Kangpokpi, September 24 2014:
The All Tribal Students' Union Manipur strongly condemned the statement of BM Yaima who addressed a meeting at Tera Keithel as president of UPF under the aegis of JCILPS.
'His statement is contradictory and misleading', asserted Emboi Serto, President ATSUM while referring to BM Yaima's statement appeared in front page of one of the local English dailies on September 17 which reads "Now, Non-local people when clubbed together constitute the largest community of Manipur" which clearly stated that the tribals are non-locals.
ATSUM supremo continued that in another statement BM Yaima says that the meeteis are just 47,334 more than Non-locals and in another, he said that when Non-locals are clubbed together they are the largest community in Manipur.
So, may we ask who are all the Non-locals, when clubbed together, form the largest community of the state?, asked Emboi.
ATSUM president further continued that regarding the news item which appears in page 3 of another English daily dated September 17, ATSUM is very much confused and also deeply regretted that the state government is involved on this Act of the Parliament.
