IMPHAL, January 20: As in previous years, several armed outfits of the region have jointly called a total boycott of the Indian Republic Day 2015.
A joint statement of the Coordination Committee (CorCom), Manipur, Kamatapur Liberation Organization (KLO), National Democratic Front of Boroland (S) United Liberation Front of Asom (I) has said that like in the previous years, the outfits have decided that the region should collectively boycott the Indian Republic Day, 2015.
It has further appealed to the people of the region to safely remain indoors supporting a total shutdown of activities from 9 pm of January 25 to 6 pm of January 26.
It said the restriction is however, not applicable to emergency services, media and religious activities.
The statement said `With the spectacular success of Narendra Modi`™s brand of politics, India is gearing up to celebrate her Republic day of this Union of states on 26th of January 2015.`
`Youths of the WESEA region in the 21st century, in their formative years seem to be charmed by Modi Magic; and are unaware of the tightening noose of this unitary State as envisioned by its Constitution makers who are tutored by their British colonial masters.`
In the last decade of the 20th Century, a few sections of the educated youths of our Region, instead of calling for our legitimate right for self-determination and breaking away from the Indian colonial rule, were looking for federal solution for self-rule. It was quite clear then, that, they had very poor understanding of the core-issue of the conflict that is the annexation of our region by India under threat and coercion, at the same time, the hidden agenda of the basic underlying Principle on which India was established by abolishing above 300 small independent states and unions to make it happen,` it said.
These days religion taking the driving seat in Indian politics, we at the Indian occupied WESEA, need to be acutely alert that none of our constituent Nations have a religious identity, the joint statement of the outfits said.
Any group who may have a nascent aim to have a religion based political identity would be a misfit in our collective psyche, it said.
The WESEA identity is `gene pool`™ based with our ancient wisdom mixed with modern political motto such as `Liberty, Equality, Fraternity`™ coined by the French Republic would be a distinctive `tectonic plate`™ to bring down Indian Occupation of Our Region, it said.
`However, we must be realistic. The Indian establishment by refusing to remove the vicious `Armed Forces Special Power Act (1958)`, which is sanctioned by its Parliament forcibly impose only in our region legalize the military occupation over our region. This has proven repeatedly that Our Region is occupied deceitfully and being held forcibly for the sake of the much used phrase `the unity and integrity of the Nation`™`.
The yearly celebration of this Republic day of India in our Region is not of a normal federal entity, but an unavoidable ritual imposed by an aligned Central Rule over an occupied territory with total Central Control in critical areas to maintain the grip over India`™s geography at the present and in the future, it said.
Some people in the WESEA region unwittingly, or wittingly because of self interest have been taking part in India celebrating her Republic Day. Such partaking`™s are insults to our valiant nationalistic souls of the region who have given their all to undo the wrong that took place at the folding in period of the British Dominion over the WESEA and even today.
The Indianizing slogans that have been drummed continuously into the new generations of our youths may be working, it said adding that they are either beginning to hide their own identities wrapping the Indian tricolor or have drunk the potion to enter the Wonderland`™ full of dark secrets they cannot fathom out.
