Imphal, October 08 2014: On the occasion of the 37th anniversary of its Red Army, the People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (Progressive) has paid homage to its fallen heroes and others injured in the struggle for regaining independence.

The outfit has also sent its regards to its members, the ranks and files of all parties affiliated to CorCom and those from revolutionary parties operating in Western South East Asia, its civilian sympathizers, media community and civil society organisations in the message released by the chairman of Prepak (Pro), L Paliba Meitei.

Forwarding its good wishes, the note stated that the ultimate goal of the party is the establishment of a sovereign Kangleipak based on political pluralism, collective development, equal justice and equal distribution after securing the constitutional protection of all indigenous groups regardless of their sizes through a policy of equal responsibility and equal treatment.

Democratic values and principles will be the main plank on which the process of nation making of a politically and economic independent state of Kangleipak will materialize, it added.

It is imperative for Kangleipak to face the full impact of globalization and participate successfully in the global race for development with the formulation of our own unique economic policy, the note stated.

It stated that during the last 64 years, tension between different communities, tussle for natural resources, and many socio-political issues arising from narrow vision and leading to communal clashes have been witnessed.

Sanaleipak Manipur (Kangleipak) which was once self-sufficient is now dependent on outsiders who have established total control over food supplies, educational and health care institutions and decision making of commercial activities, it continued.

It is very unfortunate that a handful of local academicians at Manipur University are colluding with the policy makers of India to flare up communal hatred and use education as an ethnic bomb, it stated and urged the teaching staffs at the university who the claimed are lost in the world of contract works and supply to overcome the distraction from their duties and mend their ways.

The note cited the revolt by students against the despotic functioning of a former vice-chancellor of the university Prof T Rathore and urged the staff against carrying out activities which will make them the target of the wrath of the future generations.

The note accused the Indian government of using non-local agents to bring disunity among the local stakeholders in the main commercial places in the attempt to control the market and warned the people to identify the non-locals who had entered Manipur for the purpose of destabilization and those who had come to earn an honest living.

The party questioned whether the political leaders of India have any respect for Sharmila and continued to ask what discussions had been carried out at the Parliament on her 13 years long struggle for removal of AFSPA.

The outfit further castigated the political leaders in the state for showing no guts in their functioning and ridiculed the administration stating that though India has sent a Mars Mission and developed nuclear bombs it cannot properly maintain the highways in the state.

The party accused the state police force of being deeply involved in corruption and lacking discipline and sought reply about its success in dealing with rising crime including the flourishing network of drug trade.

It asked whether any officer had received the prestigious gallantry awards for success in booking drug mafias or child and woman traders.

Important places like educational institutes, Ima Keithel, the secretariat, highways and valley areas had been infested with germs, the release from Prepak (Pro) stated and appealed the people to face the secret policies of the enemy together.
