Imphal, September 26 2018: How Indian military forces captured revolutionary cadres, demanded ransoms, engineered their disappearances regardless of whether they got ransom or not, outraged modesty of a number of women and massacred innocent civilians in fake encounters are now known to the whole world.

They themselves have disclosed their own brutal character.

"The revolutionary movement will definitely encompass each and every one of us one day or the other.

By that time, all of us will face the wrath and brutality of Indian military forces.

This is inevitable and no amount of pleadings and beseeching to the Indian occupational forces will help us.

We must prepare ourselves for this eventuality and fight Indian military forces collectively and their local followers, the traitors," Chaoren called out.

In the meantime, people need to raise a collective voice against treatment of revolutionary cadres by Manipuri Indian security forces particularly police commandos as their sworn enemies and undue harassment and killing of civilians in fake encounters in the name of maintaining law and order so that this disturbing trend does not continue any longer.

Otherwise, a new chapter of endless vengeance, fraternal killings and bloodbath will be written in the history of Manipur.

Just like British colonial rulers who employed British Indian Army to suppress the Indian independence movement, Indian Manipuri soldiers have started taking lead roles in Gol's fight against the revolutionary movement.

This must be stopped immediately, said the rebel leader.

Else, their names will be discredited forever, future generations will look to them with contempt and their own descendants will live in disgrace among free people of independent Manipur.

Manipuri Indian security forces must take all these facts into consideration while discharging their duties and they must re-orient their actions and intentions towards a progressive Manipur, it said.

As a result of living within India for a prolonged period, it appears that Manipur cannot survive without depending on India.

Driven by such notion that Manipur cannot survive as a nation/community without India's protection, many people feel compelled to go to New Delhi to seek their goodwill and blessing.

But this, in fact, is becoming another major cause for further downfall of Manipur, Chaoren remarked.

It is the bounden duty of each and every one of us to make Manipur a progressive, prosperous and peaceful society.

"We can definitely see a new world, quite different from the world we are living at present if we look beyond India's alien rule and its illusions.

It is for this very reason that we, revolutionaries, have been waging an armed revolutionary campaign with a firm belief that we are capable of re-building a nation and we have every right to re-build our nation, and we have to snatch this right from GoI.

To be a part of this revolutionary movement is shouldering our responsibility towards our nation", Chaoren concluded.
