Imphal, March 14 2024:
Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup (MEELAL) has urged for using Meetei Mayek (MM) prominently top of banners, signboards, hoardings, pamphlets, etc., which are to be used in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
In a release, MEELAL publicity secretary Soibam Arun Meetei said if anyone is found ignoring it, they will be publicly declared as people unwilling to develop and promote Meetei Mayek.
MEELAL is in no way indulging in election related activities or supporting it, but compelled to make the appeal to promote Meetei Mayek and to protect the identity of Meetei community, it emphasised.
MEELAL rued that even though Meetei Mayek has been officially recognised by the state government, it still remains sidelined from imprinting prominently on the banners and signboards of various government and public programmes as it is used for namesake only or not at all.
Hence, it urged both government and public to use Meetei Mayek conspicuously in all their events.
