Imphal, Oct 11: Members of the Manipur University Tribal Students’ Union (MUTSU) today stage protest in front of Youth Hostel at Khuman Lampak in Imphal West demanding revocation of the resolution adopted by the Academic Council of the Manipur University Regarding reservation of Admission to the University.
The MUTSU volunteers along with other tribal students yesterday left the Manipur University in protest against the resolution on reservation by the Academic Council of the Manipur University and have been staying at Youth Hostel at Khuman Lampak.
A representative of the MUTSU while speaking to media persons said that there are around 900 (nine hundred) tribal students studying in the Manipur University. He appealed all tribal students to endorse the decision of the MUTSU on reservation issue and appealed them not to write any assignments, test or class related activities until the demand is met. He warns serious consequences to those students who failed to follow the directives of the Students’ Body. On the other hand the student body also appealed the University authority not to conduct any form of test or assignment writing before the ongoing impasse on reservation issue is not settled.
The MUTSU further stated that the Academic Council should follow and implement the Central Educational Institutions Reservation in Admission Amendment Act, 2012 at which the court had also directed to the University authority.
