Imphal, September 28 2022:
As the Government has turned a deaf ear to the demand for inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the ST list, STDCM will launch stronger form of protest from the second week of October.
STDCM convenor Laishram Romesh Meetei made the remark on the sideline of a sit-in protest held at Naoremthong today demanding the inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the ST list jointly organised by STDCM and Epathoukok and Naoremthong Meira Paibi today.
He added that if the Meitei/Meetei community continue to exist without Constitutional protection, the day isn't far when the Meitei/Meetei community will vanish from the State.
Adding that inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the ST list is the only means to protect the community, Romesh Meetei said it is very unfortunate that the Government has turned a deaf ear to the demand of the people for the last 10 years.
Romesh Meetei also sought cooperation from the masses and like minded organisations in raising the rightful demand of the Meitei/Meetei.
