IMPHAL, July 27: The JAC formed inconnection to the death of class XI student Sapam Robinhood alias Thoi has imposed a 38-hour state-wide general strike with effect from 5 am of July 28 in condemnation of the alleged failure of the government to deliver justice to the death case despite taking much time and suspend the police personnel involved in the killing of the student.
Announcing the call of the strike in a statement, the JAC said religious procession, medical and media will be exempted from the purview of the strike.
It also decided to boycott MLA of Heingang Constituency N Biren indefinitely for misleading the people by making false promises that those police personnel involved in the killing of Robinhood will be surely suspended soon
Claiming that some individuals are seeking financial assistance from the people in the name of the JAC, it asked the concerned individuals to stop the unwarranted act immediately.
The unwarranted act has been detected at a time when the State is in turmoil over the demand for enactment of a fresh bill to check the incessant entry of non-locals, it said.
The concerned individuals should take sole responsibility if any untoward incident arises thereafter, the JAC cautioned.
It further appealed to the people to extend full support to the general strike by taking part in different forms of protest demonstrations during the course of the strike.
