for the revolutionary group which doesn't aspire to build an independent society that is suitable to Manipur/Kangleipak to realise what they are fighting for.

"It is self-evident from decades of experience that taking forward the revolutionary movement with the people is not possible if a group, even if it aspires greatly, doesn't notice the interdependence between their movement and scientific socialism," Ibochou continued.

Asserting that there should be no room for hypocrisy in the fight for socialism, he added that any group will go astray from the path of the revolutionary movement if it becomes a chancer.

Ibochou asserted that the group which actively participates in the electoral politics of India and practises nepotism but speaking otherwise is not fit to carry on the revolutionary movement.

Conveying that "our society embraces an ethnocultural /multicultural identity based on a socio-cultural characteristic, '' he reiterated that "Socialism with federal characteristic" is their precept.

Ibochou also stated the people of Kangleipak are preserving their unique cultural identity for ages.

Continuing that Manipur/Kangleipak doesn't belong to a particular group and was administered by a federal polity based on "multicultural ethnic identity for decades, Ibochou maintained that the concept of federal socialism which was imbibed in the administrative set up of every community seems to have lost its ways after Kangleipak/Manipur was allegedly occupied by India.

Claiming that India is employing a divide and rule policy among the people of Manipur, Ibochou contended that those who don't understand historical dialectics can't take the movement forward for social change.
