Imphal, December 14 2009:
The proscribed Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) has condoled the death of Prof N Sanajaoba.
A press statement issued by its Chairman Toijam Achouba remembered the academician as a person who tried hard to show the world that Manipuris have its own script, language
and history.
Addressing the late Professor as Pathou (friend), Achouba said that with Sanajaoba's effort, the lost and scattered history of Manipur was gathered once again, and it is only because of his effort that the Manipuris can stand with pride today.
The Chairman said, Sanajaoba unfolded the history of the forefathers at a time when Manipuris were worried of their fading identity.
Mentioning about his personal association with the late Professor, Achouba said, he deliberated with Sanajaoba whenever he had any doubt on any issue.
The Chairman added, the demise of Sanajaoba has left a huge void as he was the person who enlightened the minds of Manipuri society with his constructive thoughts.
Remembering Sanajaoba as a leader of both hill and valley students, Achouba said, he was the general secretary of DM College and president of All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU).
The Chairman also said that Sanajaoba spent many days of his lifetime in jail for the betterment of future Manipur.
Saying that it would be endless if one remembers Sanajaoba's contribution to Manipuri society, Toijam Achouba prayed to Almighty to rest the soul of the departed leader in peace in his heavenly abode.
