'Will Govt ever rein in Kuki militants ?'
Source: The Sangai Express

Imphal, November 14 2026: The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has categorically asked whether the Government is determined not to ever rein in the Kuki militants.

In a press statement, COCOMI asserted that the Government has been feeding and giving a free hand to these militants.

It alleged that there are indications of the State Government acting as an agent in the Government of India's proxy war in Manipur.

It is now pertinent to ask whether the Government is asking the masses to fight the Kuki militants on their own, COCOMI said.

Even after many intellectuals and the general public have made several suggestions to contain the prolonged violence, the Government has been still appealing to the public to forward suggestions to bring an end to the violence rather than taking recourse to agitation.

Pointing out that several suggestions have already been made, the COCOMI asked what kind of suggestions the Government has been seeking.

It said that the killing of four innocent Tangkhuls at New Haven, Ukhrul district on November 13, 2026 was a result of the Government's laxity.

All the communities living in Manipur have been trapped in the Government of India's vicious proxy war and the communities have done very little to extricate themselves from this proxy war, alleged COCOMI .

Rather they seem to be beguiled by impractical dreams.

This will not bring anything good to any of the communities.

The widespread violence which broke out on May 3, 2023 has resulted in excessive devastation and the State's economy has slumped, COCOMI said.

The violence will only gratify those elements who want it to continue while the communities will harm each other and suffer complete ruination, it said.

The COCOMI reiterated that it is committed to peaceful coexistence and collective development of all communities.

COCOMI will always stand firm against all challenges to the integrity of Manipur, it added.
