Anil Chaudhary said that several students had informed him about the prevailing situation in Manipur. He had met a few students of the Central University in Manipur and they were all hailing from Delhi. They briefed him about the situation that had prevailed between May 3 and 5 in Manipur. As many as 99 students who went to Manipur for studies do not want to go there again and the families of such students are in tension.
The DPCC leader said that such students were eagerly awaiting the government’s support over transfer to another University based in Delhi. Ethnic violence first started on May 3 when the members of the Kuki tribal community took out a protest rally in Manipur opposing the ST status to another community. In the violent incidents that followed, two women were disrobed and paraded naked on May 4 and a small video of which surfaced on social media several weeks later, triggering outrage across the country.
