Manipur Students' Federation (MSF) organised the 10th Student Martyrdom Day on the theme "To Excel Rights to Life" at Thau ground here to commemorate the sacrifice made by Chittaranjan.

Justice Upendra regretted that the Government of India has not been paying heed to the reports of the Justice Jeevan Reddy Committee and retired Supreme Court Judge Santosh Hegde Commission recommending for review and repeal of AFSPA.

The Government is showing the world the country is following non-violence, a weapon once introduced by Mahatma Gandhi, but it has been unleashing violence against its people, Upendra said.

He accused the Government of India of being 'totalitarian Government' and demanded it to revoke AFSPA wholly from the state.

People in large number paid homage to Chittaranjan on the occasion at Bishnupur bazaar in Bishnupur district where he set himself on fire and died.

Hundreds of students also paid floral tributes at his photo at his native place Takhellambam Leikai in Imphal West.

From there, they set off a silent rally which culminated at the Thau ground.

Kh Serajuddin, president, MSF, Th Iboyaima, social worker, Prof L Sadananda, general secreatry, Senior Citizens for Society and several leaders of various civil society organisations were also present at the function.
