Speaking at the occasion, general secretary of the MKNM said,"Our responsibility does not end in paying tributes to our brave forefathers but we must also remember the role they had played in shaping a National identity" .
It should be the responsibility of all to inculcate the historical significance of the day to the growing generations and help offer the fitting tribute to the martyrs who had fought and made supreme sacrifice for the sovereignty of Manipur.
The valour of people of the erstwhile kingdom and the fight to preserve the sovereignty against the British Empire is worth recalling, she said.
Till today, these brave indigenous people will continue to defend the State at any cost and no force can disturb the boundary outlined by our brave forefathers, she said.
MWF's president Khundongbam Shini, UMO's president Moirangthem Sorojini and the eldest daughter-in-law of Khullakpa Mapou Thangal, Abihal Thangal also attended the observance programme as dignitaries.
