The organisations, agitating under the banner of Steering Committee Against Murder of Democracy, demanded DGP Anil Pradhan's removal holding the IPS official responsible for the release of a local Congress leader accused in the May 31 jailbreak.
"We do not want an agitation. The organisations are welcome to air their views and help in defusing the tension through discussion," Lapang said in an appeal to the 14-member forum of student and youth organisations.
The agitating groups alleged that at Pradhan's behest the Congress leader charged with sponsoring the May 31 jailbreak was released by police a day after he was arrested.
