Imphal, December 24:
Reiterating its decision to boycott the visit of the Review Committee, which is set to arrive here on December 27, the Working Committee of the Apunba Lup today asked the people to extend their full support and co-operation to the 13 hours general strike called on December 27 to coincide with the visit of the team from Delhi.
In a statement, the Apunba Lup said that the proposed visit of the Review panel is nothing but an attempt to befool the people of Manipur and added that setting up the panel is against the demand of the people to totally revoke the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act from the State.
Stating that there is no reason why the people should meet them, the statement urged all, including individuals and organisations not to meet the visiting team and warned that if anything undesirable develops then the very people who meet them will be treated as National Reactionaries.
Such people, who meet the Review Committee, should bear the responsibility if the demand of the people is sidelined or diluted, it warned.
