Chaoren asserts stand of RPF-II

Imphal, February 25 2016:
On another front, GoI's many sustained
policies and campaigns which
are all aimed at obscuring the
subjugated reality of the people
have been steadily
overwhelming Manipur.
But the main catchword to
be mentioned for all is "All
human beings want to live in
a developed and peaceful so-
cial livelihood".
Taking into due considera-
tion, the inseparable
connection between freedom
and progress, the people need
to ponder over the political
and socio-economic position
of Manipur in the face of the
all pervasive Finance Imperi-
alism.
Understanding the objec-
tive conditions of the people's
underdevelopment and GoI's
roles in sustaining and pro-
moting Finance Imperialism
would definitely shed more
light on the collective respon-
sibility of the people towards
bringing a successful revolu-
tion, added the RPF leader.
It may be safely assumed
that the people are living a
subjugated life under total
control of Finance Imperial-
ism.
One fundamental principle
of Finance Imperialism is
depriving the subjugated peo-
ple more and more through
rampant exploitation of their
land and resources and by
flooding them with industrial
products and giving loans and
grants from time to time
which only make the subju-
gated people more dependent
on Finance Imperialism.
To wage wars, terrorize
people, and repress mankind
for economic gains are com-
mon characters of all
exponents and agents of Fi-
nance Imperialism,
expounded the rebel leader.
After the British conquest
of Manipur in 1891, the eco-
nomic productivity of the
pople and land and people was
deliberately reduced.
Over the years, Manipur
was made dependent in all
economic aspects.
After the British colonial
rule was taken over by India
in 1949, a superstructure was
imposed upon Manipur, said
the statement.
"A new comprador class
who are enjoying trickle-
down benefits of the new
political system, education
system and all socio-eco-
nomic systems encompassed
by the superstructure has been
growing incessantly.
This comprador class and
their descendents have been
ultimately transformed into
collaborators or supporters of
the colonial rule and they are
looting our people.
GoI has been openly sup-
porting Finance Imperialism
since 1991.
They have been devising
several strategies in associa-
tion with multi-National
companies and international
monetary agencies with the
sole objective of economic ex-
ploitation," added Chaoren.
As a result the markets
have been completely flooded
and dominated by industrial
goods manufactured outside.
Everything we use in our
daily life starting from food
items to clothes, house con-
struction materials, means of
transport and communication,
medical equipment and medi-
cines, books and stationery
goods, sports materials, rec-
reational items are all products
of foreign countries particu-
larly India, added the
statement.
"In the absence of ad-
equate job opportunities
which is another manifesta-
tion of the many colonial
policies of economic depriva-
tion and subjugation, a large
number of our educated peo-
ple are working in different
metropolitan cities, far away
from our homeland.
At the same time, the
number of underprivileged
and impoverished people who
are dependent on funds and
grants doled out by GoI has
been increasing dramatically.
In the name of develop-
ment, super-rich capitalist
people have already started
acquiring total control over
our natural resources, moun-
tains, lakes, rivers,
agricultural lands, forests, un-
derground minerals, oil and
gas" claimed the RPF chief.
In this way, GoI has been
deliberately keeping the pro-
ductive capacity of Manipur
crippled and its economy
stunted.
