Imphal, September 25 2010:
Calling upon all to find out the agents and causes behind the numerous cases of criminal activities, murders and unwanted incidents related with the revolutionary movement being witnessed today, the RPF chief asserted that those unemployed youngsters who were given jobs as security personnel at the cost of huge bribe money have been indulging in extortion, robbery and collection of money by joining hands with pseudo revolutionaries to get back the money they spent on securing their jobs.
Such anti-social activities like killing innocent civilians just for a sum of money he/she was carrying, killing retired revolutionary cadres in fake encounters, forcing drug addicts languishing in jails to lob 'extortion bombs' and demanding ransom after pulling up people in the name of suspects are all perpetrated with tacit support of the Government, Chaoren alleged.
"It's time our people launch strong mass movements against the political leaders who are leading the security personnel notorious for terrorizing the mass", he called out.
The innumerable Indian security forces being deployed in Manipur are sent here by New Delhi to keep the State under their alien rule.
"Security forces acting as benevolent agents to our people are just a temporary ploy aimed at suppressing the revolutionary movement.
Their civic action programmes are baits used for luring our people.
There is no guarantee that Indian security forces would not bare their fangs and unmask their ferocious identity to our people as done earlier when there were encounters with revolutionaries", president cautioned.
Fully aware of the excessive activities and their inhuman character, Indian security forces were not given any foothold in Canada and China.
One day or the other, the Indian security personnel would surely turn against the people.
As such befriending them would amount to keeping venomous snakes right under own beds.
Regarding non-Manipuris, the president asserted that the issue cannot be taken any lightly for their population (non-Manipuris) now constitutes one-third of the total population of Manipur.
Even today, their number is increasing day by day like flood water.
They have been making their permanent settlements here and trying to expand their own community.
Some years back, they were concentrated in some areas but now they spread to every nook and cranny of Manipur.
They have been slowly and steadily consolidating all kinds of trade activities ranging from trades of minimum volume to the most voluminous ones.
A few years hence, they would be in control of all sources of the people's livelihood and Manipur would be reduced to subservient state where the indigenous people survive at the mercy non-local people.
"On account of such possible scenario, giving shelter to the non-Manipuris who are coming with a mission to oust the indigenous people from their ancestral land would tantamount to heaping an immovable load over the shoulders of our future generations", the RPF chief stated.
Remarking that the Manipur Government's measures to protect non-Manipuris and confinement of non-locals who wish to go back to their native States would not go well in future, the president forewarned that in the event of large scale killings of non-Manipuris, conflict between Manipuris and Indian people would rise to an unprecedented level.
"To avert any long lasting enmity between the two countries, all of us should work towards ensuring safe return of all non-Manipuris to their respective native states", he asserted.
Accusing the incumbent Government of misleading the youth in the name of suppressing the revolutionary movement, the president further alleged that the Government has been sending youngsters to revolutionary groups to steal arms, weapons and documents after luring them with jobs and rewards.
Not only this, the Government used these youngsters as their tool during counter insurgency operations in identifying hide-outs of revolutionary groups.
Other nefarious activities of the Government included enacting surrender dramas by using surrendered cadres, making false propaganda against revolutionary groups by using expelled cadres and forcing them to indulge in anti-social activities which can sully image of revolutionary groups.
"Yet, all these activities and strategies of the political leaders to weaken the tide of the revolutionary movement would never yield the desired result.
Rather this would intensify animosity amongst ourselves and this may lead our people on the path of fraternal killings", the president cautioned.
"It's time we unite together and stand firm to save our land from the political leaders who have been misleading our youth with the malicious intention to ignite fraternal killings, besides perpetually scheming to keep the people under the colonial rule like slaves for eternity in exchange for some benefits of their own", the RPF chief called out.
