The Meitei Presbyterian Christian Naharup, Manipur, has expressed extreme shock the alleged misinterpretation of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, as a prophet of terrorism and bloodshed.
While quoting the Biblical passage (Exodus 20:17) which prohibits coveting of anything that belongs to one�s neighbors, it has alleged that the NSCN (IM) is committing profanation of the holy precepts of God and Christianity by its expansionist policies.
While demanding immediate withdrawal of the proposed ceasefire extension to Manipur, it also pledges to protect the territorial integrity of Manipur at all cost.
Meanwhile, in reaction to the Bangkok agreement, the Manipur Arm-wrestling Association has resolved to pull back its earlier decision to host the 25th National Arm-Wrestling championship.
It also paid homage to the 15 martyrs who died during the ongoing agitation.
The titular king of Manipur, Leishemba Sanajaoba, has sought the intervention of the President for immediate withdrawal of the proposed ceasefire extension.
