Imphal, February 13, 2013:
All Tribal Students Union Manipur (ATSUM) led by Emboi Serto has been criticised by Churachandpur District Students Union (CDSU) for the proposed indefinite economic blockade.
CDSU said the Emboi Serto led ATSUM is a splinter group and has no mandate of the tribal student organisations in Manipur.
It further pointed out that the issue over which the said economic blockade is to be imposed is also being taken by the ATSUM led by Muan Tombing and Vareiyo Satshang with the Government of Manipur.
CDSU then said the economic blockade not only will give hardship to the valley districts but also to the hills even more severely.
CDSU advised that economic blockade should not be used as a cheap tool to serve one own's vested interest.
