Imphal, Jan 7:
Proscribed group PREPAK(Pro) has claimed responsibility of the IED blast that occurred at Lilong Usoipokpi area killing personnel of the Assam Rifles while injuring another on Wednesday this week.
A statement by Th. Eshingchaoba, Assistant Publicity Secretary
of PREPAK (Pro) said that the IED was blasted by the tactical action of Cobra Task Force-3 of PREPAK(Pro).
“In fact, there was a moment of emotional hesitation considering the unfortunate results that would be happening from this action. We also felt the sadness and grief of the families while beholding the lifeless body and injured personals of IOF. Such predictable unfortunate outcomes compelled us to curb our abilities in the past. We are even more distressed as this unwanted destiny had fallen to two of our WESEA’s people”, the statement said.
It further added that the Indian leaders, sometimes, purposefully appreciated the bravery and courage of our forefathers but they never explain the root causes of the burning so-called insurgency issue.
It said many centrally sponsored development programmes have been implemented and many leaders are frequently visiting to look after Manipur which are somewhat appreciable. But we must know that as India forcibly merged Kangleipak (Manipur) into Indian Union, it is their responsibility to keep special attentions which were neglected for a long time. So, their actions are too little too late as they try hastily to cover their past mistakes and their stepmotherly attitudes.
The statement warn saying, “We have the resources to carry out often similar actions of Usoipokpi. We don’t like such deadly action but it would have happened endlessly and restlessly as long as IOFs are stationed in Kangleipak (Manipur)”.
