Imphal, September 30 2023:
The Socialist Revolutionary Party (SOREPA), Kangleipak has shared its thoughts and ideas on different issues.
In a statement issued to media on the eve of its second raising day (October 1), SOREPA Chairman Toijam Ibochou conveyed deepest respect to all revolutionary groups of WESEA and Kangleipak/Manipur.
The outfit also paid rich tributes to all the revolutionaries who have laid down their lives in the course of the liberation movement.
The outfit conveyed best wishes to all sections of people on its second raising day.
Expressing solidarity to all the people who have been rendered homeless and are currently living in relief camps under miserable conditions, the SOREPA Chairman also paid deepest respect to all the womenfolk who have been struggling for the integrity of Kangleipak/Manipur.
Strongly condemning the cold blooded murder of Phijam Hemanjit and Hijam Lingthoingambi, Ibochou said the cold blooded murder has testified that those elements who have been scheming to disintegrate Kangleipak are terrorists.
With the Indian military forces openly supporting these terrorists, the military offensive aimed at disintegrating Kangleipak has all the elements of a State-sponsored terrorism, he alleged.
The UN ought to take up diplomatic and political actions against India for its attempt to fragment Manipur which existed as a sovereign Nation for over 3000 years before it was annexed by India, reads the statement.
Recalling the episode of Seven Years' Devastation (1819-1826) where the princes of Manipur, after leaving aside all personnel differences, united and fought together against the invading Burmese forces, it underscored the urgent need for unification of all the people.
A Nation cannot be a gift from anyone.
A Nation is built on the premises of blood and supreme sacrifices of people.
Even if there are people who can shed their blood and sacrifice their lives, it is impossible to build a Nation on the foundation of fabricated history and this fact must not be lost on the leaders who have been misleading the Khongjai community, it said.
It would do well for the Khongjai leaders to retract their step of building a Kuki-Chin-Zo Nation in the absence of any historical foundation before it is too late, SOREPA asserted.
India's alleged State-terrorism has been manifested in ethnic conflicts among Naga, Kuki, Mizo, Meitei, Meitei Pangal, Dimasa, Khasi, Garo, Jayantiya, Adi, Mishing, Bodo, Kamtapur and other communities of WESEA.
"We did not learn any lesson from the Naga-Kuki crisis, Khasi-Garo crisis, Meitei-Meitei Pangal crisis, Kuki-Paite crisis and Kuki-Dimasa crisis etc.
"Narrow nationalism, ethnic-nationalism or micro-nationalism are all India's strategies aimed at creating and sustaining disunity among the peoples of WESEA", Toijam Ibochou said.
The 'Khongjai war' has become a serious contradiction to the liberation struggles of WESEA and it should be tackled by all the peoples of the region, reads the Chairman's statement.
It's time the Khongjai people wake to the sinister ploy of the illegal immigrants who have been conspiring to suppress the liberation movement of Manipur with alleged financial support from the Indian military, it said.
All the democratic movements aimed at protecting the socio-political and economic interests of Manipur were/are always led by women.
It is this face of Manipuri women/Imas which is feared most by India and illegal immigrants, it said.
That is why, some people belonging to a particular community have been working very hard at Delhi to discredit and malign the image of Meira Paibis/Manipuri women, SOREPA remarked.
"Our mothers can see very well that the Indian military forces, particularly Assam Rifles, have been using illegal immigrants/narco-terrorists to wage a proxy war in Manipur", Toijam Ibochou alleged.
The stoic silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to the pain, trauma, turmoil and killings going on in Manipur is a clear testimony that they support the foreign mercenary narco-terrorists, he further alleged.
The success of a revolution cannot be left to the revolutionaries alone.
All the people/communities need to join the revolution to make it victorious, the statement continued.
"We must adapt to the globalized world.
If we fail to adapt to the fast changing world, leave aside freedom, all the communities of Kangleipak/Manipur may face extinction", it warned.
