Imphal, November 22 2011:
The proscribed UG group Maoist Communist Party Manipur has called a 24 hours General strike from the midnight of November 25 to the midnight of November 26 stated a press statement of the organisation.
It further stated that the General strike might also be extended for another 24 hours.
Reacting against the inactive response of the state government on the 110 days long economic blockade the statement expressed serious concerns on how much the Manipuri people have been suffering in the hands of reactionary Indian colonialism and its domestic social props.
"The Government of India has been in process to make the Manipur into two pieces of state to derail the national liberation movement, which is a very genuine right of the people of Manipur.
There is a pseudo socialist arm revisionist group so called National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) led by Isak and Muivah popularly known as NSCN (IM) based on non of any existing ideology of this universe but subjectivism and backed by the Christian world has been demanding the creation of New state Greater Nagalim or Nagaland for Christ which is almost against the principal of Socialist revolution" the statement added.
"The NSCN (IM) policies are submission to the Indian Reactionary Colonialist.
So it will be wrong for the oppressed people of Naga to hope NSCN (IM) for a better future any more.
The creation of Greater Nagalim or Supra state is nothing but misguiding the oppressed people to provoke communal tension among the brotherhood to derail the revolutionary movement and its unity in Manipur and North east in general.
It is the total negation of what is a democratic revolution.
The Maoist Communist Party Manipur strongly oppose the communal politics, it further stated.
The statement further mentioned that Police and Loktak Development Authority personnel had burnt down several huts built on the floating biomass of the Loktak Lake.
Thousands of peoples have been forcibly evicted.
As a part of the Government's project to sanitize the loktak Lake, a large number of families settled on the floating biomasses were forcibly evicted.
"Consequently the displaced settlers had been initially taking shelter at a community hall in Ningthoukhong under Bishnupur district from where they were asked to vacate by the police again.
The displaced settlers came to Kwakeithel Thounaojam Leikai last evening to air their plight to the Government of Manipur but police personnel forcibly disperse them.
The Government's policy of evicting the Loktak dwellers has virtually cut-off all sources of livelihood, stated the statement.
The Maoist Communist Party, Manipur as a vanguard of Manipur proletariat, it is our prime duty to be with the homeless oppress people of Manipur.
Now it's the time to stand up against such anti people policy to overthrow the reactionary government led by O.Ibobi" it added.
While reacting against such inhuman natures of the state government and some anti social elements the statement called upon all the peasant, revolutionary youths and students, revolutionary workers and women to unite for a better Manipur.
