Imphal, July 20: The All Tribal Students' Union Manipur (ATSUM) today said that the State Government, politicians, bureaucrats, civil society organisations, NGOs and individuals, who are requesting the student body to reconsider their ongoing agitation, must convince them why the Government is taking so long in preparing the rules for the Manipur Reservation of Vacancies in Posts and Services (for SC and ST) Act 2007 .
No concrete step has been shown from the side of the State Government in this regard after the Bill was introduced and passed in the State Legislative Assembly on May 19, 2007, a press release of the students body alleged.
Maintaining that 50 percent of the total seats are reserved for SCs/STs in NEHU, Mizoram University and Nagaland University with the wholehearted support from the respective State Governments and University authorities, ATSUM questioned why such reservations are not possible in Manipur University.
It further said that 80 percent of its total open seats are reserved for tribals of the State in Rajiv Gandhi University in Arunachal Pradesh.
