Imphal, August 01: Responding to the call of AMSU, MSF and DESAM to counter the communal politics allegedly being played by the Government of India among the people of the North Eastern States, many young students came out of their classrooms and staged sit-in-protest demonstrations in front of their respective schools today.

Braving the hot summer sun, a large number of students took part in the protest demonstration which was held from 10 am till 4 pm.

The young demonstrators held placards and shouted slogans denouncing the 'divide and rule policy' and cried for a conducive atmosphere of peace and harmony in which they could live and learn.

As announced by the three student bodies earlier on July 30, such protest demonstration would continue for the next three days.

Students from primary to the University level would be taking part in the demonstration to be held in a phase-wise manner.
