The proscribed RPF and its armed wing PLA have offered revolutionary salutes to its cadre Pte Leichil alias Thingbaijam Ibungo alias Chand (20) s/o Th Ibochou Meetei of Moreh ward no.7 who was killed by a combined force of 21 Assam Rifles and Thoubal Police Commandos at Khordak on December 12.Leichil was killed after being arrested, chief of department of communication and publicity of the outfit N Wangba said in a statement while sharing the grief and sorrow along with the bereaved family members, friends and well-wishers of the slain cadre.
Wangba further said life of a freedom fighter is to sacrifice and there is no bigger sacrifice than to lay it down for the motherland.
It is on this account that significance of a function held in commemoration of pioneering revolutionary leader Irabot is being felt more than the Republic Day (January 26) despite the efforts being made to suppress the people of Manipur, Wangba said while expressing regret over presence of some people among Manipuri society who are working against their own kinsmen without understanding who is the real enemy.
