Imphal, August 25 2011: Sowing seeds of animosity among different communities of Manipur and decelerating development pace is a practise applied by the Government of India since a long time back, alleged arrested UNLF Chairman RK Sanayaima.

Speaking to media persons at the Court complex of NIA Special Judge at Guwahati today, Sanayaima accused the Govt of India of deliberately treating the different communities on different scales to breed hatred and animosity among the indigenous peoples.

Under the prevailing insecure situation, it is crucial for the indigenous communities of both the hills and valley to find out means and ways for peaceful co-existence.

Observing that there has been little change in the boundaries demarcated during the British period, the rebel leader called upon the people of Manipur to make a clear demarcation of district boundaries and strive collectively for progress and development.

"It's time to work and make Manipur self-reliant instead of harping that NH 39 and NH 53 are our life lines", Sanayaima asserted.

Even though it is 64/65 years since Manipur was allegedly annexed to India, there is no sign of development in Manipur till date.

The elected representatives of Manipur have been working at the command and behest of the Government of India.

This is the primary reason for Manipur's sheer backwardness.

Whereas Loktak Project was taken up with the promise of lighting whole Manipur, the project has failed to deliver.

It has turned out to be a project which only forfeited livelihood of a large section Manipuri people, Sanayaima asserted.

People need to stand together and fight collectively against all attempts to forfeit's livelihood as well as all conspiracies aimed at driving wedges between the indigenous communities.

Meanwhile, it is reported that the Government of India has instructed concerned officials to send three leaders of UNLF currently lodged in Guwahati central jail to Tihar Jail.

This move was initiated two months back.

However, one Advocate informed that move transfer the UNLF leader to Tihar Jail could not carried out any time soon as some of the UNLF cadres have also moved for bail as well as transfer of their cases to Gauhati High Court.
