Assam: RSS-affiliate demands removal of Christians from ST list 

Guwahati, February 08, 2023 (PPI-OT):Ahead of the assembly elections in Christian-majority Meghalaya and Nagaland, an RSS-backed organisation called Janajati Dharma-Sanskriti Suraksha Manch (JDSSM) has decided to intensify its agitation demanding to delist tribals who have undergone a religious conversion from the Schedule Tribe (ST) status that entitles them for reservation in jobs. The JDSSM has announced to hold a demonstration at Janata Bhawan (General Administration Secretariat) on February 12 under its “Challo Dispur” programme to press for its demand.

Meghalaya and Nagaland are two Christian majority Indian states that will go for assembly elections on February 27, 2023. In March, the organisation is also planning to storm the Parliament in New Delhi in support of its demand.
