The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has urged 26 MLAs of Manipur, including the Speaker, to call for a special assembly session om the present crisis and send its resolution to the central government in order to bring normalcy in Manipur.
After a nine-member team of the committee met the Speaker, along with ministers and MLAs, on Monday committee, coordinator Jeetendra Ningomba told the media at its office at Lamphel, Imphal West, that the present crisis is triggered by Chin-Kuki narco-terrorists.
He demanded the people’s representatives to take the state Cabinet’s decision of withdrawal of SoO with Kuki groups in the Assembly as another resolution. These resolutions should be sent to the central government, he reiterated.
He said the government should stop playing the system of divide and rule policy in the state and should work for one Manipur.
Various people staying in the peripheral area are not satisfied with the policy on removal of illegal bunkers at peripheral area which is not carried out in the hills, said the coordinator.
The special Assembly session should also take a resolution against the demand for a Separate Administration in the state, Jeetendra said.
He said COCOMI condemned the killing of a Maring woman, Lucy at Keibi Heikakmapal on Saturday.
Such a situation will create disrespect among the indigenous people of Manipur, he added.
COCOMI is organising a public meeting at Khwairamband Ima Keithel on July 21 to discuss the steps to be taken on the present situation, the coordinator said and appealed to people to take part in the gathering.
