Imphal, May 30:
Asserting that the issue arising out of the arrest of MAFYF president Sapamcha Kangleipal has become a State issue since Kangleipal was imprisoned after being released by court, MAFYF has reiterated its demand for unconditional release of Kangleipal.
A press release issued by MAFYF said that unconditional release of Kangleipal is the demand of the people of Manipur.
Arrest of all the functionaries of all the branches of MAFYF could not silence the demand for release of Kangleipal as the issue has become a State issue, it alleged.
On the other hand, some people taking advatange of the existing people's agitation burnt down documents of their own office just to cover up their own corrupt practices and shady dealings, it asserted.
MAFYF further clarified that the incident of burning office or any act of vandalising public property was not related with the people's movement being undertaken against the arrest of MAFYF president.
It further warned that indefinite economic blockade will be launched on both the National highways from June 11 and this would be followed by total blockade in case the Government fails to respond positively to the ongoing democratic agitation.
