Imphal, April 02 2010:
Expressing serious concern over the influx of non-Manipuris, the proscribed KCP has asserted that the responsibility of solving the problem of non-Manipuris should be shared by all the indigenous people.
A press release issued by Tabungba Meetei of the outfit's Information and Public Relations Department pledged that it would exert all its resources and strength to solve the problem.
Asserting that the future of the Manipuri nation is unpredictable without solving the problem emanating from large scale influx of non-Manipuris, the outfit alleged that immigrants have been helping in a big way in consolidating the alien rule.
The problem of the influx of non-Manipuris has passed into a critical phase.
Observing that local leaders are unable to speak out anything against the policies and programmes of New Delhi, the KCP lamented that the local leaders are just watching helplessly when non-Manipuris have allegedly taken control of the State's economy, administration and penetrated into the political domain of the native people besides making their presence in every corner of the State.
People have now started feeling the pain of political and economic exploitation perpetrated by the alien rule.
Local people serving non-Manipuris is not an uncommon sight these days, the outfit asserted.
Noting that there have been instances of non-Manipuris outraging modesty of Manipuri women, the outfit asserted that this is the gift of New Delhi to the people Manipur.
In view of all these, there is a strong feeling that each ethnic group should gear up to save their own identities.
Allowing continuous influx of non-Manipuris in the name of India's national integrity would mean extinction of the Manipuri nation.
It's high time for all the indigenous people to weigh between protecting integrity of India and saving Manipur, it asserted.
On the other hand, the KCP decried that the Loktak Development Authority has failed to comply with the understanding it reached with the outfit.
