In the meantime, imperialist India, by employing a number of covert strategies, has been sending in different intoxicating drugs which can ruin the underdeveloped society for generations to come.
On account of this drug warfare, many youth are living a wretched life, bereft of any meaning or purpose.
In spite of this grave situation, even if one knows collaborators of the disastrous conspiracy, one cannot disclose the facts to the public and punish the culprits because they were performing their duty only at the capacity of a colonised people.
Rather than focusing on issues related with development and welfare of the people, the colonial regime is more interested in fanning internecine conflicts and confrontation amongst the indigenous peoples.
This sinister disposition of the colonial regime was manifested unmistakeably when it recruited a large number of youth in police, security establishments and VDF in the name of providing employment.
Everybody was witness to the recent public outcry when IGAR (South) made an abortive attempt to present some youngsters who were lured with the false promise of providing jobs as UG cadres in one of their routine surrender dramas.
But in many cases, people who refused to take part in similar surrender dramas were simply eliminated in fake encounters.
"After convincing some gullible UG cadres of initiating peace talk only to present them as surrenderees, the Indian military and their political masters have been consistently conspiring to lower and corrupt the moral values and conviction of our youth" stated the RPF President.
Some of the youngsters, thus won over by the evil conspiracy of the Indian military, have been masquerading as revolutionaries and committing all kinds of criminal and anti-social activities transforming themselves as enemies of the mass.
This is another covert but no so secret strategy of the Indian military designed to project the revolutionaries in bad light.
On the other hand, there were cases when some revolutionaries who came out valiantly with full conviction to win back the lost sovereignty and save the threatened nation ruined themselves because of certain wrong steps made at unguarded moments.
The recent attempt of the Indian military to glorify themselves by claiming to have achieved a major success after deceiving some pseudo revolutionaries who are content to live a life of bondage in exchange for some short term, insignificant benefits was only a manifestation of the Indian military's base, unethical tradition, read the press statement.
Over and above, there has been no let up in the schemes designed to create divisions and conflicts among indigenous people of Manipur and destroy its age old boundary so that all the people of Manipur can be kept under perpetual colonial rule.
Saying that India has been working relentlessly to divide the people of Manipur on ethnic lines notwithstanding the fact that all these people have been living together in peace and harmony for more than 2000 years, the outfit cautioned "All our people will perish without any hope of redemption if we continue to let ourselves fall prey to the devilish conspiracies of the colonial regime which are intended to create complete chaos, anarchy and mayhem in Manipur" .
Manipur, at present, is full of misery.
"Because of flawed education system, our people are not in a position to generate any healthy idea which can promote our value system" .
"Rather than creating a productive base of our own, more and more people have given themselves to glitz and pleasure seeking whereas the pool of unemployed people has been expanding alarmingly," Chaoren noted.
While many of youngsters have been scratching for livelihood, many others have been seeking solace in intoxicating drugs.
Many of the youngsters have ceased to stop exercising their faculty of reasoning and they have incapacitated themselves to judge what is wrong and what is right.
Everyday there are news and reports of the most dreaded and abhorring incidents as if there is neither social order nor any social guardian, the outfit lamented.
"In the meantime, 'outsiders' have been invading Manipur incessantly by not only immigrating into Manipur but also by marrying our women" .
"Moreover our language, tradition, culture, religious practices, dance and music and social discipline are being distorted and diluted thereby posing a serious threat to our identity", added the President's statement.
At the same time, the degree of corruption has reached an alarming level and this has robbed work culture off the vast majority of people besides degrading the moral values of "our socio cultural system" .
At this juncture, like in the past when some influential leaders, nobles and bureaucrats shouted and lobbied for integration of Manipur with India in the dream of a developed and prosperous Manipur, some people have started shouting for identification of Meiteis as tribes.
"It is advisable to ponder on the proposal in the interest of future generations for the same proposal entails obliterating our real identity for the sake of getting some benefits from the Government of India", remarked the RPF leader.
The present conflicts and confrontations for sharing resources as witnessed in Manipur is a result of Manipur being a colony of external power.
While the indigenous communities are scrambling for the resources/fund doled out by the colonial master, the fraternal bond shared among them is disappearing day by day.
"We would be able to co-exist together without any difference and at the same socio-politico-economic status in peace and harmony only when Manipur regains its sovereignty and there is self rule of our own people", Chaoren asserted.
Reminding about the UN General Assembly resolution of December 14, 1969 (Declaration of granting of independence to the colonial countries and peoples) which openly endorsed all liberation struggles, RPF President stated, "I would appeal to all our indigenous brothers and sisters to shoulder our historic responsibilities towards freeing ourselves and our future generations from the clutch of imperialist India and its meaningless democracy, and towards establishment of self rule of our own people for a free, progressive and egalitarian society" .
