By NEWMAI NEWS

SHILLONG, Dec 5 - The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) has decided to stage a three-day hunger strike beginning from�December 7�in pursuit of an official resolution from the state government in the upcoming Assembly�s winter session regarding the implementation of the council�s 14-point of demands, which include ILP.

The council has also threatened to campaign against political parties which fail to reflect their seriousness on the issues related to influx in their respective manifestos in the upcoming 2018 state elections.�

The hunger strike is as a mark of protest against the Congress-led state government�s adamant attitude towards the demand for strong anti-influx laws, according to HYC general secretary Robertjune Kharjahrin.

He informed that the members of the council will gather in front of the bust of former KSU leader Bull N Lyngdoh at Dhankheti on�December 7, to observe his death anniversary, before marching towards the parking lot near the additional Secretariat, where the hunger strike is proposed to be staged.
