Bell rung on opium, migration wars-III

Imphal, October 10 2019: Many princes of Hindu majority States met the future Pakistan leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah and discussed about the terms of merger with Pakistan, said the statement and added that Travancore and Hyderabad declared their willingness to be independent kingdoms, and even disclosed their closeness with Pakistan.

Two political developments shocked the Indian leaders.

They were closeness with Pakistan and their willingness to be independent kingdom, it said and added that due to these reasons, Indian leaders had started exploring the means of "Carrot and Stick Policy" to subdue princely states by integrating into New India.

With the aim of changing the hearts of Princes, Government of India announced its official policy on July 7, 1947 that three subjects namely Defense, Foreign Affairs and Communication as mentioned in the Instrument of Accession (IOA) would be the only foundation to integrate princely states into India and there would be no other subjects to merge into India.

Apart from this, idea of "Privy purse" was also introduced to entrap the princes in the good version of maintaining status and guaranteeing their properties.

With both hard and soft exertion, Indian Government had reached an agreement with about 562 princely states under the Instrument of Accession (IOA) during June and August 15, 1947.Later, some princely states wanted to join India through IOA, shaping India into a "Union of States" .

So, the Article 370 of Indian Constitution reflects 'Federalism' and it recognized IOA respectfully.

The signing of the IOA by the two sovereign states of India and Jammu Kashmir on 26 October,1947 was on the basis of Article 370 reflecting federalism in India's polity.

That Article showed the recognition and respect of the IOA by the Indian Constitution.

Forgetting the history of Kashmir, Indian Government recently revoked the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into two union territories by undemocratically abrogating Article 370, alleged the outfit.

Indian government has been trying to rein in the independent agencies and institutions such as CBI, ED, NIA by making them its henchmen in order to consolidate its despotic administration, alleged the outfit and added that at present, there are two laws in India: one is to silence the voice of the innocent people and oppress the political opposition; and other is to pour more power to the ruling groups.

The Indian Constitution defines India as very briefly as "that is Bharat".

But what is Bharat is undefined and hidden which baffles the common people, alleged PREPAK-Proand added that Indian leaders are however not confused.

They know the implication of Puranic Bharat (Akhand Bharat) which had been concealed in the "Idea of India".

Even though there are two names for this country, the aggregated political power is under the ambit of Centre.

This is totally against the Principle of Union of States and Federalism.

While the Article 3 of Indian Constitution can dismantle the states on one side, Article 2 can expand India to achieve the ends of "Puranic Bharat" on the other side.

Former Prime Minister Nehru had tried to implement his infamous "Forward Policy" to covertly achieve "Hidden Bharat" by deploying many Indian armies in frontlines and even beyond Indian territory to occupy it.

India faced a humiliating defeat in Indo-China war 1962, thanks to the unrealistic and wrongful foundation of the Forward Policy.

Contradictorily, Nehru himself did not follow his "Forward Policy" in relation to Manipur boundary, charged the outfit.

It is time to be aware of the facts that there is not a single elected MLA, minister or chief minister whose memorial celebrations are being observed by the people as to that level of Comrade Irabot during these years of India's rule, said the outfit.

Those, who were believers of Indian polity, have never been respected by the Indian leaders as national leaders and this will not happen in the future as well, added the statement.

The economic foundations for self-determination are all rooted out and mainland Indians have taken control of all means of livelihood by violating market norms and rules, alleged the outfit.

The negative definition of politics as "winning the vote by any means" has been followed openly, said the outfit and added that seventy years captivation has awarded Manipuri people the "Dependency Syndrome".

Majority of the elected representatives had collected unimaginable amount of money fraudulently and billionaires through the supply and contract works, alleged the outfit.

Majority of these people do not have their own political stand and their mental attitude is that money can always win election, said the outfit and added that these so called public leaders will never be able to protect 2000 plus years old political, cultural, natural and human resources from the clutches of India.
