The Manipuri Meitei-Pangal Social Unification and Upliftment Organisation (MMSUUO) has strongly condemned the “communal remarks made by a few individuals with vested interest”. It expressed extended support to the demands of the Meetei-Pangal Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee (MPSTDC).
The MMSUUO stated in a release, “The organisation strongly condemned the baseless communal statements made by vested interest individuals which are meant to provoke and marginalise the Meitei-Pangal community.”
It expressed support to the demands of the MPSTDC, adding that the demand for the inclusion of the Meitei-Pangal community in the Scheduled tribe is a just cause.
It also accused the “vested interests” of distorting historical facts and stating skewed statements which they said are based solely on “biased opinions”.
