IMPHAL, October 2: The United Revolutionary Front, URF said the outfit is left with no other option other than quit the Memorandum of Understanding signed with both the State and Central governments and picked up arms once again.
A press statement signed by the outfit`™s chairman Lanheiba Meitei said that its cadres have been instructed to keep vigilant against any instigation.
The statement from the outfit`™s chairman Lanheiba Meitei said picking up arms once again has been necessitated in order to defend one`™s own rights and this has today become the only means to defend one`™s own identity.
The outfit had signed the Memorandum of Understanding with both the State and Centre on February 13, 2013.
The statement continued that since its formation, the outfit has been trying to unite the small revolutionary groups of Manipur and form a unified force.
It said the outfit was formed by seven smaller outfits on a common platform and has its own set rules and regulations.
It said on February 13, 2013 the outfit signed for peace-talks with both the State and Central governments.
Before the signing of the peace deal, the outfit had made several appeals for the welfare of the people to the representatives of both the State and the Centre, it said.
However, after the talk, both the governments seem to have forgotten their assurances, it said before asking how long a peace deal where the signatories are trying to pick faults with one another can last.
The Centre may not know, but the State government considers the signing of the MoU as a mass surrender, it said.
It continued that before the signing of the MoU, drafts were exchanged three times following which the MoU was signed at the Banquet hall of the 1st MR on February 13, 2013.
It said 90 cadres along with 50 weapons had arrived along with their leaders for the signing of the MoU.
However, the scene at the banquet hall was totally different from what the URF had reckoned, it said.
With much cajoling, the outfit managed to make the government take down the `Home coming ceremony` banner from the venue.
Further charging that the outfit was cajoled into signing the agreement, it said when the agreement was about to be signed, the outfit had checked on the agreement but found it to be different from the agreements reached beforehand.
But after much cajoling from the side of the government, the URF leaders were made to signed the agreement, it further said.
Now, whenever any complaint is made, it is denied stating that it is not in the agreement.
It further claimed that a person who had signed the peace treaty has not been even pardoned of previous cases and made to appear twice every month before the NIA Guwahati court.
The statement further said that it condemns and disapproves the government`™s act to completely crush an outfit and further demanded to immediately stop barricading police commandos at the Loitongkhunou camp of the URF.

IMPHAL, June 5: Chairman of the United Revolutionary Front (URF) Lanheiba Meitei clarifies on the incident of two cadres being killed at their camp. A release states that there are certain rules and regulations under which the outfit functions.
The outfit under its Article 3 of Charter 3 laid down certain conditions under which a cadre can be awarded capital punishment. It said that such punishment can be meted out if a cadre reveals the secrets of the outfit and hobnobs with enemies, in case of financial misappropriation and losing weapons. If a cadres indulges in intoxication and lures other young recruits; if found trying to split the organisation; if wrong charges are leveled against the leader with an aim to kill him, if immoral designs are perpetuated against women and other women cadres; if a cadre tries to desert the outfit or burns the flag of the organisation or documents.
It further mentioned that the two who were awarded capital punishments namely Irengbam Meelkumar alias Bode alias Washington and Pukhrambam Somorjit alias Bangcha were sent into the URF fold with ulterior motives, their intentions are well known to the URF, it said.
Further, the two came from different KCP organizations and they both always neglected the directives of the URF. They both were reprimanded on several occasions but failed to mend their ways. These could not be made public as the URF had to maintain a certain party protocol. However, killing a cadre and burying is not a new practice for the different outfits operating in the state, Lanheiba alleged. It is a practice to uproot the parasitic infection in its ebb, unless it consumes the whole system, he states further that it was a decision taken to save the lives of several other URF cadres. Lanheiba declared that if such an action taken to preserve the URF cadres demands the gallows, then he himself will not be hesitant for a moment to sacrifice as well in the interest of the outfit, added the statement.

IMPHAL, May 30: The JAC formed demanding the immediate shifting of the URF designated camp from Loitang Khonou, Spinning Mill has warned to launch several forms of agitation in case
IMPHAL, May 30: The JAC formed demanding the immediate shifting of the URF designated camp from Loitang Khonou, Spinning Mill has warned to launch several forms of agitation in case the government failed to provide positive response to the demand by Saturday 10am.
In this regard, the JAC president Kh Ibeton Devi said the JAC and family members of the two URF cadres whose bodies were found buried inside the storeroom of the designated camp have already submitted a memorandum to the minister concerned yesterday evening.
While declaring the incident as heinous, a family member of one of the two dead cadres urged the government to take proper action and to cancel the SoO signed with the outfit.
Addressing the media at the Manipur Press Club today, Kh Ibeton Devi said the memorandum has warned that the JAC and the family members are ready to launch several agitations including a State wide general strike in case the government fail to take any positive action on their demand.
She said yesterday, locals of several villages staged a sit in protest near the Loitangkhunou Spinning Mill and later took out a rally around the camp.
The memorandum has also demanded the minister to arrest the culprits involved in the killing of the two at the earliest and to punish them accordingly.
Even though the memorandum had demanded the government to take some positive steps during the deadline set by the JAC, till now there has been no such response from the government, she said.
The JAC and family members will join hands with the various civil society organisations of the State and launch agitations.
A family member of one of the dead cadres said, the act is highly condemnable as the cadres had joined the peace process by signing a memorandum with the government with an aim of returning to the mainstream, she said.
She lamented after the two were reported missing, the family members had contacted the leaders of the outfit who told them repeatedly that the two had deserted the camp during the intervening night of March 18-19 and on May 28 their bodies were recovered buried inside the store room of the designated camp.
She called on the government to take proper action against all involved in the crime and to cancel the Memorandum of Understanding signed with the outfit.
