Imphal, Aug 4: All Manipur United Clubs’ Organisation (AMUCO) today called upon all the communities living in Manipur to stand together to protect the integrity of the state on the observance of 20th Manipur Integrity Rally Day at Manipur Dramatic Union (MDU) Hall.
Speaking on the occasion, Ph Devan, President of AMUCO recalls the historic mammoth rally held against the cease fire agreement signed between the government of India and NSCN-IM at Bangkok in 1997. “ It was not on the cease fire agreement but against the extension of the cease fire without territorial limit”, Devan said.
Devan said that the people of Manipur have been suffering after Manipur became a part of India.
Under the AFSPA and centre’s divide and rule policy, a misunderstanding has been created between the valley and hills, he added.
Devan accused the government for the MoU signed between multi-national companies to exploit the resources of the State.
Devan also said that the Meitei, Naga, Kuki and Pangal should remain united and all the communities should together as one to save Manipur.
Earlier, the participant of the observance offered floral tribute at the integrity pillar near Polo ground in the morning.
