Imphal, October 10 2019:
Kangleipak has become a battle ground and a graveyard for her sons today due to Hindustan's occupation of Kangleipak, alleged the outfit and added that though people of Kangleipak have all the characteristic of an independent people in terms of culture, sports and religion, they have never had the opportunity to express their identity in front of the world.
Stating that society is today degrading, the outfit said that drugs has taken a heavy toll.
Kanglei society has now no respect for its women, completely dependent for necessary commodities on outsiders, politics is controlled by foreigners, the youth of this society have no employment and culture is being lost and human rights violation is rampant.
Many have gone missing after being picked up by the 'Indian Occupational Forces', alleged the outfit and added that Hindustan is slowly engulfing everyone with its malicious designs.
In the name of development and democratic election, it has led the people of Kangleipak into disarray and disillusionment.
The wave of Indian electoral politics has swept the indigenous people of Kangleipak, blowing away their strength and adversely affecting their lives and culture, said the outfit and added that in a place where there is anti-AFSPA movement and where there is movement for the right to self determination, anti-people code of conduct before elections effectively weakens the public sphere and silences public opinion.
The existing electoral political class in Kangleipak has been now moulded in the image of the colonisers and this new class with its political ideology has been used as a soft power against the revolutionary liberation movement, alleged PREPAK.
Given this, we see a rise of criminal activities in Kangleipak.
Elections serve to diminish the strength and the courage of the people of Kangleipak.
To sum up, the elections held under the supervision of India only serves to continue and strengthen the roots of colonialism, further alleged the outfit.
Today, the people of the world know of WESEA as a land where movement for the right to self- determination is going on.
The land of WESEA, where communities with similar histories, cultures and experience of subjugation and oppression live, has become a place with most numbers of rebel organisations, claimed PREPAK.
The national liberation movement which began against British colonialism halted after British left Kangleipak.
It again started after two years when India occupied Kangleipak and it has continued till now.
The movement cannot be explained away saying that it is handiwork of armed groups, claimed the outfit.
History of Kangleipak's resistence against British Colonialism tells us that different communities lived together and joined hands to fight colonialism.
Numerous battles fought between British and different communities of Kangleipak in 1891, 1917 Kuki rebellion, Haipou Jadonang and Rani Gaidinlui's Zeliangrong movement, Lamyanba Hijam Irabot's movement in 1950 clearly show us the image of a united Kangleipak and these movements stood against British colonialism to build a united Kangleipak, said PREPAK.
Since India's occupation of Kangleipak on October 15, 1949, India has used all its strength and tried hard to completely destroy the relationship between different communities living in WESEA, spreading a narrow communal mentality amongst the people, alleged PREPAK.
India is pouring in huge sums of money to foment tension between communities living in Kangleipak and also in WESEA.
India continues to pretend to be peace loving, signing Suspension of Operations (SoO) one after another.
No one from the organisations which signed SoO has been given an adequate livelihood.
There have been no effort to give them a stable life.
Using SoO and peace talk, Indian Occupational Forces and police forces are openly extorting money from the people on the highways, alleged the outfit.
Indian armed forces are turning many youth counter-revolutionary forces, it alleged.
It has clearly trapped the WESEA society in the web of factionalism.
The changing situation is a proof of how Indian armed forces are using this conflict for their own benefits, it said and added that it is important that communities of WESEA should understand this.
Otherwise, there will be no peace in WESEA.
Lastly, PREPAK pays revolutionary homage to those brave men and women who have sacrified their lives in this protracted revolutionary national liberation movement.
"On the 42nd Foundation Day of PREPAK, we pay our revolutionary respect on to those revolutionaries who are now incarcerated as prisoners of war facing hardships," added the statement.
