Former chief minister N Biren Singh on Wednesday urged everyone to unite despite political and ideological differences to establish peace and ensure peaceful coexistence in the state.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 134th Patriots' Day observance held at Hicham Yaichampat, Moirangkhom, Biren told reporters, "Despite knowing they would be defeated, Yubraj Tikendrajit, Thangal General, Chirai Naga, and others fought a war with the British.
Patriots Day is a commemoration of that historic event.
Manipur is the legacy of those forefathers" .

He added, "We should all unite concerning the issues of the state, even though there are ideological differences in politics and others.
We have to establish peace in the state and live together.
I am appealing to the people for this as well" .
"Though there is no popular government now, the MLAs and all of us are working along with the Governor and officers to restore peace," he added.
Biren reminded that the day is observed to remember patriots Bir Tikendrajit, Thangal General and others, who defied the British hegemony in defence of the sovereignty and independence of the then Manipuri kingdom.
He then urged all to unite when it comes to issues concerning the land left behind by Manipuri forefathers while keeping aside all political differences and ideologies, and make concerted efforts for peace and harmony.
Patriots Day is annually observed in the state on August 13 to commemorate the hanging of Bir Tikendrajit and Thangal General in 1891 for waging war against the British Raj.
