Imphal, August 12 2021:
The results of all these half baked approaches can today be seen in the numerous border disputes raging on amongst 9 States, alleged CorCom.
Even in Manipur due to the wily policies adopted, heated disputes are there today between different communities, between districts, between villages, and even between leikais, added CorCom.
Manipur (Kangleipak) had its own Constitution before the Constitution of India was born, said CorCom and added it was on this basis that adult franchise was held and a Constitutional monarchy was enforced, wherein the King remained only the ornamental head of the State.
It is however unfortunate that some bogus historians have been trying to distort the history of the land, alleged CorCom and quoting the accounts of some genuine historians, CorCom said that all the people used to be hill dwellers and it was only later that some descended to the valley and they later came to be called Meeteis/ Meiteis.
Manipur is the creation of both the hill and valley dwellers and its existence as a distinct, independent entity was known to all the Nations of south east Asia, added CorCom.
The stand off over land and boundary is the machination of others and fighting over the artificial creations of the outsiders will be to their advantage, cautioned CorCom.
As such it is best that the people of the land get together and talk things over to live together as one people, added the outfit.
The will to live in liberty should come from within and only then can the people rise as a distinct group of people in the comity of Nations, said CorCom and added that there is thus no reason why the people of Manipur should partake in the Independence Day celebration which stands boycotted.
