Imphal, November 22 2011: Acting Chairman of the proscribed UG group UNLF Kh Pambei in a press statement expressed his deep regards to the of Manipur for their tireless effort to uphold truth and justice, as well as democratic values and principles in the society despite being under threat and coercion from the oppressive forces and some anti-socials as well.

In the statement, Pambei stated "UNLF is fighting Indian Colonial regime for the right to self determination of the Manipuri people and to liberate Manipur which was forcibly annexed in 1949.And this annexation against the will of our Manipuri people is the crux of the present armed conflict between India and Manipur.

These long 62 years of Indian colonial rule has eroded our national identity and is the root cause of the present moral depravity and degeneration our society as a whole" .

It further stated that the Indian Colonial rule with their policy of 'divide and destroy' has fractured the peaceful co-existence and co-development of Manipuri society.

"We have taken up arms as the last resort to protect our nation and to regain our national independence" he added.

He further stated that UNLF firmly believe in the united struggle of all the people irrespective of hills and plain; caste and clan against a common enemy.

"The recent formation of Co-ordination Committee in July 2011 by seven revolutionary organizations to co-ordinate the common struggle against colonial occupation marks a departure from the past and is designed to win the trust of the people for a united struggle encompassing communities that constitute a multi-ethnic Manipur nation" he added.

"And if the struggle of Manipuri people is considered genuine and the aims and objectives, vision and ideology of UNLF is trustworthy; we would like to appeal to the people to continue highlighting the plight, sufferings and struggles of our Manipuri people to the outside world so that UN make an intervention to resolve the Manipur-India conflict once and for all" Pambei appealed in the statement.

He further expressed that UNLF would like to request local media to make an aggressive role while checking the moral degeneration and to reshape a refined and dignified Manipuri society once again.

He also expressed his gratitude to the media fraternity for their pro-active role in the society against the extreme hardships and danger faced by them while doing their unrewarded jobs in this conflict situation.
