Imphal, October 02 2022:
Pursuing its demand to enlist Meetei/Meitei in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list of Indian Constitution, the Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee of Manipur (STDCM) staged a sit in protest at Khurai Heigrumakhong, today.
The protest demonstration was staged along with Friends Union Club and Yaipha Thouni Lup.
During the sit-in, one of the protesters asked the Government to send the recommendations sought by the Centre so that Meetei/Meitei could be granted some sort of Constitutional protection.
Saying that it wasn't right for the Government to sideline the movement spearheaded by STDCM, he urged the Government to understand the sentiments of the people and send the ethnographic and socio economic report of the ethnic group at the earliest.
