IMPHAL, November 23: The outlawed United National Liberation (UNLF) has extended greetings to the people of the State on the occasion of its 51st Rising Day which falls on November 24.
In a statement issued by Central Committee of UNLF, the outfit said ‘Chahigi Warol-2015’ of the Central Committee has been released in connection with the rising day.
It reiterated that people of Western South East Asia (WESEA) share common origin, identity and need collective effort to become self-reliant.
It said the healthy relationship shared by the outfit with other revolutionary groups in the State is based on these strong beliefs.
People are aware of the fact that the revolutionary movement in the State which has crossed 60 years is going through a difficult phase. On one hand, the revolutionary movement launched based on ethno exclusive has been degraded while on the other, the revolutionary movement solely launched for national liberation struggle has also been heading without much significant achievement, the statement said.
Admitting that the much needed collective strength to achieve the set revolutionary goals is lacking behind which is due to the revolutionary wars waged and sought only for a particular community, the UNLF Central Committee pointed out that there is an apparent contradiction between the people in terms of beliefs and mindset which needs to be rectified.
UNLF strongly believed that only collective revolutionary movement in the State can address and bring an amicable solution to the witnessing trust deficit, confrontation and misunderstanding amongst the people, it maintained.
Referring to the ideology of ‘Chahigi Warol’-2015’, the outfit said human freedom will be attained only when there is no enmity, suppression and communal mindset in the world.
It asserted that revolutionary movement in the society will continue till there is suppression and oppression of community group by another group.
UNLF alleged that the alarming influx of outsiders into the State is a deliberate attempt by the colonial rule to establish racial assimilation to create animosity amongst the different communities.
It also charged the Central Government with trying to create enmity amongst the people of hills by hinting that Meitei community would prosper if it gets ST status.
The revolutionary movement sustained by UNLF is a democratic revolution for saving every community from falling prey to the hands of the colonial rule, the statement said.
Stating that the first and foremost goal of the outfit’s revolutionary movement is to fetch independence of Manipur kingdom from the clutches of the Indian colonial rule, the Central Committee in the statement pledged that the outfit will continue with its struggle to root out authoritarian rule and establish an egalitarian society.
It also mentioned that UNLF terms its revolutionary movement as National People’s Democratic Revolution as the inevitable movement is being lunched to free people from suppression and establish a people government where there is no dictatorship and authoritarian rule.
Democracy and socialism are two inseparable entities much needed for establishing an egalitarian society, it added.
On the eve of its 51st Rising Day, the Central Committee of UNLF in the statement also greeted the revolutionary outfits of WESEA, party members of CORCOM, victimised Kashmiri people and Indian Maoists fighting against Indian capitalist rule.
