On January 26, 2024, (Friday), ‘captain’ Semjetsabam Shamungou Meitei (49), alias Dhana of the proscribed MYL/KYKL passed away due to an unfortunate incident. Late Dhana, son of Samjetsabam Babuhal Meitei and Samjetsabam ongbi Leikham Leima was a resident of Thinungei Mamang Leikai, Ward no. 9.
According to a press note issued by the Convener, Publicity Committee, Alliance for Socialist Unity, Kangleipak (ASUK), a conglomerate of proscribed outfits. During his lifetime, Dhana paid respect to elders and friends while being a humble, disciplined, self-less person and a patriotic revolutionary warrior. He also led many youth towards the correct way for the welfare of the society.
One can respectfully recall what he stated on the 43rd anniversary function of KCP in 2023 as the chief guest of the event. As per the press note, ASUK recalled what Dhana said and quoted him, “Many of our youth, both boys and girls have become drug-users and they are the victims trapped in the net cast by druglords”. He further said “Many of these druglords have become rich and have made inroads into electoral politics so as to govern the people. Once they become part of the governance, there has been absolute chaos in the society. The lives of our people have reached the point of despair. In order to rejuvenate our society, there is a need to unite for a collective war on drugs.”
“With due respect to our beloved comrade Dhana, we promise that we will continue to follow the way that you have shown to us and fulfil what we could not achieved while you were still alive”, said the press note. ASUK said that Dhana had during his lifetime took part in many campaigns against the enemy. With his untimely departure, not only KYKL and ASUK but also all the people of our land will not be able to fill in the void left by Dhana, said ASUK.
