PPCM convenor Dr Y Mani Khuman said that only a political struggle can redeem Manipur which has been enveloped by a thick sheath of darkness.
It is a matter of serious concern that the State has degraded to such a sorry state in all aspects whether it be economy, culture or traditions.
"The situation is so poignant that we feel like we cannot survive without begging", Dr Mani said.
He said that all the people need to introspect on the prevailing situation and its causes.
In order to hand over a peaceful and progressive Manipur to the future generations, the present generation need to follow the footsteps of Lamyanba Irabot, he exhorted.
Factionalism and disunity would only help outsiders take control of the State administration.
He then called upon all to build a society where there is no difference between the hilts and the valley.
The contemporary Manipuri society desperately needs a revolutionary leader like Irabot who can sacrifice his life for the cause of the Nation.
It's time to introspect how far Manipuri society is able to adapt to the international dynamics.
If the society cannot adapt to the global changes, the society would be doomed, Dr Mani said.
