Imphal, February 25 2022: Continuation .

"Even though India has occupied Manipur, the love of freedom which we have nourished in our hearts cannot be occupied.

This love of freedom is something that has engraved in the hearts of all of us which cannot be vanished by any forces.

It was the love of freedom that our forefathers had fought the mighty British Empire in 1891 even though defeat was inevitable.

It was because of this spirit that there was no intention to surrender even after the defeat".

The RPF president then said, "The liberation struggle that we are waging against Indian colonialism has not seen any defeat, so there is no question of trading Manipur's freedom by entering peace-talks with India.

As India is using several methods and ways to suppress our liberation struggle, we also need to find out new methods and ways to defeat India.

However, it does not mean that we think we can defeat India easily.

As strategy, we not only need the support of outside power but also a unified revolutionary front and struggle of all revolutionary groups of WESEA region is necessary and essential.

However, our first priority is making ourselves a complete and stronger revolutionary party".

Chaoren rued,' The revolutionary movement related problems faced by our people and lack of communication or misunderstanding between our people and revolutionary groups in recent times have strained the relationship between the two and it has negatively impacted the growth of revolutionary journey," and he explained, "However, problems faced by the people are not intentionally done by the revolutionary groups.

Any revolutionary group does not harbour the intention to cause any problem or injury or misery to people, it was purely creation of many compelling factors and situation".

He went on, "There were times, when revolutionaries tried to defend themselves from the clutches of enemy, our people had suffered because of this.

But it was not intentionally done by revolutionaries.

Such misunderstanding between our people and revolutionaries have hampered the growth of collective struggle of our people and revolutionaries against the colonial regime.

But we cannot make our revolution hinder due to these factors".

"It is the duties and responsibilities of every revolutionary group to chalk out new strategies to hasten the pace of our revolution.

In the process we should learn from the past mistakes and take the revolution forward by giving priority to life, liberty and property of our people.

We should carry our revolution along with masses based on the respect and understanding of the wishes of people.

Instead of spreading propaganda about the mistakes committed by the revolutionaries, which enemy has used as an instrument to suppress the revolution, our people should give a chance to the revolutionaries to rectify the mistakes through self-introspection," the RPF leader said.

"RPF believes in the collective independent struggle by uniting all the communities of Manipur irrespective of religion, ethnicity, languages and race.

Many individuals from the hill areas of Manipur who believed in our ideology had started to join the RPF.

However, some revolutionary groups started threatening the individuals and their family, this has led to a situation where conflict between the revolutionary groups became imminent possibility.

It is due to this fact RPF has to postpone the recruitment from among the hill areas," he said.

"Taking due advantage of the situation Indian colonial regime and their agent had spread propaganda that revolutionary groups of Manipur are confined to valley area only in order to throw our revolution in a wrong light.

Besides, Indian Army through the instrument of SOO and peace talks have built up the camps in the hill areas.

As a result there is difficulty of our organization in establishing camps and free movement in the hill areas.

This has hampered in the establishment of cordial relationship between people and revolutionary groups in the areas.

But situation has changed now because of the emergence of revolutionary groups, who are against the ideology of ethnic exclusivism and its futility.

Now people have realized the real danger of such ideology and Machiavellian tactics of Indian regime.RPF is marching the revolutionary journey with such groups through cooperation and collaboration for the liberation of Manipur.

This shows clearly that independence of Manipur is desire and wishes of every community inhabiting in Manipur," Chaoren added.
