Imphal, September 28 2011:
The proscribed Revolutionary People's Front (RPF) and its armed wing, PLA have paid tributes to Hijam Irabot describing him as a pioneering leader who dedicated his life to the service of the people, more particularly, the farmers.
In a statement, secretary publicity of RPF T Leisemba observed that it is on account of his exemplary life that Hijam Irabot is being remembered by the people.
Stating that there would be no end to praising the qualities of Hijam Irabot, Leisemba exhorted the present generation to never try to put off the torch lit by Irabot.
Using of Irabot and giving message to the people by the Government of Manipur is nothing but a ploy to deceive the people.
What has the Government done anything like Irabot for the welfare of the people ?, Leisemba questioned, adding that they would never be able to live up to the status of Irabot.
Irabot is the only true son of Manipur and it should be the responsibility of the present generation to tread the path shown by him, Leisemba exhorted.
He maintained that till date Manipur has not been able to raise its head among the International community and every efforts made by Irabot in this regard are being subdued by the Government of India.
