Imphal: The All Tribal Students’ Union Manipur (ATSUM) on Friday has sought an explanation from Union Home Minister Amit Shah on alleged mistreatment of tribal leaders by forcing them to remove their shoes when they went to meet him at his residence in New Delhi.
While demanding an apology from the home minister, the tribal student body also expressed shock and disappointment over the statements made by Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh and Minister Th Biswajit Singh.
“We are extremely perturbed by the chief minister’s statement defending the insult meted out to our tribal political leaders by Union Home Minister Amit Shah during their recent visit to him. Such an undemocratic Brahminical practice was a shocking disgrace that completely negates the principles of equality enshrined in our Constitution,” said ATSUM.
