Imphal, May 11 2017:
The proscribed UNLF has claimed that it was their armed wing MPA which attacked troops of 165 Bn Territorial Army at Lokchao along Imphal-Moreh highway on May 8 which killed two TA personnel and injured another.
A press release issued by the outfit's department of publicity director M Sak-hen said that the attack was a part of the UNLF's continuous liberation movement.
Informing that the attack was carried out by a small team of MPA, the outfit conveyed regret for the Manipuri natives who were killed and injured in the attack.
As a policy of the Government of India, many of the Indian military forces deployed in Manipur are natives of the State which is aimed at igniting an internecine war.
As such, Manipur natives serving in Indian armed forces should be wary of such policy.
The way Indian military forces harassed and detained civilians travelling along the highway in the aftermath of the attack only exposed that they are enemies of the people of Manipur, it alleged.
