Imphal, January 31 2013:
The 14th Maichou Ningshing Thouram was observed under the aegis of Cultural Preservation Centre (CPC), Chingmeirong Khongnang Ani Karak at GM Hall here today.
The function was attended by MLA of Wangjing Tentha A/C P Brojen as Chief Guest while Chief Medical Officer of Imphal West Bimolkumari and boxer MC Mary Kom were Guests of Honour.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Brojen stated that even though, we, the people of Manipur, who belong to different caste and creed, claim that there is the bond of everlasting love among us all since time immemorial, still there is the absence of that love deep within.
"Sweet words of mouth are not that is required.
It is the true love of the heart that really matters", he said.
The MLA further observed that it is through culture that the love and integrity among us all can be brought about.
We could be fully developed only when we are culturally, traditionally and linguistically developed and understand each other.
He also appealed to all the ethnic groups settling in Manipur not to harbour the idea of separatism.
"We should think as one entity even though we belong to different ethnic groups", he exhorted.
Offering of floral tributes to the photos of Maichous and observance of two minutes silence as a mark of respect to the departed souls marked the function.
