Imphal, March 22 2012:
On the occasion of Sajibu Nongma Panba Cheiraoba, the banned outfit PREPAK has greeted all the people of Kangleipak/Manipur as well as the Manipuri diasporas scattered outside the State.
In a press release issued by the outfit's publicity and propaganda assistant secretary Leibakngakpa Luwang wished that this auspicious occasion may herald an age of peace, prosperity and equality in Kangleipak which is otherwise being allegedly exploited by India.
"By celebrating Cheiraoba, let's stand united and firm for an independent Kangleipak and an egalitarian society", the outfit called out.
Remarking that Sajibu Cheiraoba is one such festival which identifies Kangleipak as a separate nation, the outfit stated that Kanglei nation started celebrating Cheiraoba since the time of Nongda Lairen Pakhangba.
It further asserted that only those who have a thorough understanding of their own identity, culture and tradition embody nationalism in the real sense of the term.
