Imphal, May 26 2016:
The CorCom has categorically stated that its strike capacity was demonstrated when a team of the Joint Fighting Force (JFF) operating under the committee's Joint Military Commission attacked troops of 29 Assam Rifles led by Col Ranjit in between Hengsi and Tuyang under Khengjoi sub-division of Chandel district on May 22 where six AR personnel including a JCO was killed apart from confiscating one LMG, one Insas Rifle and four AK-56 rifles.
All the cadres who took part in the attack which was carried out as a part of Operation Yenning returned to a camp of JFF and they were accorded a warm reception, conveyed a press release issued by CorCom media coordinator Ksh Yoiheiba.
A unified front and a collective approach are essential in the struggle to win back the lost sovereignty of Manipur (Kangleipak).
Military might is also necessary to wage a liberation movement in strict compliance with international rules and norms.
To build a strong military capacity, all the people need to join the liberation movement, it asserted.
The present generation need not overlook the fact that Manipur which existed as an Asiatic Nation State for more than 2000 years lost its sovereignty to foreign powers at different points of time in history on account of disunity and factionalism among the people.
It is also a historical fact that Manipur was able to win back its lost sovereignty when its people united together and fought the foreign powers collectively.
There is no element of surprise about the Government of India's many covert and overt strategies to keep the people of Manipur always divided.
Contrary to their own repeated propaganda that Manipuris are also Indians, they (Government of India) actually see Manipuris as enemies and this was exposed quite glaringly once again on May 23.After they suffered humiliating defeat at the hands of JFF, Indian military forces unleashed all kinds of repressive measures on local people.
In addition, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh asked the military to launch strongest retaliatory measures against all revolutionary groups of WESEA.
Reacting to news reports and claims of top Indian military officers that some camps of militants located along Indo-Myanmar border were busted, the CorCom dismissed the same news reports as fabricated and baseless.
It was just an attempt to boost the sagging morale of Indian military forces, it asserted.
"What the people of Manipur (Kangleipak) lack now are unity among the hill people and plain people and collective approach to the liberation movement", it said.
It further called upon all the groups which have taken separate paths to join the collective liberation movement.
