IMPHAL, April 26: The All Manipur Students`™ Union (AMSU) has today assured that it would endorse all the genuine movement spearheaded by the JAC All Manipur Hill District Contract Basis Teacher`™s Association with regards to its demands.
A statement issued by Surbala, information and publicity secretary AMSU, said that the indifferent attitude of the State government even as the issue has entered into a deadlock is a total disregard to the teachers`™ community.
From a simple teacher`™s agitation the movement has gain substantial momentum including boycotting of national projects followed by imposition of general strike on April 27 and yet it is far from over, it said.
No doubt, it is only the daily wage earners and students`™ community who are going to bear the direct brunt of such agitation, it continued.
In an age wherein development of human resources is considered to be priority, keeping the contract teachers who were recruited in the year 2006 in a state of oblivion not only reflects the incompetency of the government but at the same time it is also unfortunate, it claimed.
