The function held at the central headquarters was graced by UPPK Vice Chairman Menlei, Finance Secretary M Meiraba Meitei alias MM Meitei and local village chief Athungbei as chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.

Speaking at the foundation day function after hoisting the party's flag, vice chairman Menlei underscored the urgent need to revisit and cherish the collective history of all indigenous communities in order to revitalise the dying Nation.

Saying that external forces have been scheming to create divisions among the indigenous communities, Menlei asserted that it is imperative to defeat these external forces and their inimical designs.

All indigenous people must stand united and work collectively to boost the State's economy.

There is also an urgent need to speed up the liberation movement, he asserted.

On the other hand, the UPPK Central Committee held a meeting at its general headquarters on November 3 and 4 .

The Central Committee meeting gave consent to the retirement of the outfit's Chairman K Chingkhei alias Tiger alias Homeshwor, considering his health condition.

In his place, the Central Committee will look after all functions and activities of the party under the leadership of Vice Chairman Menlei.

The Central Committee meeting appointed MC Puremba alias Homen as General Secretary, M Meiraba Meitei alias MM Meitei as Finance Secretary, Y Korou as Defence Secretary and Puyaba Angomcha as Information and Publicity Secretary.

The meeting also agreed to retain other officer bearers.

It further reaffirmed the party's decision not to seek financial help from private individuals, considering the current economic state of Manipur.

In case, any financial help is sought from the public out of sheer necessity, only the signature of Finance Secretary M Meiraba Meitei alias MM Meitei will be valid, it added.
