Imphal, Sept 4,
Manipuri Students’ Association Delhi (MSAD) in a statement said that the government of India is desperate to further penetrate its colonial grip over Manipur.
The statement refers to the ongoing crisis at Manipur University.
“The political agent that is AP Pandey sent from Delhi has assumed all the authority in his hand and has come to Manipur University abrogating and nullifying the MoU signed between the Government of India through its MHRD and Manipur University community represented by students, teachers and staffs, MUSU, MUTA and MUSA respectively on 16th August 2018 in presence of Manipur CM Nongthombam Biren, Chief Secretary and Education Minister. The self appointment of the Hindu Brahmin agent is only possible because of the impunity and freehand given to him by the Delhi government. This is a clear insult not only to MU but to the Manipur public as a whole. The attitude that is of fascism is reflected in the undemocratic step of banning MUSA and MUTA”, the MSAD said.
The statement further said that the Delhi government represented by the Hindu fanatic organization is in the mission of destroying the social fabric of Manipur. It is in the task of contriving a divide between the hill and the valley community to serve its own political agenda. We have been witnessing various conflicting voices emerging out of Manipur which clearly is a result of the BJP ploy to counter the people’s legitimate struggle.
MSAD also said that The Government of Manipur led by CM Nongthombam Biren has become a mockery in front of the people of Manipur and the seemingly all powerful AP Pandey.
“It is such a shame that the CM of Manipur is now a mere spectator in the whole drama designed from Delhi. The CM of Manipur is a mere puppet figure kept in Manipur which is now crystal clear, an insult to himself and Manipur”, MSAD said.
In the present movement there has been a lack of addressing the larger political relation between Manipur and India from the stakeholders of the movement, and this constitutes the inherent weakness of the movement. Stakeholders from inside the Manipur University should stop seeing the struggle merely as between the MHRD and the university.
