The CorCom raised strong objection
to the Government of India's attempt to enter the league of
the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). A representation jointly
signed by UNLF 'chairman' and CorCom 'convenor' Khundongbam
Pambei, PREPAK 'acting chairman' Khumujam Shathy, PREPAK-Pro
'chairman' Longjam Paliba and RPF 'president' Irengbam Chaoren
and addressed to the NSG Chair asserted that the Government
of India does not deserve any respect and therefore must not
enjoy NSG membership. Manipur was forcibly annexed by India
on October 15, 1949, they alleged. India's membership to NSG
will buttress its agenda to building a monolithic nuclear power
block in the region, which will in turn become the instrument
of oppression by the exploitative market forces that have been
erected to enjoy the spoils of unjust war.

The CorCom called for an 18-hour total shutdown
on October 15, the day on which the conglomerate of five major
rebel groups in Manipur observed as "Leipakki Amamba Numit" (National
Black Day) every year. The 18-hour total shutdown (Sintha Leppa)
would be effective from the intervening night of Friday (October
15) and Saturday (October 15) and ends at 6 pm on Saturday. Manipur
was merged to the Republic of India on October 15, 1949 after
a merger agreement was signed between the then King of Manipur
and India. Alleging that the merger agreement was signed by the
then King of Manipur Maharaja Budhachandra at gun point after
he was summoned to Shillong, Meghalaya, rebel groups of the state
have been observing October 15 every year as "National Black Day".

The CorCom has greeted all the people of Manipur
on the 77th anniversary of Nupi Lan (December 12). Recalling the
legacy of the first Nupi Lan of 1904, a statement issued by CorCom
asserted that Manipuri women started donning the roles of vanguards
on both political and economic fronts as male population was severely
depleted in the aftermath of the war fought against Ava (Myanmar)
in 1817 and the Anglo-Manipur war of 1891.
