Ajin was a serving president of the All Manipur Tribal Union (AMTU) “which organization had defended the rights of the tribal people tooth and nail and it had filed a litigation to the High Court of Manipur because the Meiteis are an advanced community who have outgrown the status of ST, therefore, their demand is both legally and constitutionally not tenable,” ZSUM said in a statement.
On this day of mourning over the loss of “our great soul, we, the Zeliangrong Students’ Union Manipur and former leaders have jointly shared this painful moment together with the bereaved family members, and prayed to God Almighty to grant him eternal rest in heavenly abode.”

The ZSUM also recalled how he had served in the Zeliangrong Students’ Union Manipur (ZSUM) from 1987-1988 and made significant contributions to the Zeliangrong community. ZSUM further said Ajin’s humility and “uncountable sacrifices” rendered during his tenure as a student leader will always remain a remarkable example for “our younger generations in the days to come.”
ZSUM further said RK Ajin’s zeal to spread unity and brotherhood amongst “our community will never be forgotten even though he is no more with us here today.”
