Imphal, October 11 2018:
Demanding immediate and unconditional release of all the people arrested in connection with the MU crisis so far, MUSU has warned that the State Government should be held accountable for any untoward incident if the Government chooses to ignore the demand.
Speaking to media persons today, MUSU president M Dayaman, nonetheless welcomed the High Court of Manipur's order whereby former Chief Secretary Jarnail Singh has been appointed Administrator of MU.
Yet, he said that there is no guarantee the High Court's intervention will resolve the crisis fully, he added.
Claiming that the Secretary to the Governor had pointed out that the FIR lodged by Prof Yugindro was incorrect, Dayaman said counter FIRs had been lodged against Prof Yugindro in connection with the arrest of many students and teachers who were not present at the spot where he was resisted from taking charge of VC on September 20 .
Prof Yugindro went to the extent of falsely charging the teachers and students with attempt to murder, Dayaman decried.
He also demanded immediate withdrawal of the FIR.
Dayaman said that MUSU's earlier decision of not cooperating with the two-member enquiry committee constituted to probe the charges levelled against Prof Pandey has been revoked.
He said they would now give full cooperation to the enquiry committee.
He also condemned the arrest of 13 students yesterday for demanding unconditional release of fellow students and teachers arrested earlier.
Categorically stating that detaining students and teachers would not bring any solution, he demanded immediate release of all the teachers, students and other people arrested in connection with the MU crisis.
Saying that security personnel currently stationed in MU campus have outnumbered students, he demanded the State Government to pull out all the security personnel
at the earliest.
