Imphal, September 24 2018:
Socialist Students' Union of Manipur (SSUM) has strongly condemned the raid carried out by security forces at Manipur University hostels at midnight of September 20 in which numerous students and teachers of the university were arrested.
A press release issued by the general secretary of SSUM today alleged that the incident is a barbaric act of political conspiracy by the RSS and BJP under Hindutva fascism and strongly condemned the resurgence of the conflict at the university brought by the BJP State Government.
Demanding the immediate release of the arrested students and teachers unconditionally, it mentioned that the banning of internet services by the BJP State Government following the incident clearly shows that the State Government is a dictator which suppresses the rights of the people.
It claimed that in the race to support and help RSS political nominees AP Pandey, the life of thousands of students have been affected and added that with the coming of the BJP Government in India, many other universities have been attacked by the RSS/BJP.
In Manipur as well, the students and teachers of Manipur University have been attacked under the strict supervision of RSS-BJP, it alleged.
Demanding immediate release of the arrested students and teachers, SSUM assured to support any upcoming students' movement in connection with the issue.
