Imphal, November 25 2011: Contd from previous issue .

The recent formation of Coordination Committee in July 2011 by seven revolutionary organisations to coordinate the common struggle against the Indian rule marks a departure from the past and is designed to win the trust of the people.

The UNLF affirms its determination to contribute its utmost in this endeavour to transform the hitherto separate struggles into a united struggle encompassing communities that constitute the Manipur mosaic in the centuries past.

The capitalist economy in India has successfully increased the number of crorepatis.

So has the number of families, drastically at that, who are not able to make both ends meet with their income.

Consequently, in Indian society today, the rich few are ranged against the dispossessed multitude in sharper class contradiction.

The continuing dispossession of the poor and the associated trend of the metropolies prospering at the expense of the villages have provoked the CPI (Maoists) across large swathes of Indian hinterland to mount an insurrection challenging the anti-poor policy of the Indian state, noted the Central Committee.

On the occasion of 47th anniversary of the UNLF, the Central Committee conveyed its greetings to the chairman, members of the Committee and cadres as well as soldiers and local members of the organisation who are now incarcerated in prison as also the serving cadres and soldiers and to the families of those who have sacrificed their lives for the country and the people as well as those who have been rendered handicaps by the Indian security forces and also to those 'compatriots' and sympathizers who are celebrating the party's anniversary in various places.

The Central Committee also sent greetings to all fraternal revolutionary organisations waging war against India to regain Manipur's lost freedom and saluted Irom chanu Sharmila for her courage and tenacity in demanding the revocation of the AFSPA, which has facilitated impunity for violence, through a fast unto death spanning 11 years.

The armed organisation also extended warm greetings to members and leaders of the liberation groups operating in Western South East Asia � KLO, NSCN(K), TPDF, NDFB and ULFA as well as to the CPI (Maoist) and Kashmiri groups waging liberation struggles against Indian occupation and wished that their struggles success.
