Imphal, April 22 2015 :
Governor of Manipur KK Paul extended greetings to the people of Manipur on the occasion of Khongjom day.
In his message, the Governor said Khongjom day is observed in Manipur on April 23 every year to pay homage to "our forefathers" who laid down their lives bravely for the freedom of their motherland.
"They fought valiantly against the mighty British in the Anglo-Manipuri War of 1891 and made the supreme sacrifice without the thought of compromise or surrender ever crossing their mind.
Their patriotism and courage are stuff of the folklore now", said the Governor.
He said all should join hands to work for the cause of the nation, to put our country on the path of development and unhindered progress.
