Imphal, July 25 2023:
Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has announced that a public rally against narco-terrorism will be held on July 29 .
Addressing media persons at its Lamphelpat office here on Tuesday, COCOMI coordinator Jeetendra Ningomba regretted that in-spite of being well aware to everybody that the Chin-Kuki people are scheming to balkanise and incapacitate Manipur, MPs and MLAs are playing deaf and dumb to such a diabolic intention.
To make all concerned, including the international fraternity understand the crux of the problem and root cause of the current crisis, COCOMI will hold a public rally under the banner "Rally Against Chin-Kuki-Nar-co-Terrorism" on July 29, he announced.
He said that the rally will begin from Thangmeiband THAU Ground at 10 am and pass through Khoyathong, Nagamapal, Wahengbam Leikai, Keishampat, Keis-hamthong and Yaiskul and end at Hapta Kangjeibung via the Thumbuthong (bridge) .
Further informing that a meeting will be held at Hapta Kangjeibung, he appealed to all sections of the society to participate in the said rally aimed at safeguarding the territorial integrity of Manipur.
Jeetendra also affirmed that the rally will be held under all circumstances even if prohibition is imposed.
The state govern ment should also convene an assembly session immediately and take a resolution to safeguard the territorial integrity of Manipur, he demanded.
The COCOMI coordinator further stated that in-spite of prominent global figures and heads of nations de daring their stand against narco-terrorism at various platforms, yet they seem to support narco-terrorism activities in Manipur.
He also said that the proposed meeting of the government of India with the Kuki militants who are carrying out narco-terrorism in the state should not be allowed to take place at any cost.
Chipping in COCOMI media coordinator Somoren-dro Thokchom said that the incident of naked parading of two women is a disgrace to the Manipuri society and deserves condemnation in the strongest term.

However, it is notable that there were sane persons among the mob who saved the two women from being tortured or killed.
He also said that many rallies are being organised in Churachandpur town wherein the participants are openly carrying automatic firearms.
However, neither the state nor central forces are effecting any arrest contrary to Imphal where Rapid Action Force personnel make it a point to even disrupt peaceful sit-in protests.
