During November 2020, in response to the then education minister's statement of introducing [[Sanskrit]] as a subject in selected schools and colleges of [[Manipur]], there were strong criticism of the minister's plan from the sides of various social organizations. A spearheading social organization, "MEELAL" (Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup) demanded the [[Government of Manipur]] that there should be state language departments other than Directorate of Language Planning and Implementation (DLPI) and the concerned authorities should first work on the development and the promotion of [[Manipur]]'s indigenous languages and [[Meetei Mayek]] writing system before promoting other languages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Education Minister's statement on introduction of Sanskrit in select schools, colleges draws flak : 22nd nov20 ~ E-Pao!
