Imphal, December 09 2010:
The latest to join the trend of taking up fast unto death as the chosen mode of protest is the association of the DPC successful candidates for primary
teachers/HMT/HGT 2006 .
Starting from 10th December, candidates in batches of ten will fast unto death at Singjamei parking.
In a press release, the association threatened that it will start the fast protesting the undemocratic handling of the DPC successful candidates for primary teachers/HMT/HGT by the present SPF government.
It alleged that the government has been using all possible tactics to delay the appointment of DPC successful candidates.
The matter was first kept on hold saying an enquiry was going on.
After that it was forwarded to the law department to check if there were any legal loopholes.
However it is still unclear what kind of judgment the government is deciding to give.
It accused the government for wanton neglect.
Calling the SPF government a 'cowboy' government, the association said that there's none in the government to listen to peaceful non-violent demands of its people.
Due to this object failure, the association is compelled to turn to a protest form where they might have to sacrifice their lives.
