When I heard this slogan for the first time, I wondered, being from NE and closely lived with people from Manipur, never heard of Manipur wanting Azadi from India. Yes, there was problem with Drugs, AIDS & AFSPA.
Also kept on wondering why do I see similar posts from similar people, so concerned about Manipur when they may have never visited NE ever in their life or has any clue about the problem.
Are they willfully not wanting to see the TRUTH.
Yesterday night while digging, I seem to have found some leads - WikiLeaks.
