Imphal, December 03 2022:
As part of the ongoing agitation to exert pressure on the state government for sending the requisite recommendation to the Centre for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the ST list of Indian Constitution, representatives of different organisations belonging to Coordinating Body of Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee, Manipur (STDCM) stormed the official residence of Hiyanglam MLA Dr Radheshyam and submitted a memorandum on Saturday.
After receiving the memorandum, MLA Radheshyam thanked STDCM for making him join the agitation for inclusion of Meetei in the ST list of Indian Constitution.
He said that no one will come to save the Meetei community other than people of the community themselves and there is possibility of the community reducing to minority if there is no constitutional safeguard.
He also expressed hope that agitation launched by STDCM would succeed with the joining of around 30 different organisations and assured of extending moral and physical support to the demand for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the ST list of Indian Constitution.
