Imphal, July 27 2015:
Joint Students' Union (JSU) of Government Higher Secondary School has called upon all private schools and coaching centres to shutdown classes till August 2 .
The step has been taken by the union to demand awarding punishment to all police personnel responsible for Sapam Robinhood killing and a strong Inner Line Permit System (ILPS) to protect the interests of the indigenous people, a statement said.
"Until these key demands are met by the Government, all private schools and coaching centres are urged to shutdown classes till August 2," said JSU.
The union stated that now is the time that the people of Manipur considered the Right to Life far more important than Life to Education.
JSU appealed all students, parents and guardians of private educational institutes and coaching centres to take part in the public movement .
The union also extended support to the proposed 38-hour State wide shutdown called by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) against the brutal killing of Sapam Robinhood.
The general strike is scheduled to begin at 5 am Tuesday, July 28 .
