Imphal, May 31: Reacting to the joint statement of UNLF and KYKL that accused KCP (MC) of acting at the behest of security forces, military affairs secretary of the KCP (MC) Lanheiba Meitei asked UNLF/KYKL to introspect their activities before accusing others.

A statement issued by Lanheiba Meitei reminded that from 1978 till 1981 attacks separately carried out by PLA, PREPAK and KCP had killed 101 security personnel which consequently led to the Government of India declaring these armed groups as 'outlaws' on October 26, 1981 .

While such attacks were being launched the UNLF preferred to lie low through an understanding with the Government, Lanheiba said and cited the then UNLF chairman Arambam Somarendro openly staying at his home to substantiate its claim of the unLF having tacit understanding with the security forces.

Further questioning how many UNLF cadres had been slain by security force compared to slaying of cadres belonging to other groups including shortly after release from jail, the KCP (MC) opined that such glaring facts clearly illustrates link between the UNLF and the Government.

Apart from the UNLF and KYKL maintaining inexplicable relationship with security forces, understanding the two outfits have with the Government could be safely gauged from the fact that these two groups not only provide fund to political candidates during election time but also do not hesitate to use arms to diktat terms, contended the KCP (MC).

Describing N Bisheswor Singh of the PLA as the real revolutionary, Lanheiba insisted that UNLF and KYKL organisations are besieged with internal conflict over position with many top rung leaders of the two groups clamouring for power and wealth.

Since 1990 the monthly income of the UNLF tallies around Rs One crore with the common people obviously reeling under the impact of 'revolutionary obligation', Lanheiba said.

Insisting that acts of terrorism is a lesson which KCP learnt from the UNLF/KYKL, he referred to the incident of 1995 wherein an entire family in Yairipok was decimated as well as eliminations of former commander in-chief of the KCP Yendrenbam Ibohanbi, former secretary general of PREPAK L Sillungba alias Tomba, former chairman of KYKL and KCP Pajihan Ibopisak and editor RK Sanatomba.

These individuals were slain to ensure no threat is posed to the ambitions of RK Meghen and Oken, said the statement and urged anybody interested in knowing more details about these killings to contact KCP's e-mail address at [email protected] Continuing its tirade against the UNLF, the KCP (MC) posed how could the killing of civilians travelling on a Tata Sumo on the Leingangpokpi to Jiri road or the mass rape of Hmar womenfolk at Parbung in 2006 be justified as revolutionary action.

To the KYKL, Lanheiba suggested that its cadres be taught principles of revolutionary movement to avoid embarrassing situation such as immoral behaviour by one of its principal cadres that later led to killing of two tribal girls in police firing at near Loktak Lake some years back.

Triggering blast at ISCKON temple during which many innocent persons including the well known Swami Damodar got killed and levying Rs 5 tax per plate from ceremonious feast being regularly organised at Shree Shree Govindajee Temple is one of many activities of the UNLF and KYKL that only belittles the revolutionary movement, said Lanheiba.

The statement also mocked at the rediscovered friendship between the UNLF and KYKL who were once fierce enemies and lambasted the two outfits for upholding their violent conduct as revolutionary necessity while demeaning similar action by others as terrorism and reactionary forces.

With regard to the bomb blast at RIMS Hospital complex and the UNLF/KYKL outbursts, Lanheiba observed that the main objective for condemning the blast and demeaning KCP is to sustain the former outfits' income generation source as collection from the entire RIMS employees is in terms of crores of rupees.

KCP (MC) understands sanctity of an institution like hospital and as such the blast at RIMS was set off with utmost care to prevent human casualty, Lanheiba pointed.

Asserting that KCP (MC) would persist with its objective of cleansing the RIMS administration any cost regardless of pressure from any organisation, lanheiba also cautioned frontal organisations of the UNLF and KYKL to function within their respective limits instead of provoking the KCP (MC).

KCP (MC) cannot guarantee that functionaries of such frontal organisations would not be targeted as it was RK Meghen who set the trend by targeting activists of the erstwhile Man-Federation, he maintained.

Suggesting that as student organisations activities should also be confined to student-centric issues, KCP (MC) also noted luxurious settings inside offices of student leaders and asserted that such lifestyles vividly demonstrates hegemony intention and agenda.

While declaring that KF Lanmee of the KCP (MC) do not fear the gun and man power of the UNLF/KYKL combined, Lanheiba insisted that its cadres are ever ready for a showdown anytime and anyplace. Lanheiba also appealed to the general public to extend cooperation to the KCP's endeavour for an honourable manipur wherein doctors' priority would be curing the patients rather than multiply economic strain of the sick and weak.
