Imphal, July 10 2018:
The relay hunger strike which kicks starts yesterday at Manipur University complex has entered two days.
Members of the MUSU, MUSA and the MUTA stand tight to their demand for removal of the VC Prof.AP Pandey and said that the two press statement released by the office of the PRO of Manipur University is another misleading to all the people of the state as no such PRO office exist in Manipur University as per the Act.
The stand of the Manipur University community stand was made clear to the Chief Minister of Manipur N.Biren Singh during meeting with the representatives of the MUTA yesterday.
A statement of the teachers' body said that the MUTA wmphatically conveyed to the Chief Minister that they are not going to retract from the united movement for the removal of the VC until the present incumbent in the VC's chair Prof.Pandey has been removed.
On the other hand in a press statement released today by the MUTA , MUSA and MUSU, the press statement of VC's released in the name of PRO office as another lie.
"While any public statement or official announcement is invariably made by an official, the two recent Statements are made by the Unsigned PRO Office; anyway no inanimate office can ever have the capacity to put any signature whatsoever.
This is a blatant indulgence in continuing his old habit of assuming that everybody can be fooled and all the time; and Once again, we assert that, there is no PRO Office in the Manipur University Act and hence nobody has the authority to issue such regulatory statements to the Press", the statement said.
