Imphal, October 04:
The proscribed PREPAK has claimed that the ambush upon a convoy of 143 Bn CRPF at Khonglong along NH 53 yesterday in which 6 CRPF were killed and 7 others injured was undertaken by a team of its Red Army.
A statement issued by the PREPAK Department of Publicity and Propaganda in-charge Aheiba Angom informed that all its cadres taking part in the ambush have returned to their unit camps safe and sound.
The other cadres involved in the Umathel ambush have also arrived at their unit camps without any harm.
The outfit has also congratulated all the Red Army cadres who fought bravely and relentlessly against the security forces.
The recent exploits of the Red Army have re-instilled confidence among the mass that the lost sovereignty of the of the land will be regained one day, asserted Aheiba.
At such a juncture when the security forces are allegedly caught in a helpless situation following successful strikes against them in southern and western parts of the State in quick succession, another team of valiant Red Army launched another attack against an AR troop at Lamjao Mayai Leikai in Thoubal district last night.
Consequent upon the valiant attack, the AR troops were dumb-founded and froze with fear.
They sought reinforcement from all directions.
Asserting that the AR troops might have suffered several casualties, the outfit clarified that there no casualty among the Red Army cadres.
The usual unalterable act of security forces to commit all kinds of atrocities against innocent unarmed civilians in the aftermath of such ambushes is a clear testimony to the fact that they are being sent to Manipur to commit a systematic pogrom, alleged Aheiba.
The outfit further appealed to the people to extend all possible cooperation to it.
