Imphal, May 20 2016 :
The Coordinating Body Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee (CBSTDC), Manipur has said that it will conduct the people's convention on ST demand at Iboyaima Shumang Leela Shanglen on May 22 as announced earlier.
In a statement, the committee said that they earlier planned to stage a mass rally on the same issue on May 22 .
However, they postponed the rally indefinitely in view of the present condition due to the people's agitation on ILPS demand.
It is unfortunate that an organisation has decided to impose a bandh on May 22 although CBSTDC had already announced that a public convention would be held on the day, the statement said.
The public convention would be held as announced earlier, the committee said and urged the public, local club and organisation members and meira paibees to attend the convention without any fear.
The committee also urged all the organisations not to clamp any bandh or general strike on the day.
It further said that the bandh supporters must be held responsible for any eventuality if any untoward incident happens due to any bandh or general strike on the day.
