The objective of this policy is to make 'Manipuris fight Manipuris' so as to blur the national contradiction between Manipur and India which in turn will help consolidate their colonial rule in Manipur.
The statement posited that the puppet state government of Manipur led by Ibobi is implementing the Indian policy in letter and spirit by killing scores of hundreds of his own tribe.
Now Ibobi's State Force, not covered by AFSPA's immunity, are doing the dirty job previously done by the IOF.
The policy makers in New Delhi think that 'this arrangement has kept the IOF free from blood stains thus reducing even the necessity of AFSPA'.
It will not be surprising, therefore, if AFSPA is ultimately withdrawn from the entire territory of Manipur.
However, this does not make any difference in Manipur's status under India's colonial rule and the extreme sufferings of our people under this repressive colonial regime.
Therefore, notwithstanding AFSPA is repealed/withdrawn or remains, we cannot but sustain our struggle until Indian colonial rule is overthrown.
Thus, the statement maintained, the real enemy of the People's Movement against the puppet state government led by Ibobi for killing innocent peoples is Indian colonial rule pulling the string from New Delhi.
The responsibility for the killing of 700 innocent peoples lies with Ibobi, the head of the puppet state government and his DGP.
Therefore, it stated, in order to mete out appropriate punishment to them our own People's Court should take up criminal proceedings against them along with those criminal commandos who actually carried out the killings.
Otherwise, instituting a 'Commission of Inquiry' and conducting trial within the corrupt Indian legal system, which have never delivered to their own peoples, will tantamount to providing a 'legal' escape door to the actual culprits and their mentor Ibobi and his Gang.
So as to avoid fratricidal killings among the people, the statement appealed to brothers in the State Force to stop killing innocent public.
If otherwise the killing continues, the UNLF will be compelled to take appropriate action against such criminals in the State Force who are guilty of committing homicide.
On unity of revolutionary parties, the statement said,the Manipur-India Conflict being the principal issue should be the issue to be given top priority for resolving by the collective strength and wisdom of our entire people.
But the problem is, the primary condition - internal unity of Manipur - required for the resolving the conflict is not yet complete.
In the context of Manipur, the unity should be achieved at two levels, which are unity of revolutionary organisations; and unity of ethnic groups, it stated.
However, the need of the hour is the working unity of our revolutionary organisations.
If there is unity among revolutionary organisations, significant progress towards achieving ethnic unity and resolving various other social issues could be made, the UNLF pointed out.
"From this perspective, the UNLF warmly welcomes the firm stand of the RPF on unity among revolutionary parties as adopted by the 2nd Congress of the party.
We hope that this development will lead to reactivation of the MPLF.
We also hope that PREPAK, another constituent-member of the MPLF, would resolve their internal problems at the earliest so as to take their due part in the reactivation of the MPLF," it stated.
Meanwhile, the unfortunate and unprecedented incident within the fraternal KYKL resulting in the loss of precious life, including a senior officer, shocked the UNLF painfully.
Whatsoever justified the reasons may be, the UNLF condemns the act of outright resort to rebellion and killings bypassing the constitutional provision for resolving internal problems, it conveyed.
"We hope that the KYKL will emerge even stronger from the temporary setback and take a major role in forging unity among revolutionary parties of Manipur and the Region as well," the statement conveyed.
The present reality that there is no other way but to fight together against India is understood by one and all.
The UNLF conviction and stand on unity remains firm as ever. It stated that the Indian government has realised that using the IOF for the killing job has all the more alienated our people from India.
