Imphal, February 18 2024:
The World Meetei Council (WMC) has invited the All Naga Students' Union Manipur (ANSAM) to discuss Meetei/Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribe status.
The invitation came a day after ANSAM submitted a memorandum to Governor Anusuiya Uikey against Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribe status.
In a social media post, WMC invited ANSAM for a discussion on the matter and said the demand for inclusion in the ST list is crucial for survival of the Meitei/Meetei community and their identity.
"...WMC is inviting ANSAM to sit across the table so that we can discuss the matter.
This is a question of the survival of Meetei identity and ANSAM cannot take it as a matter of Meetei asking for privilege or advantage at the cost of NAGA !" WMC said in the post.
It urged ANSAM to find a date convenient to both parties for the discussion.
