Imphal, September 18 2022:
All Manipur Muslim Students' Organisation (AMMSO) in association with MUMWA MU, PSU DMU, MSU DM Arts, PSU DM Science and APSU Thoubal district organised a protest demonstration at Mayang Imphal Bengoon Higher Secondary School on Saturday demanding reservation for Meetei Pangal students in higher education.
According to a statement of AMMSO, Meetei Pangals were assured 4 per cent reservation in government jobs and professional courses as per an agreement signed between the state government and AMMSO on September 27, 2006.Unfortunately, the government has not been providing reservation for Meetei Pangal students in higher education, which AMMSO sees as an act of suppressing the minority community.
Demanding early implementation of reservation of seat for the community, the organisation informed that it will continue to organise a series of agitation until their demand is met.
