Imphal, March 27 2020: Contd from previous issue .

The time to wish for a resurgent India is gone.

The time has come for everyone to remember and appreciate the work of the United Nations and its subsidiary organ the Decolonisation Committee in making efforts to root out colonialism from the face of the earth.

Such encouraging efforts have become a source of hope and inspiration for smaller and weaker states and regions to assert their independence and rights, the PREPAK MAC Chairman continued.

After the UN was established in 1945, more than 80 countries have gained independence from their former colonial powers and it is at present working to help regain independence of 17 recognised countries in the world.

In its latest session of UN Special Committee on Decolonisation, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres expressed that these small fledgling countries should put their priorities in meeting the aspirations and respecting the wishes of the people while taking up efforts to put up a responsible government, thereby reiterating the fact that the UN is committed to help regain freedom to colonized countries, Sathy claimed.

According to Gueterres, the effort of decolonization has slowed but is still marching forward.

In the Pacific region, New Caledonia - a French colony is holding a second referendum in September of this year after the people have voted for it.

In the history of the UN, the efforts of decolonization is an ongoing process for the international body, and is a crucial one in attaining the goal of self-determination and independence for many colonized countries of the world, the outfit claimed.

There has been no referendum or plebiscite which allows India to exert its rule on the people after Kangleipak was allegedly annexed.

The right bestowed by the UN to be recognized as a group or community still exists, it asserted.

The task at hand for the people of Kangleipak is to advance the revolution for independence while knocking on the door of the UN to lay down the goals and rights as demanded by the people.

The contributions of the Red Army in the last 43 years of the revolution for independence and self determination of Kangleipak by PREPAK are commendable.

The courage and valour they showed while facing the adversary forces in numerous instances and the spirit of sacrifice that they embody are remarkable, it continued.

As long as the Red Army continues to resist and make persistent efforts to repel the adversary forces, the common goal of independence and self determination is getting nearer, the MAC Chairman concluded.
