Imphal, January 24 2019: This populist tactic could manipulate the psyche of Hindus in blindly endorsing Hindu chauvinism and galvanise in expanding the numerical figure of Hindu voters, said the statement and added the "ruler aims to use the tactic as a handy tool for securing more seats in the upcoming Parliamentary election" .

The recent Bill adds a qualitative difference to the continuous policy of demographic invasion, it added.

Detailing, the statement said that the Bill therefore arbitrarily delegitimizes and contradicts: (a) the Assam Accord of 1985 and ongoing National Register of Citizens (NRC) updating process in Assam, (b) the agreement between the Government of Manipur and All Manipur Students Union (AMSU) & All Manipur Students' Coordination Committee (AMSCOC) in 1980; reiterated by an agreement signed between Government of Manipur and AMSU in 1994; (c) the popular movements for protection of indigenous peoples in WeSEA such as Manipur, Tripura, Meghalaya and elsewhere; and (d) the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2007 .

So far, NRC updating process in Assam has detected more than 3 million illegal migrants, said the statement and added that this number does not include a large chunk of migrants from India and elsewhere.

The indigenous people of Tripura have been systematically outnumbered and marginalised.

The 'tribal' States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland are facing massive pressure by Indian migrants, particularly in urban clusters and resource extraction areas, alleged the outfits and added that Manipur has been resisting the onslaught by demographic invasion.

The recent Bill, therefore, has become a sensitive issue and indigenous peoples in WeSEA are united in opposing it, said the statement.

The projection of WeSEA, as an integral part of a metaphorically mythicized United Hindu Nation [Akhil Hindu Rashtra], is an approach to dilute the identity of the people of WeSEA, said the statement.

Perhaps, the Indian establishment is gearing up to push the demographic invasion by outsiders to greater heights, said the statement and added that this policy reflects India's continuous suspicion about the racial, linguistic, and political loyalty of the indigenous peoples in the WeSEA to her.

The objective is to rob the indigenous peoples of their distinct ethnic/Nationality, identities, cultures, languages, social organisations, political will and destroy the spirit of resistance, added the outfits.

It is difficult for India to expand beyond Nepal in the North, towards Pakistan in the West, beyond Sri-Lanka in the South, and in the sea on the East, said the statement and added "But WeSEA is vital for its territory, resources, markets and geo-strategic advantage in expanding India's finance interest towards Southeast Asian countries via Myanmar" .

Towards this, India is effectively playing the role of a subordinate proxy of industrially advanced countries to counter-balance China's global economic ambitions, charged the outfits and added, "However, armed resistance and democratic dissents to defend indigenous rights have been obstructing India's imperialist ambition.

When militarisation, communal divide and rule policy, installation of local puppet regimes, recruitment of local traitors, etc.

could not suppress resistance; India adopted the policy of passing the Bill to legalise demographic invasion by Hindu infiltrators" .

The infiltrators will gradually outnumber the indigenous population and take control of the land, natural resources, labour market, commerce, political power, and Governmental institutions, alleged the outfits and added that the Bill is designed to act as a surrogate to organised loot and legalised plunder.

Stating that the people must resist every design of the Government to further subjugate them, the outfits called for the boycott of Republic Day celebration in WeSEA with complete success and to remain indoors throughout the day and support the resistance movements.
