Imphal, April 23 2023:
The proscribed People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak-Progressive (PREPAK-Pro) has categorically stated that the 'Home-coming ceremony' organised periodically by government is nothing but a play (drama) to fool people by parading timid revolutionaries and such ceremonies cannot determine socio-economic and political development of Manipur.
According to a PREPAK-Pro statement, timid revolutionaries are ready to yield to the government's gesture but people must be aware about the financial footfalls awaiting the government through such timid revolutionaries.
Instead of wasting time and energy on such policy, it would be better for the government to make efforts towards bringing peace and harmony in the state and resolve the ongoing differences amongst ruling MLAs, who had assured of bringing development in their respective assembly constituencies before the election just like CM Biren.
It is quite contradictory for a leader to talk about peace and development when the leader is unable to resolve differences amongst the ruling MLAs, the PREPAK-Pro statement issued by its media coordinator Lanchenba said.
While asking the government to be aware about the monthly and yearly monetary assistance provided by the party to families of the timid revolutionaries as also housing and medical assistance which the government cannot provide, the statement contended that it would be helpful for the government to make timid revolutionaries successful people if able to unearth the amount of assistance provided to them.
The outfit also reminded the government that the foundation of peace in the land was already broken by the illegal Merger Agreement of 1949 and there cannot be development without autonomy in Fiscal and Monetary policy.
Even though the Indian political system provides some power to states in the fiscal policy, states are not given power for implementation of the monetary policy, the PREPAK-Pro said, adding that development cannot be assessed with the number of homecoming ceremonies organised for timid revolutionaries.
