Imphal, November 08 2020:
The Manipur Student's Association Delhi (MSAD) has conveyed solidarity to the deprived Meetei and Meitei Pangal minorities in the Barak Valley and various districts of Assam who share a common language, socio cultural norms and historical circumstances with those in Manipur.
The minority in this region particularly the Meetei and Meitei Pangal have been facing a lot of social, political and economic disadvantages and great difficulties in their struggle for survival and safeguarding themselves.
Their dignity of living on an equal footing with the majority communities in this region is at stake since they are being neglected and have been living in poverty.
The people are also losing their lands at the hands of migrant influxes from the neighbouring country, MSAD stated.
Therefore, the demand for upliftment of the Meetei and Meitei Pangal minorities is legitimate in view of the privileges granted to the similar backward communities namely Moran, Montak and Kuch Rajbhansi, it added.
MSAD appealed to the authority to look into the situation at the earliest and take favourable actions.
