Imphal, October 09 2021:
Chairman of the People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK-Progressive), L Paliba M has saluted and paid tributes to all the martyrs who had sacrificed their lives in the course of liberation movements on the occasion of the 45th Raising Day of the Red Army of the outfit.
The chairman of the outfit in a statement, also extended his deepest sympathy to those families, who have lost their loved ones during the pandemic and shared his views in connection with the day.
COVID-19 pandemic has been wreaking havoc in every aspect but amidst this pandemic some people are trying to unscrupulously exploit and dismantle the Kanglei society by indulging in narcotic trade, he noted.
They are the real enemies of society, he said and opined that efforts of civil society organisations to uplift the society will bear no fruit if these few persons are allowed to exist in the society.
On the genesis of India, the outfit's chairman said that outside invaders could easily occupy India due to frequent infighting among the Hindu Kingdoms.
There was no question of Nation or Nationalism during that period but it was just dynastic patriotism, he alleged.
Even the early stage of British occupation was welcomed by the 'Hindu Indian' as their saviour from the Muslim rulers.
No kingdom or empire could maintain a prolonged reign in India.
However, monarchism in Kangleipak had continued for over 2000 years.
India was created due to the conflict between the people and British colonialism.
However, there were diverse cultures, communities, and faiths among the so-called Indian people and the revolutionary movement of composite Nationalism was not mobilised robustly to dissipate the diversities, he said.
Palliba further observed that India's independence was handed over to the few Indians who had been perfectly inflicted with the British values and these 'British adopted Indian leaders' continued the same colonialist style of politics.
Without the National consciousness, the real independence could not spread among the peasants and workers, downgraded indigenous groups, and the ethnic minorities, the chairman alleged.
It is worth to note that the Dravidian leader EVR Periyar once said "Is the cat's rule Swarajya for the rat" which is becoming a true metaphor, he said and maintained that Kangleipak should not be a part of 'suppressive India' .
While India is dragging under the demonetization process, GST, 'Make in India' initiative, Bangladesh has been economically advancing more than India, he noted.
25 million jobs were lost during January-May 2021 and it is also a gloomy prospect that a generation might be wiped out by this pandemic, he said.
On the contrary, the world's largest political party BJP with 180 million memberships and its vast keyboard warriors have boastfully announced that 450 years ago the prophet Nostradamus had predicted that the Modi era would be a golden age not only for India but the whole world, he alleged.
Apart from that, the cult of Modi is so formidable that both coronavirus vaccine certificates and outgoing emails of NHRC bear the image of the Prime Minister.
Ironically, his photo is not printed on coronavirus death certificates, he said.
Palliba further noted that the essence of democracy is the free expression of opinion.
Recently, many Opposition leaders have protested strongly against the implantation of Pegasus Spyware on their mobile phones.
But there is something fishy about it as the issue has cooled down and there is an apprehension that the spyware might have muted the Opposition by collecting their disgraceful personal information, he said.
The famous wording "Big Brother is watching you" of George Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" is exactly similar with what is happening in India, he said while alleging that the Indian Government always crosses the personal space of its citizens.
The peculiar form of 'Deep State', in which the military and intelligent community play a major advisory role in public administration, is putatively evident in India, he said.
There are allegations that the intelligence agencies did not try to stop the Parliament attack in 2001, Godhra train burning in 2002, terrorist attack of Pulwama and Uri even though they had received convincing information in advance, he noted.
The outfit's chairman also sang praise of the development model of China and termed that development and growth of China has been a world's ideal.
The Chinese Government had implemented the people's livelihood policy by following the metaphorical proverb of "teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish" while India is playing policy of doles by distributing freebies, free rice, and a handful of money for electoral gains, he said.
The Government of India has been implementing more than twenty poverty alleviation programs starting from 'Garibi Hatao' but there is no meaningful decrease in poverty, he alleged.
The fact of the matter is that these socialist programmes are managed by those Ministers and bureaucrats who are being categorized as Champagne Socialists.
They can be called as Delhi Lutyens' socialists or Imphal Babupara's Socialists, he added.
