Our beloved martyrs have added value and dignity to our Cause and struggle for our final victory. We shall ever be motivated and inspired by the sacrifices of those brave hearts and patriots who have shown the light on the path to victory. Let us look upward and forward with greater zeal and hope as we move on asserting our right to self determination till our goal is gained.
“Our forerunner and legendary patriot Haipou Jadonang have sown the seed of freedom followed and exemplified by Rani Gaidinliu, the renowned freedom fighter of India from our soil. The legacy of our historical struggle and aspiration has now been manifested in the form and figure of Zeliangrong United Front. The front has been holding the legacy and historical objectives of Zeliangrong People Convention (ZPC). The ZUF in solemn oath taking took up the cause of pursuing and following the process of asserting our legitimate demand for Zeliangrong Homeland. In pursuance of Zeliangrong People political aspiration, we have been asserting and demanding a Zeliangrong Statehood within the Union of India. We Shall continue to uphold our solemn commitment made before God and the Peopleand pay allegiance to the established principle of the Organization. We shall not surrender or give in to the politic of the opponents. We shall rise above the current storms of oppositions. No victory or solution can come about by giving up our struggle.
“Victory is found in the battle. No option. We must fight our battle. Much have been done and sacrificed already, we cannot give up our struggle halfway. The cost of giving up our mission would be heavier and deadlier than self torturing to death.Our victory is possible and It can happen anytime now. Let us press on harder. The darker the night, the sooner the day break.
Let us not forget to pay the price of our freedom. Freedom is not free. We are to pay forour best for securing our freedom in our generation. It is time for our people to come together forfeiting our petty differences for the sake of our common interest and aspiration. Let us denounce factional and selfish interest. Let us uphold and pursue the common cause and interest of our people. I heartily convey my warmest welcoming motion with gratitude to all home comers and extend our hands to all who are coming to our fold in the interest of the people and for the dear cause of our motherland. We shall work together in the spirit of brotherly love and the love for realizing our envisioned Homeland”, the statement of the chairman said.
