Imphal, March 10 2011:
Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) continued to fire a salvo of its aspirations and objectives with a rejoinder that the outfit stands to protect and preserve the unity and integrity of the fraternal Zeliangrong community, Inpui, Chiru and 'other minority groups' and has warned against disturbing the status quo.
"ZUF stands to protect the natural resources, land and people, and to promote fraternity and assure individual dignity, as also to preserve the unity and integrity of Zeliangrong Inpui, Chiru and other minority groups bound by territorial jurisdiction," said a statement issued by Nixon Thoitak Chiru, deputy chief and Aihong Remroi Inpui, joint secretary (secretary in-charge) of ZUF today.
The two leaders have appealed to the general public to be aware of misinterpretation of the aspirations and objectives of the outfit by some self-centred leaders.
"Our intention is not against any other revolutionaries, we are sacrificing our lives in an attempt to safeguard and uplift our community," the two leaders added.
The ZUF leaders charged that "unfair local politicians" have 'blindfolded' the general public by indulging in narrow and selfish propaganda and attempting to tarnish the "good image" or principles of the ZUF.
"ZUF said, "such despicable and self serving politics will not succeed in misguiding ZUF and Zeliangrong people" .
The twelve thousand sq km of Zeliangrong inhabited areas of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland, and the four lakh fifty thousand Zeliangrong population cannot be simply done apart by any petty politics.
The ZUF stated that this is a crucial juncture and all quarters are advised to separate the right from the wrong and people who haggle for justice must cultivate a profound thinking based on a sound and better tomorrow.
