Imphal, July 19:
All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) has described all political parties meeting held yesterday in the backdrop of the public outcry against the death of Th Manorama in the custody of Assam Rifles and public demand for removal of Armed Forces Special Power Act as gathering of idle rumour mongers.
Denouncing the resolution of reviewing imposition of the Act in Manipur, AMSU wondered why it has to take such a long time in reviewing the Act when all the political parties have pledged to remove black laws from Manipur in the election manifestos.
Yesterday's resolution of the all political parties have also confirmed that the pledges made during election time was just a tactic of winning election.
Reacting to the statement made by Lok Sabha Dr Meinya who said that certain provisions in the Act could be amended, the students body flayed the MP for his lack of knowledge with regard to need for consensus of the Parliament for amending an Act passed by it.
