Imphal, April 07 2024:
World Meetei Council (WMC) on Sunday organised a protest at Hiyanglam Mayai Leikai demanding authority concerned to submit the socio-economic arid ethnographic report of Meetei crucial for consideration of Meetei/Meitei in the ST list.
A release issued by WMC, Manipur information and publicity secretary Th Sushila Devi accused the government of attempting to divert the ST demand, by propagating issues such as NRC and boundary fencing.
Although ILP and NRC could uphold the territorial integrity of Manipur, the only way to save the indigenous Meetei community is inclusion in the ST list, it informed.
The protest was attended by WMC Manipur president Urikkhinbam Kunjo Singha and joint secretary Elangbam Brojenkumar Singh along with Hiyanglam Apunba meira paibi volunteers.
