On the occasion of the 35th Anniversary of Manipur People’s Army (MPA) of the proscribed United National Liberation Front, (UNLF), outfit’s Military Affairs Committee (MAC) extended greetings to all the communities coexisting peacefully for years in Manipur. In a statement issued by Media Coordinator of the outfit Th Charairongba, chairman Khundongbam Pambei has provided food for thought on various issues concerning the state.
MAC chairman Khundongbam Pambei said that for the “freedom struggle”, MPA had been launching attacks for a long time based on the support of the people and the UNLF. The outfit expressed gratitude to the people for the same reason.
The UNLF’s struggle since 1964 is aimed at regaining the lost sovereignty of Manipur and to protect the identity of the people. Besides the UNLF also attempting to free the society from the outsiders and external control and those who enforce India’s “colonial administration”. This is the only way to bring collective wellbeing to the people and the right to self-determination, said the MAC chairman adding that all peoples of Manipur/Kangleicha should be developed with a sense of self-reliance.
The MAC chairman said that India’s capitalist system has brought about a deep seated difference between the haves and the have-nots leading to a situation where it has indeed become difficult to survive day by day.
