IMPHAL, May 5
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Churachandpur District Students’ Union (CDSU) has joined the oust Manipur Agriculture minister Md Abdul Nasir campaign.
Earlier, Federation of All Tribal Youth Clubs, Manipur (FATYCM), ATSUM and several other organisations have demanded the removal of minister Md Abdul Nasir.
The Manipur Agriculture minister had allegedly abused a tribal officer verbally with racial remark sometimes ago.
On Monday, CDSU said said it fully lends its weight endorsing All Tribal Students Union, Manipur (ATSUM) demanding the removal of minister Md Abdul Nasir from his post.Terming it as an ‘arrogant attitude and unbecoming behaviour’ of the minister committed upon David Zamzathang, Zonal Education Officer of Thoubal district, the CDSU said the victim was a dedicated tribal officer hailing from Churachandpur district. The CDSU further expressed its support to the ATSUM in its relentless pursuit to bring justice by demanding the immediate resignation of the ‘belligerent minister’ on moral ground. CDSU urged the chief minister of Manipur to drop him from his council of ministers, keeping in view the hurt sentiments of the tribal.
Meanwhile, CDSU said it is is fully convinced that the man of such ‘uncivilized’ nature shall find no place in today’s society and deserves befitting action for the same and for which the competent authorities must address the matter with utmost urgency and seriousness to avert further misunderstanding or undesirable consequences. As such, delaying in taking the matter shall be construed of denial of justice to the state’s entire tribal populace, the CDSU cautioned.
The Churachandpur student body then appealed all right thinking citizens of the state in general and the entire tribal populace and their existing organisations in particular to extend their supports to the ATSUM in the interest of the tribal and as a mark of solidarity. Further, the CDSU urged any sort of organisation claiming to represent the state’s tribal to refrain from intervening in the ongoing misunderstanding or paint a communal colour to serve its in own self interest.
The CDSU then conveys its gratitude to ATSUM for its recent achievement in convincing the state government to retain Alternative English (for students of tribal communities which have not yet been included in MIL in the state’s syllabus) for a minimum period of two years.
