Imphal, August 13 2023:
Boycotting celebration of India's Independence Day in Manipur, the armed Kangleipak Communist Party-People's War Group (KCP-PWG) has imposed emergency on August 15 from 6 am to 6 pm .
The emergency, however, will be exempted for movement relating to essential and emergency services and media, a KCP-PWG statement informed.
According to a KCP-PWG statement issued by its central media coordinator comrade Leniin Meitei, Manipur was forcibly merged to India in 1949 and India government accepts this forcible merger.
Accordingly, India government applied dictorship rule in Manipur under the shadow of democracy as India fully understands that people of Manipur cannot be suppressed for a long time.
The KCP-PWG statement further said India got independence on August 15, 1947 after a long decolonization process.
However, people of the country do not get real freedom when India got independence as it was a mere transfer of the colonial system of British India to neo-imperialist India and or simply the transfer of colonial hegemony, the KCP-PWG said.
The KCP-PWG statement further said India is a newly created country while Manipur existed as sovereign nation long before the creation of India.
Even though the British occupied Manipur, it was never under the colonial British India and remained as a protectorate province under the British Crown.
When the British left, Manipur regained its sovereign status but India annexed the land in 1949 and since then the people of Manipur remained as slaves.
As there is no reason for the people of Manipur to join India's Independence Day celebration, emergency has been imposed on August 15, the statement added.
