IMPHAL, Nov 3 NNN : All is not well among the various hill based students’ organisations. Misunderstandings and communication gaps are the reasons for all the ails. A day after the announcement of the ‘reviving’ of the erstwhile All Tribal Students’ Union Manipur (ATSUM) by the Joint Committee of Hill Districts Students Organisations (JCHDSO), the Kuki Students Organisation, General Headquarters (KSO-GHQ) has said it will not accept such move of the JCHDSO. The apex Kuki students’ body’s logic being that All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM) and the KSO-GHQ are the main constituent units of ATSUM and without their involvement and consent reviving or formation of the apex tribal students’ body is ridiculous. “The supposed formaion (revivival) of the All Tribal Students’ Union, Manipur (ATSUM) under the auspice of some hill district students’ bodies as ‘unacceptable’ and ‘invalid’. It is true that ATSUM has been defunct for the last three years. However, its two main constituent units, the KSO and All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM) have been working hard for the reinstatement of ATSUM to its former glory. To this end, exhaustive meetings and consultations were being held by Naga and Kuki students’ leaders. As such it is a matter of time that ATSUM becomes fully functional again. But this reported formation of ATSUM by Joint Committee of Hill Districts Students Organisations (JCHDSO) in the meantime, came as a shocker to the KSO.
