Imphal, August 11, 2014:
As in the previous years, the Coordination Committee (CorCom), Hynnewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC), Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), National Democratic of Boroland (NDFB), National Liberation of Twipra and the United Liberation Front of Asom-I (ULFA-I) have called general strike in the entire North East region from 1 am to 5.30 pm of August 15. During these hours, essential services, emergency measures, media and religious activities would be exempted from the purview of the general strike.
A joint statement forwarded to media by CorCom media coordinator H Poirei said that the peoples of the Western Southeast Asian Region are facing the catastrophe due the forcible occupation of the region by the Indian oppressive regime.
Having deprived of the right to determine their own future, the people of the region are facing untold miseries.
They are facing extinction in their own land due the systematic influx of mainland Indians and indigenous culture of the region is at stake due to rapid Indianisation.
Even the right to live is threatened by the imposition of many draconian laws.
"In order to regain our sovereignty, the people of the region have been battling the Indian occupation forces for decades.
In the name of fighting insurgency, India Government is using every possible methods including violence, Military Civil Action Program and even population invasion", it alleged.
Champion of the foreigner issue before the recent General Election of India 2014, the present Delhi regime, after the election has made an about turn, and instead of keeping their election promises has now softened their policies towards the foreigners who are living in WESEA.
Indian political parties are accusing each other that foreigners are "vote banks" to win elections either in state assemblies or national ones.
Government are the same; past, present, or even the future Indian regimes will act the same way for sure.
Because population invasion is India's hidden agenda to capture the land of 'our region'.
Foreigners loyal to are is far better than the indigenous people of the region whom India sees as disloyal to "Mother India".
In this scheme, foreigners from the neighbourhood including that of India are taking a major role to assimilate the indigenous peoples to be Indian by various means even by mixing of blood.
This hidden agenda is neither the vote bank nor humanitarian services as claimed by the Indian old fox politicians.
It is a genocide of the indigenous peoples of the WESEA region being carried out silently, secretly and systematic to achieve occupation of this indigenous habitat by India.
It is obvious that what India wants is the land and its resources, not the disloyal peoples of the region.
"Hence to overthrow Indian colonial occupation of our region, with the united and collective struggle of our peoples, we the above mentioned Revolutionary Organizations of the WESEA region call upon the entire peoples of our region to come forward and display our solidarity against India, the common enemy", it called out.
"Suspension of Operation", "Cease Fire" or "Talk" with cunning India for decades or even a century will bring nothing to the region.
These are merely tricks of Indian dirty political game to wear us out.
Keeping faith in the collective strength of our region, we appeal to those who are under the Suspension of Operation or Cease Fire as well to come forward to resist and fight jointly against the Indian Occupation", it conveyed.
As in the previous years, the above-mentioned organizations would prohibit celebration of India's Independence Day in WESEA on 15 August 2014, because WESEA is not a part of India, it added.
