Imphal, January 19:
As the Fast Unto Death stir undertaken by the adhoc employees of different departments under the aegis of All Manipur Adhoc Employees Association has completed 44 days, 67 agitators including 21 women have been sent to jail.
A statement issued by the Association remarked such inhuman treatment meted out to agitators of non violent nature is tantamount to dishonou-ring the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
It asked the ministers and MLAs of the SPF Government to think over the hardships faced by the adhoc employees as their only means of livelihood has been denied by the Government.
Saying that the adhoc employees have suffered long under the Government, it ridiculed and condemned the move of the SPF Government to terminate their service to make room for new appointments .
