Imphal, August 01 2013:
Manipuri Students' Federation (MSF) has demanded immediate release of its Thoubal Unit President Mehtab alias Abung, who was arrested by Thoubal Police today morning in connection with the protest over the rape of a girl student of Yairipok.
Addressing media persons at the office of MSF here yesterday, General Secretary RN Koireng said that the Government should change its mindset of suppressing an issue by arresting the agitators.
Mehtab was acting as a responsible student leader in a democratic state and his arrest by police is quite condemnable, he averred.
He further warned that the MSF would launch intense agitations if the arrested student leader is not released immediately.
