Imphal, November 23 2012: On the occasion of 48th anniversary of United National Liberation Front (UNLF), the Central Committee of the proscribed outfit and its armed wing Manipur Peoples' Army (MPA) have greeted to all 'the patriotic sons and daughters of the nation' .

In a statement, UNLF stated that 63 years of Manipur-India conflict has passed since Manipur was forcibly annexed and 48 years since UNLF started to fight for the restoration of the lost Sovereignty and Independence of Manipur.

People of Manipur are striving all the more to provide their future generation a liberated, emancipated and transformed life to enable them to share the global processes of peace and progress.

Sharing a journey of collective struggle for the same cause, UNLF with other like-minded revolutionary parties and groups is striving for a new phase in its struggle.

Stating that the forced annexation of Manipur by India in 1949 is the crux of the genesis of the national contradiction between Manipur and India, UNLF observed that the colonial bondage in which all the Manipuri people is languishing can be overthrown only by the collective struggle of the entire people.

The conflict that had developed between India and Manipur could only be resolved with the restoration of Manipur's sovereignty and Independence which cannot be compromised at all.

This is the question of survival or extinction of all the indigenous people of Manipur and the very reason for UNLF taking up arms for National liberation struggle.

"So far, India is keeping Manipur-India conflict under wraps; talking it as a law and order problem for the past many years.

But today the India's self appointed NIA (National Investigation Agency) Court is compelled to accept the truth that UNLF Chairman Sanayaima, and other leaders of UNLF is fighting for the restoration of sovereignty of Manipur.

This has become a precedence in the revolutionary history of our Manipuri nation.

The tireless collective effort of UNLF with other fraternal revolutionary parties make this happen.

Now from the eyes of international law, the struggle by the revolutionary groups of Manipur are no longer a simple law and order problem but it is a struggle for independence by the revolutionary groups of Manipur.

Therefore, by building up a solid unity amongst ourselves we shall enhance our struggle and restore the lost independence of the people and the state and the UNLF has strong faith in the task.

The UNLF shall devote in the collective struggle envisaged by CORCOM, and we, therefore, pledge before our people our faith in CORCOM and united strength of our people", the statement said.
