Imphal, December 13 2011:
The proscribed UNLF has appealed to all concerned not to stand against the liberation movement under influence of the Indian military.
A press release issued by the outfit's senior publicity officer Ksh Yoiheiba noted that some persons who gave guidance to youngsters willing to join revolutionary groups were victimised in the form of banishing them from the localities/villages, demolishing their houses etc just because security forces have branded those innocent persons as human traffickers.
Recently some individuals who gave guidance to youngsters willing to join revolutionary groups were arrested by Assam Rifles and they were branded as human traffickers in media.
Buying the words of Assam Rifles without ascertaining the truth, families and local people of those youngsters who have joined revolutionary groups on their own accord targeted the individuals who only extended a little help to the willing youngsters.
Asserting that such actions were uncalled for and sheer foolery, the UNLF asked who the Indian military are.
It reminded that Chanu Rose, Manorama, Sanjita, Ahanjaobi and many others were victims of the Indian military including Assam Rifles.
It also recalled that many innocent people both young and old, were massacred by the Indian military.
Under the alien rule, the people of Manipur have been living a wretched life while the Indian military has been trampling upon their rights, it alleged.
Targeting those individuals who provided little guidance to youngsters willing to join the liberation movement is not only an open challenge to the liberation movement but also insults the souls of those innocent people murdered by the Indian military, it alleged.
It appealed to all the people to refrain from indulging in such thoughtless activities as if they cannot identify who the enemies are.
The outfit further accused some non-local wealthy businessmen of luring naive and innocent girls and children with false promises only to force them into unpaid labour or flesh trade in different cities of India.
