PREPAK for united liberation movement-I
Source: The Sangai Express

Imphal, October 08 2018: The proscribed PREPAK has appealed to all fellow revolutionary organisations to stand together on a united platform in order to defeat India and restore the lost sovereignty of Kangleipak.

A statement issued by the PREPAK acting Chairman Kh Sathy on the occasion of the outfit's 41st raising day (October 9) said they have been keeping faith in a united liberation movement since the inception of the outfit.

Since the early stage, the party has not only been working together with other revolutionary organizations of Kangleipak but also been trying relentlessly to keep good relationship with other fraternal revolutionary organizations of the neighbouring WESEA region so that a united liberation movement can be carried through.

Keeping in mind the principles of a united National liberation movement to translate the objective of achieving independent Kangleipak into reality, KCP, PREPAK and RPF joined hands and formed the Revolutionary Joint Committee (RJC).

Then PREPAK, RPF and UNLF joined hands to form Manipur People's Liberation Front (MPLF).

Then KCP, KYKL, PREPAK, PREPAK (Pro), RPF, UNLF and UPPK got together and formed the Co-ordination-Committee (CORCOM).

Even now the party firmly believes in "unity is strength" and that only a united National liberation movement will be able to restore the lost of independence of Kangleipak, Sathy asserted.

Even though an armed group of the hills that earlier demanded independence has gone into peace talks with India, a large number of people of the hills have no trust in that talks and still stand firmly for an independent Kangleipak.

Launching of a liberation movement against India by the hill brethren is abig step ahead toward restoring independence of Kangleipak.

Ontheoccasion of its 41 st raising day, the party offered revolutionary salute to all brave martyrs who had sacrificed their lives for the motherland during the course of the liberation movement and those who are languishing in the jail as the enemy's prisoners of war.

It also conveyed warm greetings to all hill and valley brethren, and wished a happy, peaceful and progressive society free of all ills and suffering.

Kangleipak, which was once an Asiatic Sovereign State having its own history of more than 2000 years, today is now unable to protect its own traditional identity and territorial boundary ever since Dominion India forcibly allegedly annexed the land on October 15, 1949 in contravention of all international norms, said the acting Chairman.

The nastiest policy adopted by India to make the people of the State unable to rise ever again is creating divisions among the people so that they will never be able to build united strength and to deprive the people of their right to live.

India is using the AFSPA-1958, the new version of the AFSPO which the British had used to suppress the people of India, and meting out all kinds of brutal torture and killings unabated till today, it alleged.

The manner in which India had forced the erstwhile King Bodhachandra, who had no authority and power then, to sign the so-called merger Agreement and forcibly annexed Kangleipak had been considered illegal not only in the eyes of International Law but also had not been approved by the then Assembly and State Council formed by the elected representatives of the people nor a referendum of the Kanglei people was held for approving it.

Moreover, the 4th sitting of the 3rd Session of the first Manipur Legislative Assembly held at 2.30 pm of September 28, 1949 at Johnstone High School had rejected the so-called Merger Agreement of September 21 stating that King Bodhachandra was made to sign it under duress.

Many other people's conventions held in the later days had also denounced the so-called Merger Agreement as having no legality and constitutional validity.

Thus challenging such erroneous act of India, a National revolution movement was launched by the people of Kangleipak since the very year India had occupied Kangleipak in 1949 to drive out the Indian military forces from the region and to restore independence and the movement is still continuing.

National liberation movement is a political expression of the Right to Self Determination, it asserted.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), 1996 and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), 1996 provide in the first articles that "All peoples have the right to self-determination.

By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development." India had ratified the ICCPR, 1966 on April 10, 1979 and implemented it on July 10, 1979 .

The 3rd Article of the Draft United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People's also clearly points out in the same manner as that of the above two Covenants about the Right to Self Determination of the indigenous people.

However, India has been ignoring and disregarding the Right to Self Determination of Kangleipak, the outfit decried.

No one can ever break the territorial integrity of Kangleipak that existed in 1947.No community or country should ever try to break the territorial boundary of Kangleipak that had been drawn by Henry Yule way back in 1500 AD.

For the UN General Assembly, the Right to Self Determination and the National liberation movement of a people has been kept as a legitimate regulation.

If a colonial, racist or foreign rule does not provide the reasonable Right to Self Determination of a people, it remains condemned as an act of terrorist, Sathy said.

Astonishingly, India still pretends as if it doesn't know this.

The resolutions of General Assembly 2189, December 13, 1966 and General Assembly 2326, December 11, 1967 prohibit use of any kind of force by a State against a people who are demanding their Right to Self Determination, added Sathy.

As per the Declaration of the UN General Assembly of 1970, a people who are fighting for their Right to Self Determination may use any means of force at their command.

Instead of granting the Right to Self Determination, if the State uses force to suppress or break the movement, it will be considered as an international crime amounting to committing genocide.

Despite all these, the main cause of weakness in intensely advancing the movement of restoring independence of Kangleipak and in achieving the Right to Self Determination is the failure to bring all the revolutionary parties of both hills and valley together on the same platform to make the movement an international issue, lamented the acting Chairman.
