Imphal, February 10, 2011:
Pambei went on to say that attainment of independence by East Timor after holding a plebiscite and more recently, the liberation of South Sudan after a referendum should be remembered.
The referendum for deciding the fate of South Sudan was held from January 8 to 15 this year.
In the referendum, 99.58 percent of the total population of South Sudan voted for independence.
Accordingly, in July this year, a formal announcement for the liberation of South Sudan would be made to become the 193 member-country of UN.
Just like the repressive and suppressive activities of India in Manipur, South Sudanese in North Sudan, who could not longer bear with similar repression started fighting for the cause of liberation since 1955.Under certain conditions, the liberation movement remained suspended since 1972. But it resumed from 1983 and today, South Sudan has attained independence.
Similarly, the lost sovereignty of Manipur would be able to regain and save from the atrocities of India, if only plebiscite could be hold to resolve the Manipur-India conflict.
Along with this, MPA would continue his offensive activities against the security forces.
In past confrontations, MPA have killed many security personnel while wounded many others.
Many of the MPA cadres too have sacrificed their lives for the cause of independence while many others have been impaired for life.
Such sacrifices are nothing but the cost of independence for the people.
MPA would never turned its faced from the battle field until Manipur regains its independence, Pambei pledged.
Reiterating the appeal to all the like-minded revolutionary groups fighting for the same goal of liberation for working together under a common banner, Pambei urged that the people should also extend their support in this regard.
Such collective strength and unity can only liberated Manipur.
The stand of the people for the liberation movement and their open slogans, 'We want Plebiscite', 'Long live UNLF', 'Welcome Chairman Sana Yaima' at the time where the whereabouts of chairman Sana Yaima was kept concealed for long after being arrested, has shown a new face of the liberation movement.
It was a sign of progress in the movement.
For this UNLF MAC is thankful to all the people, Pambei said.
Lastly, on the occasion of 24th anniversary of MPA, UNLF MAC would like to extend revolutionary salute and greeting to all the leaders and cadres of revolutionary groups fighting for the cause of independence and conveyed the message for collective strength and unity, Pambei said, while extending salute to all the cadres who have sacrificed their lives or maimed for life in their fight for liberation as well as to all the people who have suffered in the hands of the security forces.
