The People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) has strongly condemned the deadly aerial attack that claimed the lives of two top leaders of the United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent) — Lt. General Nayan Ahom and Brigadier Ganesh Ahom — on 13th July.
The incident occurred on Sunday between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM in the United Base Area, a forested stretch spanning from Langwa in Nagaland to Pangsu Pass in Arunachal Pradesh, known to house several camps of insurgent groups.
According to PREPAK, the fourth camp in this region came under a coordinated airstrike involving fighter jets and nearly 150 drones, allegedly of Israeli and French origin. The attack, believed to be part of a broader counteroffensive operation by Indian Security Forces, also left several ULFA (I) cadres either injured or dead.
In a statement issued by Mangal Khuman, Publicity Officer of PREPAK’s Department of Publicity and Propaganda, the outfit denounced the use of high-tech weaponry and foreign drone technology in the remote jungles of the India-Myanmar border region. While acknowledging that the action was “not a random act of violence,” PREPAK described it as a politically motivated operation aimed at destabilising the broader resistance movement across the WESEA (Western South East Asia) region.
PREPAK said the attack was an extension of what they termed “imperialist India’s hegemonic design” and urged the people to remain vigilant. The statement added that the timing and precision of the airstrike indicated an escalation of India’s counterinsurgency strategy using foreign military support.
However, the group also expressed deep discontent over the intra-regional conflict, stating that such assaults only benefit external forces and weaken indigenous struggles for self-determination. PREPAK appealed for unity among all revolutionary movements and reiterated that the fight against the “Indian occupational force” must not be diverted by division or manipulation.
Calling for solidarity among the people of Manipur and the WESEA region, PREPAK reaffirmed its ideological stance and commitment to what it described as a “sacred mission” to protect their land, people, and future generations.
The outfit further urged international observers and regional communities to take note of the evolving militarisation of the Indo-Myanmar border and its implications on local populations.
