Imphal, January 18 2023:
In continuation of the demand for forwarding the recommendation required for inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the Scheduled Tribes (ST) list to the centre; the Coordinating Body of Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee along with CSO representatives submitted a memorandum to Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president and Wangkhem AC MLA Keisham Meghachandra at his quarters in Babupara on Wednesday.
Accepting the memorandum, MLA Meghachandra stated that the demand made by STDCM is justified and he extends full support to the movement.
He, however, said that being the president of the state Congress party, the matter has not been discussed at the party level and as such, suggested for the state government to make the stand on the matter, as there is no other authority other than the government which can take action on
the same.
