Imphal, August 11 2021: Coordination Committee (CorCom), a conglomerate of underground groups, has announced boycott of India's Independence Day celebration in Manipur and imposed a total shutdown on August 15 from lam till 6.30pm.The total shutdown, however, will be relaxed for essential services, medical, electricity, water supply, fire service, press and religious ceremonies, a CorCom statement issued by its publicity committee said.

According to the CorCom statement, India might be happy and celebrating completion of 74 years of freedom granted by the British but endless conflict still exists in several corners of India as the country was formed forcibly.

The British occupied several independent nations gradually and later formed India to facilitate collection and looting of wealth from the occupied nations.

Geographical boundaries of occupied nations were altered by the British to facilitate colonisation thereby creating complete chaos to integrity and status of these nations, which indeed existed as independent nations before the arrival of British.

After the British left, leaders of independent India played the same political game of colonisation policy adopted by the British and this has led to endless conflicts in many corners of India.

Laws enacted by the British for their own benefit are still being used by India.

After the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, the British passed the Indian Police Act, 1861 and established Indian police force to suppress any movement of the people but the same law is still being applied in 'free' India, the CorCom said.

According to the CorCom statement, the origin of Section 124-A of the IPC which relates to Sedition Law frequently being used against anyone speaking against Indian government is The Treason Act, 1795 of the British.

The British started using Sedition Law in India from 1835 and later as criminal offence from 1870.Though India knew that several laws enacted by the British imprisoned many freedom fighters, the word sedition was removed from Indian Constitution but sedition is still being enforced under Section 124-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) thereby preventing anyone from speaking or raising their voices against mistakes of the government.

At one point of time, Indians exposed execesses of colonial British through literary works, dramas and plays and instilled a sense of patriotism among the people.

To stop this, the British introduced The Dramatic Performance Act, 1876 and the same Act is still being applied in the so-called free India except in Delhi and West Bengal.

As majority of the existing laws are of British era, there is Rule by Law instead of Rule of Law in India and the country is gradually becoming a dictatorial regime.

By virtue of enforcement of these unmatured laws, nine states of India are facing boundary disputes and boundary related conflicts are now beginning to take lives of innocent people.

As a result of application of India's unmatured laws and rules, Manipur is gradually becoming a land of conflict between communities, districts, villages and localities.

The CorCom statement further said Manipur (Kangleipak) already had its own constitution and a government elected by the people in the form of Constitutional Monarch before India became a nation and had Constitution.

However, attempts are being made by some pseudo historians to wrongly interpret the true history of the earswhile in dependent nation, it said and maintained that indigenous communities settling in Manipur (Kangleipak) should understand the true history of the land and how different communities gradually merged to become Meetei/Meitei community after living together for a long time.
