Imphal, November 26 2009: Saying that it would not take SPO/VDF as enemies, the UNLF appealed to SPO/VDF personnel not to act as enemies against the revolutionary parties.

The liberation struggle itself is a struggle for existence of the society as a whole.

To the extent the SPO/VDF personnel allow themselves to be used in 'counter insurgency activities', that much they are helping the state government in killing innocent peoples.

A few years ago, the UNLF initiated the campaigns of 'Self Reliance on Food' and empowerment of struggling housewives.

Today several experts have also joined the campaign of 'Self Reliance on Food' along with huge number of farmers.

Now the campaign has started giving positive results.

The unprecedented campaign for empowerment of struggling housewives has also spread to every nook and corner.

It has now acquired the character of a movement for uplifting grassroots economy, the outfit claimed.

The UNLF declared in 2005 that the Manipur-India conflict should be resolved according to the wishes of the people through a plebiscite conducted by the United Nations.

The proposal for plebiscite has been endorsed by a large section of our population including many intellectuals and experts.

However, plebiscite is something India will never accept as a means for resolving the conflict.

It is therefore imperative to build up a strong mass movement in order to compel India to accepting the reality and efforts will be necessary to utilise the force of the movement to bring international pressure on India.

Above all, the revolutionary parties should intensify the armed struggle against India to the maximum limit, the UNLF asserted.

Under the circumstances, so long as the issue of plebiscite remains unsettled, the UNLF will all the more intensify armed struggle and will make all the necessary preparations with the help and support of the people, it pledged On the occasion of its anniversary, the UNLF further conveyed greetings to the leadership and members of the fraternal parties of Manipur as well as Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K), Tripura People's Democratic Front (TPDF) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA).

It also greeted the Kashmiri people and wished them success in the struggle for liberation .

The UNLF Central Committee also extended warm greetings to the Central Committee, Cadres and members of the CPI(Maoist).

While extending greetings to its international sympathisers and supporters, the UNLF Central Committee conveyed indebtedness for their kind help and support, and also to all the international NGOs for standing by by the struggle for the right to national self determination.

UNLF Central Committee also offered salute to all the martyrs of the liberation struggle and also to all the common people who have been killed by the security forces in incidents related with the struggle.

It also shared the sorrow and sufferings of the bereaved families as well as those maimed by security forces.

It further greeted the revolutionary cadres now being imprisoned in jails.

The UNLF Central Committee further conveyed gratitude all well-wishers and also to all compatriots who have stood by the UNLF all along.
