IMPHAL | Oct 9

The proscribed PREPAK (Progressive) on the occasion of its 41st rising day of Red army has extended revolutionary salute greetings to the people of Manipur, revolutionary members, leaders of like-minded revolutionary parties of the WESEA region and respects to all the departed souls in the course of the liberation struggle.

The chairman of the outfit, L. Paliba in his message said Northeastern communities are endlessly being discriminated against by mainland Indians and various forms of criminal activities including murder are being perpetrated against the people.

Sometime back many communities fled en masse from many parts of Indian states because of atrocities and threats, which were even highlighted in many media as akin to that of the infamous mass exodus of India-Pakistan partition, it said. 

The release continued that anti-Indian feelings are implanted in this region by India itself.

Even though many European thinkers and leaders foreboded the balkanization of the so called unified India, Indian leaders are proud that the prediction did not come true as India is not breaking up, which successfully completed 70 years with the principle of Unity in Diversity, it said, adding nevertheless movement of the Maoist/ Naxalite in the backbone central states of India, Kashmiri people’s movements are rising more and more, revolutionary struggle in WESEA regions are strengthening, even some states are demanding separate flags of their own.

The chairman further asked why did not Indian government respond to plebiscite demand of UNLF (Manipur) in 2005?

Further it said India is a sub-continent, many independent nations, countries must be formed which would safeguard the different cultures, languages, religions and faiths; it should not be under one single government.

It will tantamount to the dismantling of democratic values and swallowing up of minority indigenous communities if India tries to make it one nation, one language, one faith and one culture, the message read.
