Imphal, April 26:
In pursuit of their demands for reservation of tribal candidates in Manipur University and other central institutions, the Manipur University Tribal Students' Union (MUTSU) has called a general strike within the MU campus on April 28.A press release issued by MUTSU said that all classes and administrative works will remain closed on the day.
It is irritating and unnecessary for the UGC team to visit Manipur University in connection with upgradation and implementation of UGC rules in MU when the tribal community of Manipur is deprived of their rights, it stated.
It also decried the failure of both the Central and State Governments to redress the grievances of tribals students/communities in Manipur University.
If any untoward incident happens to any one defying the general strike including the visiting UGC team, MUTSU should not be held responsible, added the release.
