Militant Org asks Manipur CM to stop 'state violence'

Imphal: A militant organisation here today asked Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh to stop the "state (sponsored) terrorism" by February 20 failing which his government would have to face consequences. In a statement here, People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) demanded the Chief Minister to instruct police and security forces "to stop killing innocent persons in the name of fighting militants".

The outfit alleged that the Manipur has become a society of "widows and orphans" because of "state terrorism", saying the "Chief Minister was a silent spectator" on the issue.

The group also warned of targeting the police if the deadline was not met. It has given a list of people who were allegedly killed by security personnel in recent weeks.

The Prepak had exploded grenades near the Chief Minister's official residence in September and October last year, official sources said.

Manipur varsity VC’s resignation demanded

IMPHAL, Feb 13 – Manipur University Students’ Union has demanded resignation of the Vice Chancellor, Pro-Vice Chancellor and Registrar for postponing the selection process for appointment of professors.

“We have been boycotting the three officials for the past three days and protested against them on Wednesday inside the university,” a statement issued here by the Union said.

However, their protests would not affect the normal routine work of the University, the statement claimed while criticising the ‘hidden agenda’ of the University authorities while trying to appoint professors for some departments.
