Imphal, October 05 2009:
While acknowledging presence of insurgency problems and the resultant conflict situation in Manipur, the Working Committee of the Apunba Lup has called for an immediate halt to genocide allegedly being committed by New Delhi and the State Government by using security forces in Manipur.
A press release issued by the Apunba Lup questioned the motive behind the atrocities and genocide committed by the Government instead of delving into the root cause of the insurgency issue and working to bring a solution through political dialogue.
In the name of suppressing the insurgency movement by military means, New Delhi and the Ibobi-led-SPF Government have been perpetrating State terrorism and genocide against the people of Manipur, it alleged.
It's time for all to ponder over the fate of the Manipuri Nation if the state terrorism being perpetrated against all international humanitarian laws should continue, the Apunba Lup exhorted.
The Apunba Lup is spearheading the present people's movement for it foresaw what could be the fate of Manipuri nation if the excesses being committed under the Chief Minister and his group are not checked in time.
The Apunba Lup sought fuller cooperation of the people for the sake of the future of Manipuri Nation and also to bring an end to the prevailing frightening situation.
Pledging that the Apunba Lup would always stand for the rights of the people, it sought support and cooperation of the people so as to establish a crime-free, secure and progressive society in Manipur.
Saying that is has been receiving continuous support and cooperation from the people in its movement against the July 23 fake encounter, the Apunba Lup vowed that it would continue to lead the mass movement until its goals are achieved.
