Imphal, February 26 2011:
Community/ethnicity based movements have resulted in divisions and conflicts of different degrees and types pulling the different communities apart from each other.
The situation has come to such a pass that Manipur as a whole has been caught in a serious turmoil and this situation is causing a serious drawback to the liberation movement of Manipur, Chaoren noted.
Observing that different organisations have been negotiating with the Government of India just to secure their communal aspirations, the outfit questioned whether some short term benefits doled out by India can guarantee welfare and dignified life to any community for posterity.
Viewed from this perspective, as many SoO may be signed and as many rounds of negotiation may be held, it is hard to expect any long term benefit for any community from such engagements with the alien rulers.
Rather, such engagements are only abetting India to continue their rule over all indigenous people of Manipur.
"At such a crucial period, it is imperative for all of us to remove the wedges being driven by India's alien rule cloaked in democracy, and unite together for a unified Manipur", Chaoren called out.
Observing that Manipur has become a land whose resources cannot meet its requirements, the outfit conveyed deep concern over the inability of Manipur to develop its resource bases according to increasing demands which has necessitated import of all essential goods from beyond the borders of Manipur.
Though it is a historical fact that Manipur was self-sustaining on its own resources, it is now a harsh reality that Manipur has degenerated to such a sorry state that many people cannot think about Manipur's survival without assistance from beyond its borders in almost all sectors.
