Imphal, July 19 2009:
Maring Marnorap, Imphal sought clarification and apology from the Tribal Students Union of DM College of Arts regarding an alleged wrong caption in one of the photographs of their calendar.
Maring Marnorap in a press release said that the caption 'Khoibu' with the photograph of traditional dress of Maring tribe is an insult to the community.
It further said that there is no scheduled tribe called Khoibu in Manipur, recognised by the Constitution of India.
Khoibu is a name of a Maring village located in the east of Chandel district, the press release added.
Agitation would be staged if the calendar is not withdrawn by the concerned persons, it cautioned.
