Imphal, February 25 2011: Since the day Manipur was annexed by India, the people have been living a wretched life, without any dignity or security.

The daily happenings of killings, violence, atrocities, illegal detention, random killings with superficial allegations, forced disappearance of arrested persons etc are all the fruits of being subservient to India.

On the other side, prolonged mass movements undertaken through years have reaffirmed the fact that 'our people are a beleaguered, repressed lot' .

All these movements and events are clear testimony that there have been conflicts and incompatibility between India and Manipur from the very beginning.

"It's time all of us join hands and wage mass movements in order to uproot the Indian colonial rule from Manipur, which is the root cause of the existing conflict, to herald a new age of prosperity and peace", Chaoren exhorted.

The so called administration that is witnessed today in Manipur is nothing but foreign colonial rule.

It would be out of place to say that the people living under the alien rule are free people.

Holding elections and electing representatives for ruling Manipur under a semblance of democracy is a cunning way of imposing Indian democracy in Manipur.

It cannot be a valid ground to claim Manipur is a part of India by coercing people to observe national voters' day in Manipur like the Indians did.

"To build up our strength so that we can determine our own political future is a justified and inescapable responsibility for all of us.

It is our duty to liberate Manipur and her people who are now living under the dark shadow of Indian democracy", the outfit asserted.

At present, Indian armed forces are using all kinds of baits under different stratagems to pull the people in their line.

In the name of promoting healthy relationship with the public, the Indian armed forces have been engaging themselves in different activities ranging from distribution of television sets to local clubs/organisations to sponsoring excursion tours for students and women organisations.

Such activities are all hogwash and we need to be very watchful of such activities.

Some self-centred people are openly supporting such activities of the Indian armed forces and they are cooperating with the alien forces, unmindful of its merits and demerits, the outfit noted.

Alleging that such activities of the Indian armed forces which are apparently benevolent and charitable are a ploy to cover up the inhuman excesses committed by them against the people, the outfit cautioned that putting faith in their activities and accepting them as friends, and joining them in their activities for some benefits would not bring anything positive for the society except creating hatred and animosity amongst the people.

Highlighting all these possible consequences, RPF appealed to all the people to stay away from the Indian armed forces and their activities.

Community/ethnicity based movements and their diverse demands guided by parochial outlooks being witnessed in Manipur are all the handiwork of imperialist India's decades old conspiracy, it alleged.
