Imphal, December 02 2022:
Kumbi AC MLA Sanasam Premchandra has pledged unstinted support to the ongoing movement for enlistment of Meitei/Meetei in the Scheduled Tribe category.
A team of the Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee, Manipur (STDCM) visited the MLA at his Mongsangei residence today and submitted a memorandum.
After accepting the memorandum, Sanasam Premchandra told the STDCM team that the movement for enlisting Meitei/Meetei in the ST category is a legitimate one.
He also pledged full support and cooperation to the movement.
The MLA said that he would do everything within his capacity to see that the movement achieves its goal.
Even though Meiteis/Meeteis are a major community of Manipur which was once an independent kingdom, they are now facing a very precarious situation and there is a deep apprehension of the particular community suffering a complete downfall in the coming decades, Premchandra added.
