IMPHAL, Jun 20: The JAC Against Brutally Killing of Md Farooque Khan, Md Saddam, Both From Lilong Turel Ahanbi, Kaleikhong and Md Zamir of Lilong Haoreibi Awang Leikai who is seriously injured has called a 48 hours bandh in Thoubal district and along Mayai Lambi with effect from June 23.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here this afternoon, JAC convenor Mustafa said that two students namely Md farooque Khan and Md Saddam were killed while Md Zamir was physically assaulted brutally at Mayang Imphal Sagai Shabi on April 7 this year.
Even as the JAC, the Chief Minister and his Cabinet Ministers held a meeting on the issue, the Government has failed to translate into action what were agreed at the meeting, Mustafa said and added that the bandh has been called to protest this.
It is the Government’s failure to fulfil its assurance which has compelled the JAC to call a 48 hours bandh.
If the Government still fails to come up with a positive response even after the bandh, the JAC would launch more intense modes of agitation in the coming days, he warned.
Media, water supply, power, medical services and religious activities would be exempted from the purview of the bandh, he added.
