Major Thouba of KYKL read out the statement of N Oken issued in connection with the day to the gathering, said the statement.
In his address as the chief guest of the function, Toijam Ibochou traced the genesis of the armed movement to its current position and touched on the primary tasks that the revolutionaries of the region should take up unitedly.
There is also the need to study how much stride the armed struggle has achieved in the face of globalisation and how to take it forward, added Ibochou, said the statement.
There is the need for a united struggle to take the movement forward, he added.
Giving the guest of honour address, K KoroU of the KYKL talked on the armed movement for 'sovereignty' and the need to protect the identity of the people and the land.
The thrust given by the armed movement to the struggle launched by different armed groups of WESEA and the people to protect their identity was also deliberated upon.
Until and unless complete independence of WESEA including Kangleipak is achieved, it would not be possible to protect the identity of the people and the land, he said.
