MUSU responds to KYKL's statement-I
Source: The Sangai Express

Imphal, June 02 2009: Responding to the statement issued by the KYKL in connection with the assassination of Prof Islamuddin, the Manipur University Students' Union has asserted that though the outfit gave a detailed account with respect to the election of MUSU, the statement nevertheless implied that whatever the KYKL thinks right should be implemented.

Moreover the statement also carried a hint of communal divide.

In a statement issued to the press, the student body said that the stand of the KYKL that unwanted elements can be changed in a democracy has already been demonstrated two years back.

However since the unwanted elements had taken deep roots and could not be totally uprooted, today the adverse and alarming impact is being felt in Manipur University, said MUSU.

Forcefully imposing one's view and aspirations on others can happen only in a lawless society and not in any other sane society, asserted MUSU.

Speaking on the responsibilities of the Dean of Students' Welfare, MUSU said it includes issuing Identity cards as well as preparing the voters' list and handing them over to the Election Committee.

MUSU agreed with the statement that issuance of ID card to PG students stopped from March 9 this year while research students were issued their ID cards till April 4.The stopping of issuing ID cards 35 days before the election of MUSU was a correct decision, said the student body and added that the ID card however should not be seen as merely being issued for the election.

Posing a question, MUSU asked whether the outfit did not know that there have been times earlier, the ID cards of MU students were not issued even on the day the election notification of MUSU was announced.

Explaining, MUSU said that earlier the ID cards of the students were issued once a year, but once MU adopted the semester system, ID cards were issued twice a year, that is one in each semester.

As such the ID card issued by MU is valid for a period of six months only.

The Dean of Students' Welfare had issued notification thrice to PG students to get their ID cards prepared for the current semester, MUSU claimed and added that the same was also notified to the Heads of Departments.

The last date of March 9 given by the Dean for issuance of ID card was at the fag end of the semester (one month left), said MUSU.

The examination date set for May 19 proves this, said the statement.

After March 9 only 13 students who had not received their ID cards submitted formal applications to the Registrar of MU Prof N Lokendra, said MUSU and added that other than this no formal application in connection with issuing ID cards were received by the Dean or other authority concerned.

Just as KYKL works under a certain set of rules and regulations so do MUSU said the student body and added that the onus of formulating or amending the rules and regulations rest with MU authority.

The rules and regulations of MU cannot be changed through the verbal campaign or use of force, said MUSU maintaining that this is not allowed by law.

Moreover if 50 or 100 students say something contrary to what the 13 students want, then how will MU function, it countered.

In a democracy majority counts, said MUSU and added that if the majority of MU students had not received their ID cards by March 9, then the matter may be different.

That the KYKL, which has taken up a cause for the people, should take up the issue on behalf of just 13 students of overstepping things, it added.

Explaining why research scholars were given time till April 4 to receive their ID cards, MUSU said that this was because the list of research scholar was received late at the office of the Dean.

Moreover there were also cases of some research scholars seeking extension as well as cases of re-registration.

MUSU further said that when the members entered the fray, they were not intimated through any medium that the election process was wrong and hence they cannot contest the election.

Asserting that the MUSU members entered the fray without any agenda to do wrong, the statement said that it was for this very reason why a large number of students supported their candidacy and why no one contested against them.

Ever since the MUSU members assumed charge and occupied the Students' Home, the VC, the Registrar and others acting at the instigations of some elements tried their best to wipe out MUSU.

In the end they managed to prevail upon the Chancellor of MU PN Srivastava to derecognise MUSU.

As such some key officials of MU may face legal notices, it added.

MUSU will not rest until the obstacles placed before it is removed, declared the student body.

The killing of Prof Islamuddin on the campus of MU on May 25 has drawn widespread criticism, said MUSU and added that the cries of condemnation is not merely a voice of protest against the killing of someone.

The explanations and justifications issued by the KYKL has only goaded the people to raise more questions over the killing, MUSU observed.

MUSU was also one amongst the many voices of protest raised against the killing, said the student body and noted that the protest led to the student body being dubbed as a member of the clique and those who claim to be members of MUSU as also guilty.

The KYKL had maintained that students who mocked at them as well as raised questions not related to the outfit are also guilty, said MUSU referring to the statement of the outfit and added that this has come as a surprise to them.

Giving its stand, MUSU said that just as the KYKL claims itself to be KYKL, there is nothing wrong in MUSU claiming to be MUSU.

On the contention of the KYKL that there is no reason not to dub MUSU as members of the clique, the student body said that the blame will not stick as the MUSU is still alive and active.

It went on to say that KYKL ought to first explain what clique means.

No imaginary line should be drawn to connect MUSU to the clique, it maintained.

Though KYKL did not specifically name MUSU as mocking them and raising irrelevant questions, the statement said that since the student body had asked certain questions, it feels obligated to put its views across.
