The ultimate decision is for the people to make, it added.

The outfit categorically rcounted the present status of the people grilling the series of history.

Imphal Times produce the details of what the outfit had stated.

Contradiction between Kangleipak and India: After Second World War, many oppressed nationalities of the world regained their lost freedom.

Kangleipak, which lost her freedom and became a British Protectorate after 1891 Anglo-Kanglei war, also regained her independence on August 14, 1947 .

With its own democratic constitution and national legislature, Kangleipak became an independent country.

The democratic constitution of Kangleipak was established on 1947 and a national assembly was formed through democratic election on October 18, 1948 .

After Philippines, Kangleipak became the second Asian country where a democratic government was established through universal adult franchise.

Under the aegis of British colonialism, Hindustan, now called Bharat/India, was formed for Hindus to spread the Hindu cultural hegemony.

With this understanding, Muslim representatives and representatives from Princely States were included in the Constituent Assembly.

Junagadh, Hyderabad, Kashmir, Kangleipak, Goa and Sikkim were forced into Indian Union using military might, violating all democratic rights of people of these territories.

On September 21, 1949, violating all international norms and treaties, India called the namesake King Bodhachadra to Shillong and force to signed the merger agreement under dueress putting him under house arrest.

In this manner, the independence of Manipur was snatched at the gun point of Assam Rifles platoons.

India forced King Bodhchandra, violating the provisions of Manipur Constitution Act (MCA) 1947 and Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VLCT), 1969, also known as 'treaty on treaties,' which rendered him powerless and with no authority on the matter, to signed the merger agreement at gun point.

This so-called agreement was rejected at the sitting at Manipur Assembly held at Johnstone School on September 28, 1949 .

The veil of Indian colonialism forced the national parliament, elected by both the people of valley and hills of Kangleipak, to oblivion.

Different organisations and educated youth of Manipur at that time voiced their opposition against this savage act of India.

This tragic event was reported in newspapers and magazines of Kangleipak and in the international media at that time.
