Imphal, December 18 2023:
Political activist Maheswar Thounaojam showcased documents and videos which exemplify that the Kukis in Manipur should not be given ST status in front of media influencers on Monday.
During the interaction with prominent media influencers in New Delhi, Maheswar said the Kukis being illegal immigrants should not get ST status and it is very clear that they have wrongly utilised constitutinal rights by enjoying ST status of the country.
Complaints being lodged by the Kukis at different institutions of the country that Meeteis oppressed them in the ongoing violence in Manipur are baseless and malicious, he said and strongly called for removing ST status from the Kukis who are playing the victim card.
Notably, Maheswar had met Union tribal affairs minister Arjun Munda recently and apprised the minister that Kukis have no right to get ST status.
