Imphal, November 22 2013 :
Even though peoples of Western South East Asia (WESEA) or the so called North East region are quite different from Indians in terms of their physical appearance, language, religion, culture, food habits etc, the Government of India has been following a sinister policy of forceful assimilation of the indigenous culture, tradition and religious practices into those of mainland Indians, alleged the proscribed RPF.
According to a pamphlet signed by the outfit's publicity secretary Roben Khuman and circulated to press, GoI has been deliberately keeping the region out of the development scope of India for the region is in reality nothing but a colony which is being exploited as a captive market.
Whereas WESEA shares 98 per cent of its boundaries with neighbouring countries, it shares just two per cent of its boundaries with India.
The region is connected to India by the 18 Kms wide Silliguri corridor also known as the 'chicken neck' .
Even though people of WESEA have no affinity with Indians, they were made Indians by circumstances or by force.
There are still many elderly people who grew up eating foods grown and found on the soil of Manipur but majority of the people are now living on meagre funds sanctioned by Delhi bandits and leftover or sub-standard food items sent by New Delhi.
RPF took up arms and launched the war of liberation with a conviction that the misery of the mass can be overcome only when Manipur is sovereign, it asserted.
New Delhi, in their efforts to project the revolutionary movement in wrong light, has been conniving with some black sheep of the land.
Even though GoI has not done anything for development of Manipur, local leaders of the puppet regime have been shouting harsh and loud that presence of armed revolutionary groups was impeding development in the region.
People are unable to speak out their minds for fear of the alien regime's repressive measures, two diplomatic cables intercepted by Wikileaks and published in the Assam Tribune on April 13, 2013 exposed the colonial policy being implemented by India in WESEA.
