PREPAK (Progressive) accused local Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) of being New Delhi’s “proxy leaders,” alleging that after winning elections, they fail to hold meaningful discussions with local communities and prioritise attending religious rituals and public functions over governance.

TFM Desk

On the 16th Progressive Day of the proscribed PREPAK (Progressive) on June 1, its chairman, Longjam Paliba M, issued a strongly worded statement alleging that India has lost its credibility as a “Vishwa Guru” and has instead become a “Vishwa Joker.”

In the press release, the proscribed group accused India’s electoral system of being fundamentally flawed, claiming that elections in Manipur resemble an “auction market” where votes are effectively sold to the highest bidder. The statement further alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) and those who handle Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) “decide everything,” rendering voters powerless.

The organisation also accused local Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) of being New Delhi’s “proxy leaders,” alleging that after winning elections, they fail to hold meaningful discussions with local communities and prioritise attending religious rituals and public functions over governance. “People now felt that the emancipation from these India’s proxy leaders is initially necessary so as to decolonise from India,” the statement read.

PREPAK (Progressive) further alleged that Manipur’s natural resources and land — constituting 90% of the state — have been “wrongfully handed over to anti-Meitei communities” through what it called a “colonial” pre-planned law. The group also accused certain MLAs of being indifferent to violence, including the killing of two minors in Tronglaobi and the violence in Ukhrul and Kamjong districts, claiming that such incidents are “quickly forgotten after sipping a peg of liquor.”

In a highly charged section, the proscribed organisation alleged that New Delhi has refused to condemn Israel’s actions in Palestine, while also accusing the Kuki community — referred to derogatorily as “Narco-terrorists” and “the lost tribe of Israel” — of committing massacres against indigenous communities. The statement claimed that a US-Israel-led global hegemon is pursuing a “New World Order” through religious zeal, and alleged that India is following the ancient Mandala Game Theory of Chanakya, which it said would “ultimately wipe out Manipur”.

The press release concluded with a call for the youth to consolidate their energy to “save Eema leipak Manipur” and to recognise that New Delhi’s strategic aim is to end Meitei insurgency by purging the indigenous community.
