Imphal, August 02: Taking into account hardships that would befall upon the common people of manipur in case ATSUM goes ahead with its proposed 96 hour bandh from August 10, the bharatiya janata Party manipur Pradesh has appealed to the student organisation to reconsider its agitation call.

The BJP, in statement issued by its media in-charge alleged that the SPF Govt is responsible for creating such uneasy situation as it had been resorting to delaying tactics inspite of assurances to implement or translate into action demands placed by the ATSUM.

It is imperative that ATSUM would opt for such sustained agitation programme as the SPF Govt had been unable to live upto the expectation of the people with particular reference to genuine grievances of ATSUM that had been striving to improve and develop education sector in the hill districts, BJP maintained.

Further high-lighting that business sharks and selfish traders are likely to capitalise on impending shortage of essential goods in case the bandh call is not revoked, the State unit BJP also called upon both the SPF Govt and ATSUM to find a way for settling their differences in the interest of the general public.
