Do not shift Kangla to Delhi: PREPAK (Pro)-I
Source: The Sangai Express

Imphal, October 09 2020: Categorically stating that Kangla is the administrative and political capital of Kangleipak whereas Delhi is the alleged colonial capital, the proscribed PREPAK (Pro) has asked political leaders of the State not to make any attempt to shift Kangla to Delhi.

A statement issued by PREPAK (Pro) chairman L Paliba M on the occasion of the 44th raising day of its Red Army (October 9) asserted that frequent visit by political leaders to Delhi to cede political and administrative power means rooting out the importance of Kangla in near future.

The place of judgment for political crises, political discourses, and developmental discussion should be at Kangla which had been deeply ingrained with spiritual insights of 'our ancestors', according to the PREPAK (Pro) chairman.

The civilization of a Nation is shown by its oral and written history of ancestor's belief regarding cosmological creation, human evolution, religious philosophy, genealogy, toponymy, language, scripts, politics, administration and its culture.

Such civilizational historical components of Kangleipak are well documented orally or in written.

The ancient books namely Leithak Leikharon, Shakok Lamlen, and many others which explain the cosmology, religious and social philosophy are not inferior to the Vedas.

Sanamahism which is the main religion and spiritual beliefs of Kanglei society is based on truth and justice in universal values.

The civilizational history of Kangleipak is uniquely different from the Indian history which is acknowledged by the think-tank of Delhi.

This is the reason behind the recent co-option of the Maharaja which is to be included in the fake historical setting of India, read the statement.

The Manipur State Congress Committee (MSCC), which had led a strong agitation to merge Manipur/Kangleipak into the Indian Union, wrote a letter to then Home Minister GB Pant in 1960 .

The substance of the letter was, if the legitimate political status of Manipur was denied, the people would think that the Government of India appreciated only the logic of violence or they might be forced to think so.

Furthermore, Manipur Territorial Congress Committee (MTCC) which was incarnated from MSCC wrote a Statehood demand letter in 1968, addressed to then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Mr Nijalingapa, president of INC.

The letter stated that the Indian Government did not respect the long history of Manipur as shown by dilly-dallying attitude of the Centre in granting Statehood, and a stage had been reached for a big political revolution.

Recollecting all these narratives it must be known why the present armed groups have taken up the paths of armed, political revolution, Paliba said.

Allowing Indians to elect their own representatives under adult franchise does not mean India is a real democratic country or a republic.

Undemocratic actions like demonetization, restrictions on media, branding of dissenters as un-Indian, abrogation of Article 370 and the packing of the independent democratic institutions with Government loyalists expose that the Government of India has reached the level of 'electoral dictatorship and elected autocracy', it alleged.

According to World 2020 and RSP report, India's Freedom ranking and Press Freedom Index stood at 83rd and 142nd respectively in the world.

As per these indices, there is alarming erosion of civil liberties in India.

"We should not live any further under such despotic rulers", said the chairman.
