Imphal, August 01:
Leaders of the AMSU, MSF and DESAM unit of Bishnupur Dist have today warned all the political leaders of Bishnupur dist to actively participate in the ongoing public protest against the killing of Manorama or else stern action will be taken up against them.
In a joint statement, the leaders of the three student organizations asserted that all political leaders of Bishnupur dist should join the people's movement and work for the removal of AFSPA without taking into consideration whether they had won or lost in the last general election.
Lamenting that political leaders had tried to cast the students agitation in a very bad light before the public, the leaders said that the students' action was not politically influenced nor instigated by any third party.
Referring to the students protest at MLA's Radhakishore's residence yesterday, they said the MLA's escorts fired several rounds indiscriminately while the women folks present verbally abused the agitating students.
They further stated that the actions of the womenfolk were highly condemnable.
