Bharat is not new enemy to us: RPF acting president-II
Source: Chronicle News Service

Imphal, September 25 2024: Continuing his message on the occasion of the 46th Raising Day of PLA, RPF acting president Mm Ngouba said the independence of Bharat is merely in name and they have never abandoned the British colonial mentality of greed and encroachment on others' territories; instead, they embraced it and advanced even more forcefully.

Though they claim to have been independent for over 70 years, nothing has changed regarding Bharat's divide-and-rule system or its oppressive laws.

Today's Bharat has no real foundation; it is simply the colonial crown passed from the British to them.

In reality, it's a country built on oppressing and stripping away the rights of the many smaller nations, all under the dominance of a powerful society defined by one particular religion and language.

As some in Bharat have said, their so-called independence was merely an exchange of power from 'one set of crooks to another set of crooks'.

The Bharat government has continued the colonial occupation of others' land, a practice once carried out by the British, but now perpetuated by Bharat, Mm Ngouba said.

According to Ngouba, dreaming of an Akhanda Bharat, they forcibly annexed many nation-states, and where annexation was not possible, they sought to encroach on neighbouring countries' territories or pressured them into becoming client states under Bharat's influence, a clear extension of colonial tactics.

They still haven't returned the territory that belongs to Nepal, cunningly merged Sikkim with Bharat, and have kept Bhutan as an undeclared vassal state of Bharat.

There will be no good outcome for evil deeds.

People from every corner fed up and intolerant, have risen up to stand against Bharat's colonial encroachment tactics, loudly opposing their actions.

Nepal has now raised its voice, demanding the return of its encroached territorial land from Bharat.

The people of the Maldives have demonstrated that they will not tolerate Bharat's infringement in the internal politics of the Maldives.

Bhutan has begun asserting her rights in the management of her own affairs.

Agitations and movements against Bharat's colonial encroachment tactics towards neighbouring countries have grown significantly stronger and more powerful today.

One very distinguished example is the movement in Bangladesh.

This movement represents one of the most significant defeats for Bharat's colonial mindset and its behaviour as a dominant power.

India s support for Awami League is not a recent development, it dates back to the time when Bangladesh was formerly East Pakistan.

The current situation has been driven by the Indian efforts to transform Bangladesh into a client state of India, orchestrated through Awami League under the tutelage of Sheikh Hasina and her family.

Awami League's ability to hold onto power for more than a decade and a half was largely due to India's support, a fact they don't event attempt to conceal, the acting president elaborated.

He further stated that prior to the most recent election, the then general secretary of the Awami League, during a visit to India openly acknowledged that the party was able to rule only because of India's support.

His statement sparked a major controversy in Bangladesh at that time.

Under the pretext of suppressing the 'insurgents' from the 'North East Region' and 'Islamist Extremists', they allowed Indian spy agencies to operate freely at various districts of Bangladesh.

With India's support, they began governing the country in a manner resembling a police state.

Members of the opposition parties were imprisoned, subjected to clandestine killings and enforced disappearances, exited to various countries, and faced numerous other actions, effectively eliminating those who opposed Sheikh Hasina.

Awami League forcibly conducted the last election without any opposition, and subsequently, began ruling in a manner reminiscent of a dictatorship.

The dissatisfaction with the regime's authoritarianism and Indian influence reached such an intolerable level, sparking a student-led protest that quickly evolved into a movement to overthrow the regime.

True to her dictatorial nature, Sheikh Hasina resorted to force and violence, leading to the loss of hundreds of civilian and student lives.

The scale of violence and death, unseen since the Bangladesh Independence war, galvanized the population, prompting many to join the uprising and further intensify the movement.

In an attempt to control the situation, Sheikh Hasina deployed the army, but the Bangladesh Army refused to comply, taking a stand against shooting students and civilians.

This refusal ultimately sealed Sheikh Hasina's fate.

Among Sheikh Hasina's actions to appease India, one was the signing of an extradition agreement with India on July 28, 2016.Following this agreement, many cadres including the revolutionary leaders from the 'North East' were arrested and extradited to India.

In response to Sheikh Hasina's prior action done under the extradition agreement, the people of Bangladesh have now began demanding her return to the country.

In an article titled 'Bangladesh Free from Indian Rahu', published in a reputed Bangladeshi newspaper, the issue was raised that even the 'Freedom Fighters of Manipur' were handed over to India under the previous agreement.

Therefore, the article questioned, why should Sheikh Hasina not be handed back to Bangladesh in the same manner? Contrary to respecting the interests of Bangladesh and its people, India, as per its character, persisted its nefarious activities.

Courtesy of these activities, India's covert interests in Bangladesh were exposed.

Immediately after Sheikh Hasina fled the country and even before she set foot on Indian soil, India's interests began to manifest from multiple directions.

Their initial move was to stoke fears of future armed clashes along the Bangladesh border.

Subsequently, they repeatedly sought to frame the current people's movement of Bangladesh within the context of 'Foreign Influence' on several occasions.

Inflammatory statements circulated widely, suggesting if Bangladesh attempted to strengthen ties with China, India would expand its 'Chicken Neck' corridor and reignite disruption again in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) by supporting the insurgents, or even push for the integration of CHT into India's 'North East'.

Furthermore, India unashamedly expressed that had they occupied Bangladesh after defeating Pakistan in the 1971 war, the current crises in Bangladesh would never have arisen.

In the most recent attempt to threaten Bangladesh, India's defence minister stated that, given the situation in Bangladesh, the Indian Army should make preparations for war.

When individuals speak out against India, it attempts to silence them or pressure the host nation to take action, claiming such dissent impacts its national interests.

In addition, India consistently applies pressures on platforms' used by these individuals, resulting in bans, restrictions, or fines as a form of punishment.

Immediately after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's regime, numerous statements affecting Bangladesh's national interests were released and circulated by the Indian media.

These statements did not come from the ordinary citizens but from highly influential figures.

When it comes to its own national interests, India demands others to refrain from discussing or interfering in matters that affect it.

However, when its own citizens speak out against the interest of other countries, particularly its immediate neighbours, India permits such actions.

This suggests the Indian government is tacitly approving or allowing its people to engage in such activities.

India is driven exclusively by territorial ambition and lacks any genuine intention to respect the diverse groups or communities within or beyond its border.

It remains a country clinging to its colonial mindset, as clearly reflected in its narrative and actions.

The issues happening both within and outside India were neither unexpected nor rare occurrences.

India's deeply ingrained corrupt mindset has systematically led to these events, unfolding over time.

It would be a grave mistake if our people still believe that a country with such corrupt mindset will deliver justice and alleviate our sufferings.

Rather than easing our struggles, it is highly likely that we will encounter an even worse situation, one that could render us beyond recovery.

This is clearly illustrated by the current crisis in Manipur.

Despite being aware of their harmful nature, if our people still look to these colonizers and its occupying forces for justice, it would be akin to asking a monkey to divide a flatbread fairly.

The unfortunate reality is that the people of Manipur find themselves trapped this very situation.

If we continue to trust them to deliver justice while still under their colonial rule, the only outcome will be further deterioration and worsening conditions for our people and various other communities, Mm Ngouba continued in his message.

Concluding his message, the RPF acting president said RPF and other revolutionary groups have been consistently warning that 'our motherland' and our people will face even greater hardships if we continue to remain dependent under their rule.

India is solely driven by its greed for land, with no concern for the safety and prosperity of the people of this region, he said and conveyed the message to march forward in unison, bearing the torch of revolution to liberate the suppressed people.
