Chandel, February 25 (MExN): The Anal Lelruwl Tangpi (Anal Students’ Union) today expressed “shock and bewilderment” over the complete silence maintained by Manipur Government on the NSF imbroglio even after more than 10 days. In this, the Union appealed for immediate settlement of the issue.
Condemning the highhandedness of the State Police force in the strongest of terms, a press statement from the Information Cell, ALT questioned what prompted the commandos to resort to such act.
Consequent to the unprecedented action of the Police commandos, the NSF imposed ban on vehicles owned by Meitei brethrens in Naga areas. “This would no doubt lead to more troubles and unrest between the two neighboring states,” ALT stated. In this regard, the student body appealed to student organizations in the valley to play their part and act swiftly to defuse the tension by pressuring the state government to penalize the offenders.
Meanwhile, the union also appealed to AMSU to show sympathy towards the NSF executives who underwent “tremendous torture” and assist in delivering justice, instead of threatening to retaliate in the same manner. “Mutual respect and showing solidarity is important in times of such unfortunate event, as this may happen with any student organizations in Nagaland too,” the Anal Students’ Union argued.
