Imphal, May 04 2023:
The Socialist Revolutionary Party (SOREPA) Kangleipak has appealed to all the people of the land who have been living together since ages to calm down and work collectively towards restoration of peace and harmony.
The violent clash seen today is a grave loss for all the communities and Kangleipak/Manipur, said a press release issued by the outfit's Publicity and Organisation Secretary MC Yaiphabi.
"We should not fall prey to the evil designs of external forces who have been conspiring to create animosity among the people of the land", it said.
"All should remember that Kangleipak/Manipur was built with the sweat and blood of our forefathers belonging to all the communities", it said.
The outfit asserted that momentary impulses should not be allowed to destroy the age old bond of fraternity.
For quite a long time, external forces have been conspiring to create animosity among the indigenous people of the land, it said.
Kangleipak/Manipur is not an exclusive domain of any single community.
It was an independent country formed by around 40 ethnic groups.
The alien rule has been driving wedges to separate the indigenous communities and sustain their dominance, it alleged.
It is the alien rule's proverbial distribution of bread by monkey which has been creating unrest among the communities, the outfit said.
It then appealed to all the people not to believe false propaganda floated through social media which are aimed at provoking the communities against each other.
If there have been excesses, one must forget and forgive each other, it said.
It pointed out that the Kuki-Chin, Meitei, Meitei-Pangal, Naga and Mizo etc share common genealogy.
"We are all indigenous communities of WESEA", it added.
