Imphal, June 14 2016:
The 15th Protest Day was observed at Kwakeithel Bazaar today under the aegis of AMUCO .
AMUCO president Dr Y Mani Khuman said that the day has been observed annually since 2001 to protest against the ceasefire agreement (without territorial limits) signed between the Indian Government and NSCN-IM.
"The ceasefire agreement is something that should be applicable in Nagaland, not in Manipur.
Such agreement when all territorial limits are removed became a threat to the integrity of the State and it was a plot to incite communal disharmony among the communities of the State," he said.

He asserted that the public convention held on June 14, 2001 and the resolutions adopted therein served as a precursor to the historic mass protest of June 18, 2001 .
It was on June 14, 2001 when the cease fire agreement (without territorial limits) signed between Government of India and NSCN-IM at Bangkok was declared to the public.
The public convention held on June 14 set the agenda and direction of the June 18 mass protest where 13 people were martyred and hundreds suffered casualties.
Five other people achieved martyrdom in the subsequent agitation.
Ultimately, the words 'without territorial limits' were removed from the ceasefire agreement.
"We have always stand united and will continue to do so against forces that have threatened the unity of the people.
Whatever situation may arise, we will not compromise on matters of territorial integrity and unity of Manipur," Dr Y Mani Khuman affirmed.
