The tribal student body refuted that there is nothing tribal about the Meetei community in their living, custom, dialect, economic status in support of their claim.
MAHUD Minister Y Khemchand said that demanding a scheduled tribe status for Manipuri Meitei is reasonable, and it is a question of survival for the Meitei community.
STDCM urged ATSUM to withdraw their stand considering the need for constitutional protection by Meitei or Meetei to prevent the ethnic community from extinction.
The tribal community of Manipur will never accept "this devious demand" of the STDCM from being met by the government and should be prevented at all cost, ATSUM stated.
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.
