IMPHAL, April 16: Another group of the banned Kangleipak Communist Party, KCP on the occasion of its 21st Anniversary has greeted the people of Manipur. The outfit, in a message issued today through Home Secretary Apanba Meitei, in connection with the foundation anniversary has fervently appealed to all the insurgent groups operating in Manipur to jointly pursue the common goal of achieving independence from the 'colonial yoke' of the Indian government. Pointing out that efforts to subjugate, conquer, and dominate any culture, country as well as traditions of any nation in the world by some more powerful ones are a lesson to us in our progressive struggle, the message said, "by remembering the anti-Hindu Aurangajeb's oppressive rules and Lord Dalhousie's doctrines of lapse' devouring all the princely states of India, we must strive towards an objective of peaceful co-existence and treating a distinct identity of ourselves. We cannot and should not honour the forced merger agreement which was signed between the Govt of India and King Budhachandra of Manipur, it said. KCP will never deviate from its avowed path of self-determination. In this struggle, people's cooperation is must, particularly from the leaders of the state who have been indulging in women self-aggrandizement in the course of their functions as servants, it said.
