Imphal, September 08: The All Manipur Student’s Union today announced class boycott infinitely starting from tomorrow (September 9) to all schools stating that there is no value of study in the prevailing lawless situation where there no life security.

AMSU took the decision to boycott classes indefinitely thinking that it would be batter to ensure life security first in the state where there is no security for the civil populace as dead is the last, a statement issued by the AMSU signed by its general secretary, Md Alamgir expressed.

The boycott is part of the solidarity to the people agitation demanding resignation of chief minister O Ibobi, befitting punishment to the police commando personnel involved in the July 23, shooting incident, total elimination of state terrorism, repeal of AFSPA and unconditional release of the volunteers of Apunba Lup spearheading the agitations.

The class boycott stir will continue till the demands are fulfilled, the statement said citing that when there is no security for life and state actors committed in extra judicial killing, it is meaningless to go to school for study.

The prevailing situation where people are living under a government enforcing “marital law” and “dictatorship”, where people are killing by the state actors and no one could tell when will die, there is no meaning of remaining in the class. What is the value of education when people are killing whenever they like, the statement asked.

AMSU well understand the loss to be suffered by the class boycott and also the impact of bandh, blockade etc. to the people. But considering for the security of the students in particular and for the people of the state in general, the decision has been taken, said the statement appealing the parents, guardians and other to bear with the body and extend support.

In the state, in the last around 30 years, spree of killing may be by the underground or security forces are continue unchecked. Thousands of people lost their life while many more had been hurt. Government forces have killed so many people after picked up, many picked up by them were missing apart from raping, molesting many women.

The state following democracy is not like having no people government but rule by dictator by in forcing martial law. Every body who thing of the land know what the state of condition prevailing in the state.

Since the beginning of the regime of the Ibobi as chief minister of the state in 2002, in the name of counter insurgency operation, people are killing in fake encounter without a day break. The reports published in the print and electronic media had evidenced how many people have lost their life in the hand of the security forces, the statement said.
