RPF says no to political dialogue-II

Imphal, February 25 2020: The Government of India has been impeding the liberation movement which must be carried on collectively by creating divisions among the communities living together in Manipur.

With many artificial differences added over the years, the degree of seeing one community as adversary or stranger by another has been only rising, the RPF president continued.

At the same time, the Government of India has been promoting further polarization of communities by formulating sectarian policies and legislations in the name of protecting minority communities.

"Many of our people are reposing undue faith in the Indian democracy and they see it as a benevolent act of India when the 'Iron Shackles' binding us are replaced by 'Golden Shackles'", reads the rebel chief's statement.

Such outlook is a serious setback to the liberation movement of Manipur.

Nevertheless, it is an inescapable duty of all revolutionaries to work harder so that the revolutionary movement can march forward.

The revolutionary movement will one day certainly become a progressive one with the help of the people provided the revolutionaries work tirelessly and continuously.

Saying that RPF never put faith in the ideas and outlooks of those revolutionaries who had turned their backs to the revolutionary movement, the outfit asserted that would never accept their decision to surrender to the enemy as a right step of the revolutionary movement.

Any new, modified form of bondage or servitude brought about after submission to the enemy can never be a destination of the revolutionary movement.

Any such arrangement is nothing but betrayal of the people and submission to the enemy in the name of bringing peace and development, Chaoren remarked.

As their activities warrant outright rejection and strong condemnation, those pseudo revolutionaries can never be described as genuine revolutionaries.

These people have forfeited their own self-respect and turned away from the revolutionary movement, and they can potentially conspire with the enemy against the people in pursuit of their own personal benefits.

Such activities of the pseudo revolutionaries can harm not only themselves but also the organic relationship shared between revolutionaries and the people and this may turn out to be a serious impediment to the revolutionary movement.

For all these reasons, revolutionary groups of Manipur and WESEA should take extreme care not to find themselves at any point of time on such a path of self-deceit in the course of the revolutionary movement, conveyed the statement.

The claim of State Government leaders and those who see the revolutionary movement only from its appearance that the movement has been suppressed is not based on the right perspective.

There is a big contradiction between their thoughts and the thoughts of revolutionaries on the matter.

Their perspective is based on the assumption that there will be peace and development in Manipur when there is not any revolutionary movement.

But they don't want to see that something very crucial is missing in their perspective because there is no difference between freedom and bondage to them.

But all revolutionaries cherish freedom more than anything, it said.

Freedom is a birthright of every man and there will be no peace in any country if there is no freedom.

If there is peace in the absence of freedom, it will be under extreme subjugation where life has lost all its meanings.

There is no meaning to life if there is no freedom, it asserted.

"To make our lives meaningful, it is essential to end India's alien rule in Manipur.

However, at the moment, we have certain weaknesses when compared to India and it may take sometime to make up these weaknesses.

But we will ensure that we never see the fate of a defeated soldier.

We will definitely pave the way for a war of liberation for our future generations even if the war takes a thousand years.

This will be a sweet victory for the revolutionary movement", Chaoren said.

He concluded the statement by conveying deepest regards for the people and saluted the 'martyrs' who had paid with their precious lives for the just cause of the national liberation movement.
