“The magnitude of suffering of the people of the present Manipur is greater than that of the Chahi Taret Khuntakpa, also known as Seven Years Devastation, ” said party president Haorongbam Sharat.
He said the people of the state have not been able to freely travel within their own land now, and that they have to travel by flight to other states.

Sharat asserted that “Leingak” was launched with the principal objective to save the future generations from the suffering they may face in the event of persistence of the present condition.
“All the Northeastern states except three which are governed by BJP are politically stable and there is peace and harmony because they are ruled by regional parties. So, let’s make a new political history of the state”, he said.
He also appealed to the masses to extend support to the new outfit in its efforts to restore the “past Manipur” which was a self-reliant state.
