Imphal, November 25 2018:
Another example of the highhandedness of the State Govt is its' constant strong arm tactics threatening the media fraternity which is regarded as the fourth pillar of democracy; either to gag it or to make it their mouthpiece by coercion.
The alleged puppet regime can do anything towards its own people just to please their 'masters', continued the UNLF Central Committee.
"UNLF firmly believes that all the ethnic brethren with common features and racial origin, inhabiting in Manipur, who are suffering together under the alien rule have a common destiny and we should unite and fight together to attain it", it asserted.
Peaceful co-existence and co-development is the only option for all the indigenous populations but today there are many armed groups for every ethnic community just to serve their ethnic exclusive interest.
Such small ethnic based armed groups fail when fighting against stronger enemy like India; they got nothing but have to compromise with the adversaries through peace-talks and suspension of operation (SoO) etc thus becoming revisionist and reactionaries, the UNLF remarked.
India fully exploit this opportunity and utilized the divide and rule policy to increase animosity and rivalry for petty ethnic aspirations, between hills and valley, and amongst the ethnic communities.
But recently, October 31 last, a mega public-rally which thronged all the important roads of greater Imphal in which people from every household of hills and plain; and peoples from each and every ethnic communities of Manipur voiced together that "the integrity and one-ness of Manipur cannot be disturbed" and "We want Peaceful Coexistence" .
"This loud unison of voices of our people have clearly given the firm and loud message to the Gol, who is trying to divide and weaken our people's unity every now and then.
This makes UNLF's belief all the more stronger that our peoples' destiny lies in our unity and together-ness", it conveyed.
