Imphal, December 11 2010:
Non-violent agitation of fasting being staged by members of the DPC Successful Candidates For Primary Teachers/HMT/HGT 2006 at Singjamei Parking demanding either removal of Education Minister L Jayantakumar from the SPF Ministry or issuance of offer forms has completed two days today.
Taking strong exception to the alleged act of the Education Minister withholding results of the DPC, the association launched the fast unto death stir since yesterday.
The protesters have been demanding offer forms failing which the Education Minister should be removed from the Council of Ministers.
With the fast completing two days, health condition of some protesters have deteriorated, informed the association's publicity secretary.
Even as the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act has been implemented all over the country to give education to all children, there is no sign of implementing the same Act in Manipur, the association observed.
It went to ask whether the Government is working to sustain Government schools or scheming to abolish them.
