Imphal, October 17 2014 :
Muan Tombing led All Tribal Students' Union Manipur (ATSUM) is currently under animated suspension, said former speaker of the union, Majabung Gangmei.
In a press conference held at Manipur Press Club, Majabung said that there was an incident of seeking Congress ticket by a functionary of ATSUM in favour of another using ATSUM letterhead before the 16th Lok Sabha election.
Regarding the matter, Majabung being a Speaker, sought an explanation from on May 12 this year.
During a meeting held at ATSUM office on May 14, a member admitted that he sought Congress ticket in favour of one without the resolution of the executive council, Majabung said.
After the admission, the union was placed under animated suspension on October 9, Majabung added.
Saying that he is still a caretaker of the union, Majabung said that he is ready to face all these matters in the Court as well.
He added that a man who identified himself as a cadre of a Naga militant organisation intimidated him over the phone on May 15 night.
Majabung added that the man also accused him of having connection with another UG outfit, which according to Majabung was baseless.
