New Delhi: In yet another punitive action against the Manipur Students’ Association Delhi (MSAD), the BJP-led Manipur government sent a police team to Delhi late last week to take into custody two executive members of the student body.
This action by the chief minister N. Biren Singh government comes in the wake of a public statement released by the students’ body in Delhi opposing the governmentâs recent decision to introduce Sanskrit as a subject in some schools and colleges in the northeastern state.
