Write-up upsets PREPAK(Pro)

Imphal, August 16, 2012: Taking strong exception to an editorial write-up of a daily paper which called for making Indian independence meaningful, the armed outfit PREPAK (Pro) has termed it thoughts of India's secret agents or traitors.

The idea for Manipur to contribute in India's development is irrational and meaningless.

Should Manipur push India on the path of development, it is essential to restore Manipur's sovereignty first.

Only then Manipur and India can cooperate on the path of development as sovereign nations, the outfit asserted in a press statement issued by its assistant publicity and propaganda secretary Sunil M Quoting RH Tawney, "Freedom for pike is death for minnows", the outfit elaborated that India's freedom not only destroyed freedom of many smaller nations/communities but also trampled upon the freedom of huge multitude of its impoverished population.

The rise of Maoism in mainland India, the issue of Kashmir and the revolutionary struggles in Western South East Asia are all offshoots of India's freedom which was brought by ill-defined struggles.

Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru once said that freedom would simply disappear by it self if abused.

Since then, every Government that came to power at New Delhi have been mired in controversies, scandals and scams.

It was also reported that one-third of the total number of Indian MPs have criminal backgrounds and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi is the fourth richest politician in the whole world.

India's freedom is freedom for a handful of powerful and richpeople.

The poor massare yet to gain freedom, the outfit alleged.

India is a land bogged down by travesty of justice and policy paralysis.

As such, putting faith in India to take pivotal role for development of Manipur is nothing but befooling oneself.

There is no united India till date except for som,e sort of unity seemingly seen in the fields of religion, culture, tradition and custom, the outfit contended.

To think about development of Manipur by associating with corrupted Indian leaders would always remain a pipe-dream.

The ongoing campaign being waged by social workers at Delhi against corruption and black money cannot be dismissed lightly.

Questioning if there is anything Manipur can learn from India, the outfit asked should the violent tendency and criminal mindset which have been polluting the atmosphere of Manipur since it was forcibly merged into India be allowed to fester without any control exercise.

Reacting to a comment made by a Minister during the last Assembly session that the center alloted Rs.350 crores during 2012-13 as against just Rs 8.51 crores allotted during 1972-73, the outfit remarked what the Minister was saying was nothing but New Delhi was more sympathetic to their stooges here.

There can be no development policy when there is nor self reliance and no nation can take part in the race for development without a visionary leader.

The so-called political leaders of Manipur were brought up under the Indian education system practices.

They can work for development of neither Manipur nor India for they are agents of corrupted Indian leaders, it alleged.

Learning and chanting Indian national anthem would not solve the current issue arising out of attacks on Northeastern people in different Indian cities nor it would help in repealing AFSPA.

Saying that Manipuri people would not feel bad when India become a developed and progressive country, the outfit reminded that Manipur was a sovereign kingdom since ages.

Alleging that India has been maintaining an uninterrupted record of corruption since 1948, the outfit asserted that Manipur has nothing to Irani from India.

There is no reason for the people of Manipur to celebrate August 15 rather it is a verv heart-rending day, it alleged.
