Unfortunately they made them wait for more than 5 hours and refused to meet MSAD representatives.

These show that they don't care about the interest of the Manipur people.

Ironically they resolved to stay in Delhi until they meet the PM Modi who is on foreign visits, it said.

MSAD questions the intention of the Manipur politicians whether they are in Delhi for vacation when entire Manipur is in chaos, people, students taking the streets.

It is high time for the people to realize the necessity of a total reformation as they can't depend on fake politicians.

Present Manipur political arrangement would create more problems among brothers and sisters because Manipur politicians rule the people as if they are not the legitimate Government of Manipur people.

This is why they are ignorant to the real issues of the state and love to talk about unemployment when they don't arrange any concrete measures to solve the problem.

They are earning on the problems of the people, it said.

Since Manipur became a part of India, people have witnessed a series of difference struggle of the people as demanded by the circumstances.

Some forms of the peoples' protest like total bandhs, general strikes, economic blockade affects the society in a larger unprecedented scale.

Ironically the people cannot avoid all these forms of peoples' protest.

It also said that there is a need for some structural changes in the people protest strengthening the collective spirit of the people to fight for a dignified survival in the world.

It urged all concerned not to attack their own people during the bandhs, general strikes etc.

MSAD stands for Manipur, both hills and valley can't afford the pangs of separation.

It called for resolving the difference peacefully.

MSAD demands the release of all the arrested protesters, to stop police atrocities.

Manipur people need to prepare for long term struggles if not generations would survive.

"Lets' keep our collective spirit for a better, peace, develop, self reliance Manipur.

Lets' work for the final solution if not Manipuris would perish from the world with no memories to keep," it added.
