Imphal, May 27 2009: Strongly refuting the charges of KYKL levelled against Prof Islamuddin as baseless and unfounded, the JAC Against the Brutal Killing Dr Md Islamuddin, Professor (Economics Dept) and Proctor of Manipur University, Canchipur has categorically stated that the statement of KYKL was nothing short of the posthumous allegation of NSCN (IM) against Kasom Khullen SDO Dr Th Kishan.

It is act of terrorist to level false charge after being killed, JAC convenor Md Zakir Hussain said in a statement, adding that the hollowness of the charges levelled against Prof Islamuddin can be understood even by a child.

Contending that Prof Islamuddin has been made a scapegoat by the proscribed outfit in its attempt to project some people and demonstrate strength, the JAC said that Prof Islamuddin had only carried out his duties related to the election of the student union of Manipur University with the approval of University authorities.

So KYKL should think over who else have been punished in similar manner over the same issue, the JAC said.

The JAC also demanded resignation of Vice Chancellor of Manipur University owing moral responsibility over the murder of Prof Islamuddin and come out with a public apology in this regard.

While informing that the last rites of Prof Islamuddin would be performed at his birthplace Yairipok Changamdabi at 3 pm tomorrow and but a condolence meeting would be held at MU campus at 10 am, the JAC has also appealed to all the people to take part in the condolence meeting.
