About The Great June Uprising: This date made it to the pages of the history of modern Manipur , when the people rose as one on June 18 2001, took to the streets and literally turned to ashes the offices of a good number of political parties to protest the Bangkok Declaration of June 14, 2001 which rendered the cease fire pact between the Centre and the NSCN (IM) as a pact not bounded by any territorial limits. There were no hazy points here.
