IMPHAL, June 18: The Democratic Students`™ Alliance of Manipur, DESAM, strongly condemning the arrest of its members including its president by the police yesterday on the charge of assaulting a teacher has urged the government to release the 16 arrested members within 24 hours.

In case the government fails to do this within the stipulated time, it warned it is making preparations to take the matter up in its own way.

A statement issued by DESAM`™s publicity and propaganda secretary, Premchand Tongbram, stated that the government should take full responsibility of any unwanted outcome arising out of any DESAM reaction.

DESAM is one of the bodies that revere and honour the contribution of teachers, it said adding that it appealed to the teachers community not to misinterpret its action.

Even as DESAM will continue to work with the teacher community, it however will not tolerate any misbehaviour on the part of the teachers, it continued.

It further questioned why the police had failed to arrest the guilty teacher who had infringed the right to education by terrorising a student when a `suo motto`™ case was lodged against its members for assaulting the guilty teacher?

There have been instances of serious violation of rights including Right to Education and Right to Life, in the heart of Imphal that never saw justice, it said, asking what the law makers were doing back then.

It asked the police department and state government to clarify whether the law of the land is applicable to only few sections of the society.

Remanding all the arrested members to further police custody despite the fact that some of the members were not involved in the incident clearly indicate the negative intent of the authorities concerned towards DESAM, it held.

Urging that the guilty teacher who had badly assaulted a student should be terminated and punish as per the law, it call on the students community to steadfastly stand against any infringement on the rights of the students especially the Right to Education.

It further divulged that it had alerted all its units in different districts and blocks to respond against government`™s negative attitude. Nevertheless, DESAM will continue its usual activities, it concluded.

LAMKA, June 17: Things will take a positive turn in a couple of days, Langkhanpau Guite leader of the newly formed Hill People Alliance said regarding the formation of the District Council Churachandpur.

In all 17 independent candidates who were elected in the recent ADC election had decided to float the new alliance just a couple of days ago.

In an informal chat with media persons yesterday, Guite said something will materialise regarding the ADC Churachandpur formation in the next couple of days.

He said Lalhosan of Tipaimukh has been appointed the vice president of the alliance through secret ballot yesterday morning.

Guite who was flanked by the secretary of the alliance Genneikhup said HPA is not a political party but an `alliance of the willing and like-minded successful members`

The alliance has the 17 elected Independent candidates as members and signatory of a promise to work for the cause of the hill people, he said.

Guite also said anyone from any political party is also welcome into the alliance as long as they will support the inspiration of the people.

He said the alliance will work for the causes of the people and development.

It may be mentioned that although June 17 was the last date for the formation of the new DCCs, due to certain issues, the government has delayed the formation of the councils.

Meanwhile, the two elected leaders also expressed happiness over the extension of the Suspension of Operation between the UPF and the government and said the extension is a positive step and will inspire the Alliance to work in the interest of the people of the hills in general and the district in particular.

Replying to a query, Guite said it is not surprising that his opponent could garner only two votes.

He said people of his constituency had promised to reward him for his good works.

The result was also evident as the opponent had no polling agent nor any supporter, he continued.
