Imphal, May 29 2013:
Kuki Students Organisation, Sadar Hills (KSO-SH) has said it will oppose tooth and nail the proposed '38 hours intense agitation and 38 days sustained agitation' of All Tribal Students Union, Manipur (ATSUM) to be begun from June 3 .
Calling it as 'pseudo ATSUM', KSO-SH said the ATSUM's agitation from June 3 is not mandated nor it is a legitimate students' body to speak on behalf of the tribals.
KSO-SH also said 'pseudo ATSUM' has been floated by vested interest persons.
Meanwhile, ATSUM said today it is now all prepared to start the agitation from 5 am of June 3 its proposed "intense agitation' for 38 hours under the code name ROTO (Reckoning of the Others) will begin from 5 am of June 3 to be followed by another 38 days of 'sustained agitation' in protest against the ignoring of various demands put up by the students' body to the state government of Manipur on tribal issues.
