Imphal, October 16 2008:
The proscribed RPF and its armed wing PLA has condoled the demise of Baji Modhu of Chairel who passed away on September 1 .
A press release issued by RPF's Department of Communication and Publicity chief N Wangba informed that Modhu was a boat man who also used to make boats himself.
Despite his profession, Modhu was actively involved in many activities aimed at restoring fraternal ties between the hill people and valley people.
Once, Modhu was ferrying two security personnel in his boat.
Though quite advanced in age, he deliberately rocked the boat and made the guns fall into the water.
When asked by the security personnel to recover the guns from the water, he refused saying that he was too old.
The outfit hailed the spirit of late Modhu and appreciated his contribution towards the revolutionary movement.
It shared the pain and sorrow of the bereaved family.
