IMPHAL, Jan 6: Greeting the people of Manipur on the occasion of the eve of the first foundation observation of the United Revolutionary Front (URF), Manipur, the Central Executive body has in a press note appealed for the public to encourage the group. It also added that the group will work relentlessly towards fighting off the oppressive nature of the Government of India.
“The Government is obvious in the manner of its war with the people of this state,” the statement said adding that the imposition of AFSPA was an admission of its intent.
The unending number of paramilitary forces and sophisticated arms and ammunition being sent into the state is proof of India`s attempt to take over the state, it said while cautioning that such attempts would never bear fruit.
Expressing a firm belief in unity among the hill and valley people, the statement noted that plebiscite and referendum should be practiced to ascertain the destiny of the people of the state.
The URF has also extended its greetings and solidarity to the members of CorCom, to all cadres and members of other armed groups in the neighboring region and thanked the people of the state for their support.
