Imphal, August 11 2009:
The manipur People's Liberation Front (MPLF), a body of major insurgent organisations of Manipur, today called upon the people to support the boycott of the Independence Day celeberations and general strike on August 15 in Manipur.
A press release issued today by the Convenor, MPLF announced that during the general strike, media, medical, water supply, rites related with death and religious matters will be exempted.
How severe the killings that go on in Manipur behind democray had been clearly demonstrated by the way Sanjit was brutally killed by criminal minded police commandos recently, the press release stated.
And then how lowly politics has declined has been shown by the way the Chief Minister had tried to defend the killing and the remarks that he made for it, it added.
Thus, the innumerable JACs that had been formed are the living testimony to the fact that a number of innocent people had been killed in fake encounters in the past, the MPLF stated.
