Imphal, August 10 2018:
The 14th death anniversary of Pebam Chittaranjan who self immolated against the draconian AFSPA and who had since earned the sobriquet 'Human Torch' would be observed on August 16 .
Speaking to media persons at the Kwakeithel office of AMUCO this afternoon, MSF working president Lucky Konsam said that a statue of Pebam Chittaranjan would be unveiled at Bishnupur in the morning of August 16 .
After paying floral tributes to the anti-AFSPA crusader at his native place Sega Road Takhellambam Leikai, a rally would be taken from there to THAU ground, Thangmeiband where a public meeting would be held.
A blood donation camp would also be organised as a part of the death anniversary function, Lucky said.
He then appealed to all organisations/ people not to call any bandh or blockade on August 16 and also not to organise any entertainment programme on the day.
He said that MSF will not rest until Pebam Chittaranjan's fight against AFSPA is brought to its logical conclusion.
A T-shirt commemorating the death anniversary function was also launched at the press meet.
