Imphal, August 29 2021: The Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee, Manipur (STDCM) has once again urged the State Government to send a recommendation for including Meetei/Meitei in the ST list to the Centre.

Addressing the media at Ima Khunthokhanbi Sanglen at Thangmeiband, STDCM general secretary K Bhogendrajit stated that the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, GoI had sent modalities for recognising Meetei/Meitei as Scheduled Tribe to the State Government and STDCM on August 26, 2021 .

He further said that a recommendation from the State Government is necessary to discuss the proposal for granting ST status to the Meetei/Meitei.

The communication from the Ministry of Tribal Affairs was sent as a response to the memorandum submitted by STDCM to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on December 27, 2020, Bhogendrajit maintained.

STDCM raises ST demand call again State Govt urged to send recommendation

Saying that Meetei/Meitei, being excluded from the ST list is in the condition of becoming homeless in its own land as the ethnic group can settle only in the valley of Manipur as per law, the STDCM general secretary opined that a Constitutional safeguard to all ethnic groups of Manipur is necessary to strengthen the emotional ties among the people.

He further stated that the Meetei/Meitei will easily be granted ST status if the State sends the requisite recommendation as the ethic group fulfils all the criteria.

Urging all to acknowledge the inconvenience being faced by Meitei/Meetei due to non-inclusion in the ST list, Bhogendrajit asked all concerned to send the recommendation at the earliest.
