Imphal, Apr 12 (UNI) The Revolutionary Peoples' Front (RPF) ruled out the possibility of holding talks with the Manipur government and has decided to continue its armed struggle.

''The state government had not agreed to hold plebiscite to decide the political fate of the region,'' the RPF added.

It further said there was distrust and tension between different ethnic groups in the state.

The organisation appealed to the people of the state to offer tributes to the Cheiraoching martyrs tomorrow.
