IMPHAL, February 14: Maring Students’ Union (MSU) has strongly condemned a reported statement of the DGP, Manipur LM Khoute made to his Nagaland counterpart Leng Doungel that the State police commandos did not assault the NSF team and had stopped the team for routine checking which the NSF team did not comply to.
In joint statement issued by the union’s president Modar Charang and information secretary TM Kotang, it stressed as to why the commandos asked the NSF team “why the Nagas cannot speak Manipuri.”
The union alleged that this obviously shows that the Manipuri commandos are working on communal lines and had knowingly disrupted the NSF team heading for Ukhrul to participate in the Lui-Ngai-Ni festival.
The MSU appealed to the concern authority to respond according to the memorandum submitted by Naga Students’ Federation rather than giving justification by giving false statement.
