'Policy of Indian state to gag and suppress people of Manipur' : MSAD
03rd September, 2018 ; Delhi
Manipur is at it again, a geo-political space where one of the sharpest contradictions of the Indian state lies. The Indian Government is now desperate to further penetrate its colonial grip over Manipur.
The political agent that is AP Pandey sent from Delhi has assumed all the authority in his hand and has come to Manipur University abrogating and nullifying the MoU signed between the Government of India through its MHRD and Manipur University community represented by students, teachers and staffs, MUSU, MUTA and MUSA respectively on 16th August 2018 in presence of Manipur CM Nongthombam Biren, Chief Secretary and Education Minister. The self appointment of the Hindu Brahmin agent is only possible because of the impunity and freehand given to him by the Delhi government. This is a clear insult not only to MU but to the Manipur public as a whole. The attitude that is of fascism is reflected in the undemocratic step of banning MUSA and MUTA.
The Delhi government represented by the Hindu fanatic organization BJP/RSS is in the mission of destroying the social fabric of Manipur. It is in the task of contriving a divide between the hill and the valley community to serve its own political agenda. We have been witnessing various conflicting voices emerging out of Manipur which clearly is a result of the BJP ploy to counter the people’s legitimate struggle.
The Government of Manipur led by CM Nongthombam Biren has become a mockery in front of the people of Manipur and the seemingly all powerful AP Pandey. It is such a shame that the CM of Manipur is now a mere spectator in the whole drama designed from Delhi. The CM of Manipur is a mere puppet figure kept in Manipur which is now crystal clear, an insult to himself and Manipur.
In the present movement there has been a lack of addressing the larger political relation between Manipur and India from the stakeholders of the movement, and this constitutes the inherent weakness of the movement. Stakeholders from inside the Manipur University should stop seeing the struggle merely as between the MHRD and the university.
We hereby call upon all the people of Manipur to raise their voices collectively against the Hindu fanatic government and the ever existing policy of the Indian state to gag and suppress the people of Manipur.
