Imphal, July 18 2021:
Representatives of Meetei Pangal Eegee Khongulliba Foundation Committee met titular king of Manipur Leishemba Sanajaoba and discussed issues related to strengthening the relationship between Meeteis and Meetei Pangal.
In a statement issued by its general secretary BM Abdul Majid, the committee said that the titular king assured of constructing an office building for the committee following its request.
The king also expressed desire for reviving 'Kaji Loishang' in the Sana Konung (royal palace).
Regarding the 'reconciliation meet' held at Sana Konung on July 17, the king said that the meet was organised with the objective to rejuvenate the relationship between Meetei Pangal and the Sana Konung.
He then appealed to the members of Meetei Pangal community not to get mislead by the event.
Sana Konung has been organising the meet on July 17 every year since 2019 and the incident is not related with the first settlement of Meetei Pangal in Manipur, he added.
Leishemba then urged the Meetei Pangal community to conserve and use Yumnaks (clan) assigned by former kings of Manipur stating that it will help in a great way in keeping the bond stronger.
He also extended best wishes to the community on the occasion of Eid-Ul-Adha, which falls on July 21 while urging them to observe strict SOP while celebrating the festival.
He also appealed to all to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as possible.
