Imphal, June 20 2016:
The JAC
Against Brutally Killing of Md
Farooque Khan, Md Saddam,
Both From Lilong Turel
Ahanbi, Kaleikhong and Md
Zamir of Lilong Haoreibi
Awang Leikai who is seriously
injured has called a 48 hours
bandh in Thoubal district and
along Mayai Lambi with effect
from June 23.
Speaking to media persons
at Manipur Press Club here
this afternoon, JAC convenor
Mustafa said that two stu-
dents namely Md farooque
Khan and Md Saddam were
killed while Md Zamir was
physically assaulted brutally
at Mayang Imphal Sagai
Shabi on April 7 this year.
Even as the JAC, the Chief
Minister and his Cabinet
Ministers held a meeting on
the issue, the Government has
failed to translate into action
what were agreed at the meet-
ing, Mustafa said and added
that the bandh has been called
to protest this.
It is the Government's fail-
ure to fulfil its assurance
which has compelled the JAC
to call a 48 hours bandh.
If the Government still
fails to come up with a posi-
tive response even after the
bandh, the JAC would launch
more intense modes of agitation in the coming days, he
warned.
Media, water supply,
power, medical services and
religious activities would be
exempted from the purview
of the bandh, he added .
