‘Home coming ceremony’ is an enacted drama: CorCom

IMPHAL| Aug 16

Calling the ‘home coming ceremony’ on August 14 as a new surrender drama, the proscribed umbrella organisation, CorCoM has alleged the whole ‘drama’ was a publicity stunt to demoralise the people, said a statement signed by Ksh. Yoiheiba, media coordinator of the group.

The whole exercise is part of the colonial government’s propaganda to deceive the public and to project the revolutionary movement in a poor light.

Those who surrendered in the recent ‘Home coming ceremony’ are the incompetent ones, who were not qualified to be a revolutionary, having failed to follow the principle of the organisation and most of them are runaways who had deserted the group after committing disdainful acts, said the release.   

What makes the occasion all the more interesting, is that those who were staying as runaways since the last 14/15 years and have been working under the Indian army for committing anti- social activities like terrorising the public, kidnap and torture, and acted many roles in repeated surrender dramas, had been randomly gathered and presented to the public in a fresh avatar, said a release.

Sapam Mohon alias Iboyaima from Tentha Khunoi who was presented as a major of UNLF, is not a major but a 2nd lieutenant, it said adding he worked for the party’s department of organisation for some time and became a deserter who started working with the Indian army as a representative of KCP (City Metei), and been involved in committing anti-social activities.  

Longjam Jiten alias Manglem from Yairipok Kekru who is presented as a captain, worked as sergeant major in 2006 but became a ‘lap dog’ of the Indian army after deserting the party, it further said adding he became a representative of URF and was made to commit extortions and kidnapping.

Brigadier Jame alias Uttam, is also a deserter of RPF/PLA who left the organisation becoming incompetent and unable to maintain discipline and codes of the organisation, it further said.

Those who took part in the surrender drama are given their final part by the Indian Army after using them, it further continued. CorCoM lamented that the organisation could not keep these fugitives away from the public and prevent the damages they had caused; it said adding the organisation is prepared to give them punishments anytime.

It urged the public not to be dismayed by the act of defamation carried out by the colonial government and acknowledged that such occasion is actually beneficial to CorCoM as it helps them in a way to delimitates the traitors, it added.
