Yugindro is incompetent to take charge as Pro VC: Aribam Syam

IMPHAL | Oct 10 : Prof. K. Yugindro is not competent to take charge as the Vice Chancellor in-charge of Manipur University, it is not appropriate to give such authority to a mentally unstable person.

Renowned filmmaker, Aribam Syam Sharma made the statement during a press conference held today at his residence located at Thangmeiband Lourung Pural Leikai, Imphal West.

He said that according to the statement of Yugindro, he gave his apology to the governor of Manipur with the explanation that the FIR lodged against students and teachers was incorrect and lodged during his mentally stressed condition. And Yugindro accepted that the answer he gave to governor was inappropriate, Syam added.

He further stated that it is inappropriate for a Pro-VC to give such false statements which might mislead the public as well as the authority. Syam questioned how a person who is mentally unstable and can even mislead the governor could be appointed for such a post. Manipur University was coming back to normalcy but with the police raid on September 20, the issue was reignited, he added.

He appealed the authority concerned to release the students and teachers immediately who are arrested under false FIR. If the students and teachers are released, normalcy will come automatically in time.
