Imphal, November 21 2019:
The proscribed PLA and MNPF have claimed that they attacked one outpost of 19 Assam Rifles at Sehlon village, Chandel district at around 5.30 am today.
According to a joint statement issued by RPF Assistant Publicity Secretary Bangkim and MNPF Assistant Publicity Secretary Thomas Numai, the offensive carried out using light machine guns and grenade launchers left many AR personnel injured apart from damaging the camp.
It conveyed that MNPF and RPF believe in the fraternal bond shared between hill people and plain people and collective armed revolution.
Although India claims to be a democracy, it is not a democratic country in reality and this is testified by the extensive repression being suffered by the people of Kashmir and the growing apprehension among the indigenous peoples of WESEA for complete extermination, it alleged.
India will never become a democratic country.
India is obsessed with the ideas of Hindi, Hindu and Hindustan and the vast majority of Indian people favour hegemonic rule, the two outfits alleged.
India is also an expansionist.
That is why, they have been allegedly occupying WESEA even though they don't believe in co-existence with the peoples of the region.
The Government of India has been following a divide and rule policy in the region with a motive to ignite internecine wars in the region so that they can bring the WESEA region under their permanent control, it alleged.
By imposing AFSPA, Indian military forces have been killing people at their whim and fancy.
People of Manipur will never be able to forgive Indian military forces for the brutal murder of many innocent men and women, orchestrating involuntary disappearance of many individuals, numerous cases of rape, sodomy and massacres.
Since AFSPA was imposed in Manipur, 8983 people have been killed and 1528 others in fake encounters.
AFSPA was imposed in Manipur by New Delhi in collusion with the State Government so that the alien rule can be perpetuated for a very long time.
At the same time, the Government of India has been working relentlessly to accommodate their surplus population in Manipur with an intention to reduce the indigenous people to the status of minority in their own homeland, it continued.
The Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) is aimed at enabling illegal immigrants settle in WESEA lawfully.
CAB is driven by a policy to enable illegal immigrants of India origin settle in WESEA in the manner Jewish people settled in Gaza Strip and West Bank, asserted the two outfits.
As testified by the alleged suppression of Manipuri people using military forces, India believes in the saying, "political power grows out of the barrel of gun", they alleged.
Armed liberation movement is the only means to drive out the Indian military forces from Manipur, they said while appealing to all the people to support the liberation movement.
