Mass protest staged in in front of Raj Bhavan
Imphal, Feb 22: Union Home Minister, Rajnath’s clarification on framework agreement signed between the NSCN-IM and the GoI, during his visit here in Imphal has failed to convince the Civil Society organisation of the state as well as the students’ bodies as the Home Minister only stated that Manipur was not included in the agreement but did not produced the agreement copy.
At around noon today large number of womenfolk and volunteers of the All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU) thronged at the Raj Bhavan, demanding the governor to urge the center for producing the signed agreement to the public.
As the students thronged to the Raj Bhavan, police team who were present at the site tried to stopped them in front of Education (U) office. As the student agitators instead of retreating tried to forcibly enter the Raj Bhavan the police team swung into action and confrontation took place between the two groups.
Talking to reporters a student leader said that they will continue the agitation until the government of India produce a white paper of the framework agreement.
The agitation was launched on February 5 and still continuing.
He said they were on their way to the Raj Bhavan to urge the governor of Manipur for giving pressure to the Union of india to make public, the content of the frame work agreement signed between the NSCN-IM and Goi on August 3, 2015.
If the demand is not fulfil the student bodies will continue various form of agitation, he added.
