Speaking during the day’s observation at the Manipur Dramatic Union Hall here, AMUCO president Deban said that the historic mass rally was taken out to protect the territorial integrity of Manipur following alleged threat on the State’s integrity in the wake of the ceasefire agreement signed between the Centre and the NSCN(IM).
Apart from commemorating the historic rally, the people need to monitor the situation arising out of the Framework Agreement signed between the Centre and NSCN(IM), he felt.
