Imphal, June 01 2019: The political parties including both in the ruling and opposition, and academia had often expressed the catchwords "Cooperative Federalism, Sub-Nationalism, Shared Sovereignty, Constituent Diplomacy, Para-Diplomacy, Sub-National Diplomacy" which highlight the necessity to review and rewrite Centre-State relation both internally and externally, continued the outfit's Chairman L Paliba.

It even said that a separate 'State Division' is being created in foreign affairs department with a participatory role in foreign affairs by the States.

Many leaders had outrightly expounded that the National Government should not rule the country with more centralized powers.

Many regional leaders demand and seek more political powers, even special status, to protect their regional aspirations and identities.

Nowadays, many political thinkers say India is not a Nation-State, it should be rather a State-Nation.

British recommended new India should have a Central Government with limited power in defense, foreign affairs, communication and finance while other remaining subjects should be empowered to Provinces and States; Centre should not exercise their power irrespective of State's assent.

In addition to that, it was also suggested that any State or Province can determine their political status as either independent or autonomous and there should not be political interference in this regard, reads the statement.

However, there is not a word related to "Right to Self-Determination" in Indian Constitution, rather it is written as India can be expanded which is explicitly mentioned in Article 2.Sikkim was annexed under this article.

Indian armies killed much smaller armies of Sikkim and occupied Sikkim's monarch.

To cover up such unlawful occupation "The Sikkim Referendum" was organized, in which many Indians were allowed to participate in voting which ultimately succeeded in the nefariously designed "Merger Referendum".

Merger of Sikkim into the Union of India is the gifted success history of the so called RAW, it alleged.

China has been empowering Hong Kong and Macau in many economic and political rights under "One Country Two Systems policy".

They have self-administration with vast resources at their disposal.

China had taken up "Open Coastal Cities" and "US-China Governors Forum" under new economic policy in line with para-diplomacy.

British Columbia opened 11 Trade Missions in foreign countries, which earned a huge income for Canada.

Quebec Province was allowed to hold referendum to secede from Canada and it has many autonomous provisions for self rule.

Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland which are parts of the United Kingdom (UK), have their own separate Parliament and Assemblies with seceding power, it said.

However, despite vast diversity in customs, traditions, values, social settings, history etc, India still does not realize the necessity of establishing many smaller independent nations around the so called Indian Sub-continent like the European Union (EU).

India-Manipur conflict is a political conflict and the reason for taking up arms is to fight against troops sent by Government of India.

Now time has come for India to decide the fate of every State either to keep them inside the Union of India or to give them the Right to Self- Determination.

The new decision will help in achieving peace, love, development and good independent neighbours, it asserted.

The outfit added that an independent Kangleipak can only be achieved after vehement revolutionary struggle.
