Imphal, April 30:
Terming the ongoing peace talks between the Gol and the NSCN (IM) as another attempt by the Central Govt to re-ignite ethnic clashes amongst different community residing in the State and bring about territorial disintegration of Manipur in order to fulfill the demands of the NSCN (IM), United Committee Manipur has today urged the people to fight back and not fall prey to the sinister designs of the Indian Govt.In a statement, UCM Secy Gen Gourashyam Khoirom questioned why the Central Govt and the State Govt were allowing the NSCN (IM) cadres to collect illegal taxes from the people under their very nose and further said that the attitude of the Govt has raised apprehension among the public whether politicians and bureaucrats were also getting their share from the NSCN (IM) booty.
He also said that the Indian Govt would be making great mistake if it thinks that peace can be brought in the NE region by compromising with the territories of some of the States of the NE region.
He also called upon to the people to be wary of Govt's sinister campaign and oppose attempt to create ethnic tension in the State.
Asserting that the NSCN (IM) had been openly putting up agendas for the territorial disintegration of Manipur in its talks with the Indian Govt, he said that the people should stay alert and thwart the ill intentions of the NSCN without any fear.
