Imphal, August 29:
Reacting strongly against the arrest and subsequent booking of public leaders spearheading the current agitation, Democratic Youth Federation of India has termed the actions of the Govt as irresponsible and immature which should be condemned by one and all.
Asserting that the State Govt will not never be able to suppress the ongoing agitation by booking the agitation leaders or with the might of its security forces, DYFI appealed to the State Govt to release the arrested leaders immediately without any conditions.
It further stated that the agitation will carry on as long as the dreaded AFSPA was completely scrapped off from the State.
It also urged the State Govt as well as the Central Govt to hold talks with the leaders of the Apunba Lup and help in bringing about normalcy in the State.
Meanwhile, New Age Club Singjamei Thongam Leikai has appealed to all the Ministers as well as the MLAs to resign immediately if they cannot fulfil the demands of the people.
Stating that the Ministers have no reason to be in power if they cannot work for the welfare of the people, it said that the Govt would be making a grave mistake if it thinks of suppressing the people's movement with brute force and added that the club will continue supporting the Apu- nba Lup till AFSPA has been scrapped off from State.
Women's Social Development Organisation Brahmapur and Service, Recreation and Organisation of Youths Singjamei have also demanded all the Ministers to step down immediately.
