Imphal, February 04 2023:
Tulihal Idiqah Youth Development Organisation has sought the attention of the State Government to support the demand of inclusion of Meitei Pangals in the Scheduled Tribe list of the Indian Constitution.
The above appeal was made by the organisation president Abdul Malik Meraimayum while speaking a sit-in staged at Yairipok Tulihal yesterday as a part of the ongoing activities of Meitei Pangal Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee (MPSTDC) to actualise the demand of inclusion of Meitei Pangals in the ST list.
He further stated that demand of the Meitei Pangals is a genuine one since Meitei Pangals belong to the oppressed and vulnerable minority communities and to protect their identity by providing needed support is a must.
Slogans such as 'Raise the demand of MPSTDC in the Assembly session', 'Recommendations of Meitei Pangal in ST list should be sent', 'Demand of Meitei Pangals should not be diverted', etc.
