Imphal, March 10 2011: The proscribed KYKL has resolved to resume its suspended New Operation Kangleipak (ONK) with effect from March 10, 2011 .

A statement issued by the outfit's publicity and research secretary Lanngamba Mangang informed that the outfit resolved to resume the ONK after the party's central committee deliberated on the matter at length in February following public demand.

Reiterating the crucial importance of education in the perception of KYKL, the outfit noted that the Manipuri Nation seems to be drifting from the goal of National liberation even though the Nation has been struggling for sovereignty.

Asserting that the Manipuri Nation has been degenerating to a stage unfit to be a sovereign Nation, the outfit stated that it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Manipur Nation is unfit to be sovereign in view of the degenerated culture, tradition and practices.

Independence can be achieved only when there is a mass movement, led by revolutionary groups as vanguards.

"The moot question here is, how can we achieve independence when revolutionary groups and revolutionary cadres have strayed from their intended path and goal while the people are no longer fit to constitute a sovereign Nation", the outfit stated.

Observing that a mindset of dependency (on others) has taken firm roots among the indigenous people, the outfit noted that a notion that Manipur would not be able to survive without external assistance has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the Manipuri people.

Now people find it hard to believe that Manipur existed with self-sufficiency on its own resources without any external aid before 1949 .

With Delhi fully dictating the politics of Manipur, people have lost faith in their capability to defend their own land.

The politics of Manipur is all about begging money from Delhi and those who could bring the maximum amount from New Delhi are considered as the most competent leaders, it asserted.

"Our culture has become so corrupt that most people have imbibed a principle of surviving and prospering through trickery, deceit and duplicity.

We have lost our work culture over the years", the outfit noted.

On the contrary, people have imbibed a culture of poverty.

Even though some people are rich in the sense that they have lots of money, they are still poor in terms of productivity, that is, they have poor capability.

The Manipuri society has also lost its cultural capital.

Character education which is crucial in grooming future generations is absent in the society.

The society is not giving due importance and regard to education, the outfit asserted.

With corruption, fraudulence, prevarication, hypocrisy, summary execution, levelling false allegations etc becoming socially acceptable practices, there are very few people endowed with wisdom, sense of justice, fortitude, self-control, love, positive attitude, industriousness, integrity, sense of gratitude and humility.

Rather, people with integrity and good character are being viewed as fools.

With mutual trust disappearing from the society, the society has also lost social capital as well as organizational capacity.

The traditional institution of Singlup has become extinct whereas most of the local clubs have become defunct.

The civil society has also degenerated to the lowest level.

Because of all these factors and reasons, sense of nationalism and patriotism is also dying down which in turn has considerably reduced national strength.

On account of lack of unity among the people, most of the mass movements ended up in failure.

With the number of self-seeking individuals multiplying fast coupled with frequent incidents of 'guards becoming thieves', people are reluctant to follow any organisation and they do not have any faith in any leader.

People do not have any confidence or hope for future.

The Manipur society has been entangled in a culture of hopelessness.

As expected from a hopeless society, people have lost any long term vision.

People have lost the faculty of transitive thinking as demanded by the existing reality.

Without giving any thought to what is happening in the society, people have imbibed a culture of silence about rising any voice about their likes, dislikes, wish or aspirations.

With intellectuals and experts gone into hibernation and in the absence of any leader, Manipuri people have lost their national strength, the KYKL asserted.
