Imphal, May 13 2009:
THE MANIPURI Students' Federation (MSF) deplores that Principal of LMS Law College, N Gopeshwar for failing to conduct the students' union election of the College while demanding early election in the college from the concerned authority.
A press statement released by MSF information and publicity secretary, Longjam Umakanta Meetei stated that the students' body will not accept the statement of the Principal that appeared in newspapers on May 1 saying the election could not be held due to the ban of the election by a group of insurgent.
Alleging that the government and the college principal have been colluding to abolish the students' union of the college, the statement observed that the move for the abolition of an elected students' union in educational institution is nothing but sowing the seeds of unwanted development in a democratic process.
The MSF statement also urged the concerned organisation to announce in public if they had banned the election and furnish the reasons thereof while also urging the concerned authority to hold the election at the earliest.
