Two minutes of silence was also observed and a blood donation camp was also held at the ground in connection with the observance.

Speaking in the programme Sunil Karam recalled how the two martyrs lost their lives preventing the motherland from the non- locals and the role of AMSU in the movement. He stated that the mainland India has been trying to take in India. Later he commented on how illegal migrants have illegitimately entered the country and started living all these years easily such sensitive matters should be studied and discuss thoroughly. It is the time one should not wait but the entire indigenous should start researching more on this issue. He appeal to the people of Manipur stop becoming like puppets in the hands of dirty politics. Their recent announcement on Citizenship Amendment Bill which will be pass in the coming months certainly proof that they are playing with people’s emotion and not considering the interest of the north eastern states. 

We the Manipuri’s should not forget our goal, our identity towards our being. They with their manipulative ways always play with us. Their this double face nature is destroying the people and campaigning during this Lok Sabha Elections they have used certain words like ‘asylum’ in some of their manifesto which is not agreeable at any cost. One should ask how and when such words coming in.

Lastly he stated that many protest are hampering all our students, taking example on Robin Hood and how his friends and supporters land up revolting. Once if such sensitive issues are settled only then students can study peacefully.
