Protest against Manipur CM at Manipur Bhawan, Delhi
February 13, 2015:
Protest against Manipur CM's continued silence on gross misappropriation of funds sanctioned by the Central Government for Manipuri SC/OBC students.
Delhi University, Jamia and JNU students from Manipur are gathering under the banner of North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) tomorrow to protest against the gross misappropriation of funds released by the central government for SC/OBC Manipuri students. The protest has been called outside Manipur Bhawan.
The students are very agitated with the Manipur state authorities who have withheld the funds from central government meant for them, since 2010-2011. They are particularly angry since the CM of Manipur continues to evade the issue of how central government funds are being misappropriated rather than being directed to Manipuri youth to enable their higher education.
The CM's silence is troubling given earlier protests and representations made by NEFIS on the issue. We request your esteemed news agency to send a correspondent and a cameraperson to cover the news.
