Imphal, January 24 2010:
Asserting that the Republic Day of India has no relevance with Manipur, the proscribed KCP-MC has called upon all the people of the State to boycott the Republic Day celebration together.
A press release issued by the outfit's information and public relations officer Puranthaba asserted that the oppressed people of Manipur living under the alien rule could not relate to any function of the Government of India.
It's time people throw away the habit of being spectators of the deceitful plays of Ministers who have been infatuated with personal aggrandisement with the money sanctioned by New Delhi while allowing the rights of their own people to be trampled upon.
The outfit alleged that agents of Government of India are responsible for the sea of misery in which the people of Manipur are drowning, for pangs and agony of bereaved mothers, for the misfortune of young widows and distress of orphans.
Along with the people to boycott Republic Day celebration, the outfit asked all the people to stay indoors from midnight of January 25 till 5 pm of January 26 and also to suspend all entertainment programmes.
The outfit would also protest the Republic Day celebration by triggering bomb blasts and firing in the air at different places of Manipur, it added.
