As a part of the ongoing movement for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the ST list of India, STDCM organised a one-day people’s convention in Imphal West.
The government is compelling us to adopt violent and undemocratic forms of agitations: STDCM
Demand for ST status to Meitei is legitimate and the government should consider it seriously: Schedule Tribe Demand Committee, Manipur.
The Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee of Manipur (STDCM) expressed concern that the indigenous Meetei-Meitei community, without any constitutional safeguard, has been pushed to becoming a minority in their own land.
STDCM, on behalf of the ethnic Meitei/Meetei Community of Manipur, reiterated that the community rightfully deserves Constitutional safeguards.
Considering that the Meitei community requires constitutional safeguard, WASEDEV said it will extend support to the 18-hour general strike called by STDCM from midnight of December 27.
The Meitei, Kuki, and Naga people of Manipur will have to learn to live together if not as one then at least by accepting their uniqueness, differences and nurturing respect for each other’s interests.
The Schedule Tribe Demand Committee, Manipur condemned the state government for not fulfilling the demand and staged a sit-in protest in Imphal.
The committee also appealed to the state government to send necessary recommendations to the Centre so that Meitei/ Meetei can be enlisted under the Schedule Tribe status.
