Imphal, February 14, 2013:
Komrem Students' Union, General Headquarter (KRSU/GHQ) today announced its support to ATSUM's proposed indefinite economic blockade from midnight of February 16 stating that the issues raised by All Tribal Students' Union Manipur led by Emboi Serto are all for the cause of tribal communities.
While expressing hope that the Govt will, at the earliest, fulfill the rightful demands of ATSUM for the tribals, K.Jim Kom, General Secretary KRSU/GHQ asserted that the Govt.Spokesman M.Okendro has noted that the demands raised by ATSUM are legitimate/reasonable which transparently indicated the Govt.is indeed very much aware of the tribal people's rights and privileges but ignored them intentionally for too long.
In the meantime, KRSU/GHQ has denounced the statement of ZSUM, wherein the latter had stated that the state Govt.is loosing in terms of crores whenever bandh or blockade is imposed in the state, and countered that the tribal people have been loosing in term of millions while their rights and privileges are being denied and ignored for a long period.
KRSU/GHQ also questioned ZSUM where they were when the National Projects in the state were banned by pseudo-ATSUM.
