Imphal, May 10:
For the mass rally and public meeting scheduled tomorrow against the violence and criminal activities, the Working Committee of the Apunba Lup has completed all necessary preparations.
A statement issued by the Lup appealed to all the people come and participate in the rally and meeting in time.
Asserting that there is no one to protect lives and rights of civilians, the Lup observed that there is no option for the people other than joining hands and protect their lives and rights themselves.
The future destiny of Manipur should be shaped by the collective decision of the people, it stated while calling upon all to stand united on a common ground.
The primary concerns of the Apunba Lup at present is the recent spate of unwanted, violent activities perpetrated by both the State and non-State actors.
Amidst series of excesses allegedly committed by the State since 1949 such as forced disappearance, rape, killing of innocent civilians under false accusations of being UG cadres etc, the plight of the common people has been multiplied by various unwanted activities perpetrated by UG cadres, noted Apunba Lup, and appealed to all the people to assemble at THAU ground at 9 am tomorrow for the rally.
