IMPHAL December 7:   The UNLF in a press release signed by its senior publicity officer Ksh Yoiheiba has stated that even after eons of continued hardship, the state has retained its identity and still remained united under a common cause. This is due to the principles and ideologies passed down the generations with the believe that it is by far better to live one day in freedom than live a lifetime under subjugation, and outside forced have not been able to break the spirit of the populace, it said.

However, in contrast to the ethic norms laid down by courageous ancestors there are many who should not be deemed as their descendants. The Indian government in order to enforce its rule have created puppets to serve their wishes. There are MLAs, ministers and those with deep pockets who enjoy the power and luxury of being in cahoots with the centre while strangulating the common man and dominating those who are against their wishes. The state has been in such a melee for the past 62 years and the common man has become poorer and more decrepit with each passing day even though they are earning their living through daily toil, it added.

But, the sad part is that we have lost the insight and the rationale to see through such devious designs which is planned by the Indian government. Those who are in close proximity with those in power feed like parasites and fill their pockets, it further stated.

They in turn propagate corruption, nepotism amongst the society. Such neo-colonialism policy of the Indian government has muddled the minds of the public and day by day, the society is deteriorating, the release further added.

Even then, there are many who still hold the love of the land deeply in their hearts and such determined youths are welcome and trained by the UNLF under its armed wing, the MPA, it added.

Further according to the release, the latter has in turn continued to wage the war of independence successfully on many counts in the past and will continue to do so in future. It is the bounden duty of all to join the fight for independence, it said.

But, those who have led the youths to the right path have been deemed as human traffickers, anti-social elements by the Indian occupational forces. Such wrong propagations should be avoided from sinking in to the mindset of the populace and rather the sacrifices made by those who have spearheaded the liberation movement must be acknowledged. The issue must be introspected and discussed by the public, it said.

The only solution for the different communities to coexist and develop is to rally for Independence and each individual to do their part, otherwise there is no light at the end of the tunnel, it concluded.

IMPHAL, December 7: “The European Manipuri Association is shocked and concerned with the recent bomb blast at Hapta Kangjeibung, Imphal, a congested public area, killing an innocent rickshaw driver and injuring civilians on the fate full day of November 30” stated a press release of the European Manipuri Association.

It has further stated that EMA members are also anguished and deeply concerned at the lethargic and poor response from the emergency service to such an unfortunate incident. The manner, in which a grievously injured, nearly dead victim was handled by the security and the rescue team, choosing to question the victim instead of rushing him to the hospital, does not conform to the required standard of human dignity at all. This reflects the degradation of human values and respect of life in our society today, it added.

“We at EMA would like to see the government authorities, the local police and the hospital emergency departments to be the most responsible and highly professional teams who can execute their professional duty in the most considerate manner, in order to bring back respect from the community”.

It has further expressed its concern regarding the media coverage of the incident. A lot of our members have expressed a deep sense of revulsion and shock, looking at the picture of the badly mutilated and helpless victim.

“We feel that showing such gruesome images is not only insensitive to the families and dear ones of the victim but also to the viewers. As adults and responsible citizens of our society we have an obligation to not expose our children and young people to such disturbing images as it can have a long lasting psychological impact on them and their outlook to violence and crime” the release added.

The release has further appealed to the media fraternity to exercise utmost care and restrain while publishing disturbing images and to be more sensitive to the feelings of the families and loved ones of the victims.

It has further offered the EMA’s salute to all Manipuris who showed their resilience and further determination not to get swayed by the blast, but made the Sangai Festival a success and further added that the association shares the grief and pain of the bereaved family.
