Imphal, March 15 2024:
The All Manipur Muslim Students' Organisation (AMMSO) and Pangal Students' Organisation (PSO) Manipur have appealed for the safe release of FM Wahidur Rahman who was abducted by unknown armed miscreants on March 11 .
School teacher FM Wahidur Rahman from Lilong Haoreibi Mayai Leikai was abducted by unknown assailants while waiting to pick up his daughter from Learn English Easily (LEE) Coaching Centre, Pal Ahanbi, Canchipur, Imphal West.
Condemning the abduction, a statement issued by Kh Dilson, secretary general, AMMSO HQ asserted that the student community takes the abduction of a school teacher without any valid reason by unidentified persons and the failure of the State Government to nab the culprits involved, very gravely.
AMMSO cautioned that it would be in the best interest of the State for such armed miscreants to put a stop to acts of intimidation, abduction, snatching vehicles, kidnapping for ransom, gun violence, lobbing/planting bombs etc.
Urging them not to make an enemy out of the people, AMMSO stated that public power is greater than the strength of any bomb or gun.
Separately, PSO Manipur has warned the State Government that if it does not take up concrete steps to curb the growing incidence of ransom demands in the State, the current restive situation in Manipur might turn worse.
PSO Manipur stated that the news about FM Wahidur's abduction was reported in print and electronic media and went viral on social media platforms on March 12.It is an "intelligence failure" on the part of the Government for failing to unearth any information about the abduction till date, PSO Manipur added.
Demanding disclosure of the motive behind the abduction and the identity of the kidnappers, PSO has also appealed for safe and unconditional release of the school teacher.
PSO Manipur and AMMSO have both urged the State Government to locate the whereabouts of the victim and hand him over to his family.
Further, AMMSO warned it would launch an intense stir if FM Wahidur is not released at the earliest.
