Imphal, August 04 2015: JCILPS Students' Wing has said that they have taught a befitting lesson to the Education Minister, who announced resumption of classes in the educational institutes of Greater Imphal area on the pretext of putting an effort to save the academic career of students.

In a statement, Students' Wing also strongly condemned police action on a group of student protesters at Secretariat complex yesterday.

The police action especially meted out by a police Inspector was too rude, the statement said.
