Imphal, September 19, 2009:
The proscribed RPF/PLA has greeted the Muslim (Meitei Pangal) community of Manipur on the auspicious occasion of Eid.
A press release issued by the outfit's publicity secretary T Leishemba asserted that mutual respect among different communities of Manipur can be restored and all misunder-standings removed when the people of Manipur can see through the alleged divide and rule policy of the Government of India.
The outfit appealed to the Muslim community to pray to the almighty Allah on the sacred occasion of Eid for a peaceful, sovereign Manipur where there is no form of exploitation.
Saying that the RPF never viewed the different communities of Manipur with different eyes, it asserted that the RPF has its principle of peaceful co-existence and mutual respect of each other's culture, tradition and ethos among all communities of Manipur.
