Scheduled Tribes List : Sit-in-protest at Jantar mantar
Today's Sit-in-protest at Jantar mantar was to draw the attention of the national leaders especially of the Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji to our genuine demand to include the Meetei in the list of Scheduled Tribes of the Indian Constitution. To be true it's long overdue on the part of the government to include the Meetei.
As for the state government the Hon'ble CM of Manipur Shri N. Biren Singh had told to our members at his office premises on November 14 , 2022 that he had already submitted all the necessary papers including the reports etc as desired by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, New Delhi and that the "Ball is in the court of the centre".
Therefore WMC appeals earnestly to the Centre to expedite the process so that the Meetei people can live as rightful citizens in their own state of Manipur, said WMC National Spokesperson Mr. Nabakishore Yumnam, who is also the president of WMC Assam unit. While answering to questions about Kuki-Chin people, the Chairman WMC Mr. Heigrujam Nabashyam made it clear that WMC have taken up the case of Kuki-Chin people's legal maintainability even when they are migrants or children of migrants.
A memorandum was also submitted to the Hon'ble Prime Minister from the Premises of Jantar Mantar Delhi.
