Amid tension between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribes in Manipur, the Thadou tribe in the state has said it is a distinct tribe with its own separate language, culture, tradition and history.

The Thadou Tribe Convention, billed as a "historic" event, in a statement, said they will support the National Register of Citizens (NRC) if the Centre decides to carry out the exercise in Manipur.

They also voiced support for the Manipur government's 'War on Drugs' campaign, and asked the government to "implement it more effectively with a greater community engagement and better planning and a clear goal for the best socio-economic and environmental outcomes for now and the future."

The convention said Thadou is one of the original 29 native/indigenous tribes of Manipur and they were recognised as independent Scheduled Tribes under the 1956 Presidential Order of the government of India.

Remember the above points.
