Imphal, April 23 2023:
The proscribed PREPAK (Pro) has alleged that the frequent homecoming ceremonies hosted by the State Government with the help of pseudo or uncommitted revolutionaries are farces aimed at hoodwinking the people that there is high trajectory of economic development in the State.
A press release issued by the outfit's Media Coordinator Lanchenba said that those pseudo or uncommitted revolutionaries would have abandoned the path of revolution even if they were not called out by the Government.
It was rather ironic that the 'leader' was speaking about peace and development when he did not know how to keep his own MLAs on good terms, it said.
The State Government must know that the foundation of peace in Manipur/Kangleipak was destroyed by the alleged illegal Merger Agreement of 1949, it said.
There cannot be any development without autonomy in terms of fiscal and monetary policies.
Even though the State Government has some sort of autonomy for formulating fiscal policies, it is not given any autonomy for monetary policies needed for transforming the fiscal policies into action, it said.
One major factor which gave birth to the revolutionary movement is the yearning for peace and development, the outfit asserted.
By harping on development when it is unable to pay even monthly salaries of workers/employees, the State Government is only enacting a farce, it added.
