Imphal, January 05 2022:
In continuation of the ongoing demonstrations launched by Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee Manipur (STDCM) to exert pressure on the state government for forwarding the recommendation to include Meetei/Meitei in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list of Indian Constitution, a protest demonstration was staged at Bishnupur Temporary Keithel on Wednesday.
The participants raised slogans urging the state government to forward the recommendation for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the ST List.
Some speakers also expressed resentment over statements made by some hill-based organisations against the demand of the STDCM.
Urging for harmony and unity among the hill and the valley people, they further urged for joint safeguard against outsiders and appealed to the hill people to support the demand for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the ST list.
They appealed to the state government to forward the recommendation without further delay.
