Imphal, August 06 2014:
Condemning 'brutal' action against students, Manipur University Teachers' Association (MUTA) has demanded resignation of the present Vice-chancellor.
In a press statement, the association said that the present impasse arising out of the sudden imposition of the admission policy has been further escalated by the whimsical action of the University authority asking the hostellers to immediately vacate their hostel rooms before 4 pm of August 6 and suspension of all ongoing classes including the practical classes of PG courses.
It said that the present Vice-Chancellor has created a history, for the wrong cause though, by letting police fire tear gas shells inside the University campus.
It showed administrative failure of the Vice-Chancellor towards bringing an amicable solution, the press statement added.
It may be pertinent to mention here that MUTA had already asked for his resignation for failing miserably to improve the academic standard and streamlining the functioning of the University and working as an autocratic Vice-Chancellor.
There have also been breach of agreements with MUTA signed on February 10, 2014, as none of the MUTA's demands have been fulfilled so far, the statement said and added that it is high time for the present VC to step down from his post in the interest of the University in particular and public in general.
