Imphal/New Delhi, July 30 2023:
Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) will or ganise a protest demonstration in New Delhi on August 6 demanding action against the Kuki militants and protest the move to divide Manipur.
Delhi Meitei Coordination Committee (DMCC) Convener Seram Rojesh and COCOMI spokesman Khu-raijam Athouba said that Indians must know that threat to Manipur integrity is against the national in terest of India and India's unity is in its diversity" .
India should stand against all forms of terrorism, be it religious or narco- terrorism.
Manipur hills can't be another Golden Triangle," Athouba said while strongly opposing the division of Manipur on ethnic lines.
Various Kuki organisa tions and ten MLAs, including seven from BJP, have been demanding separate administration (equivalent to separate state) for the Kuki communities.
The COCOMI leaders said that the Kuki militants, who are under Suspension of Operation (SoO) agreement with the government, are backing the drugs trade, and poppy cultivation.
The COCOMI also demanded to annul the SoO and to replace Assam Rifles from Indo-Myanmar Border Management with more disciplined force.
"Assam Rifles has failed to protect Manipur from cross border narco terrorist aggression.
Security forces have failed to protect the Meitei farmers from attacks of Kuki militants, " the COCOMI statement said.
The COCOMI appealed to all residents, students, professionals and others who are in Delhi to take part in the August 6 sit-in demonstration at Jan tar Mantar.
"This event would also convey the message to the Central government and all the parliamentarians to help in resolving the crisis on the basis of truth and not on vested politics.
As the nation and the world is being fed with lies, misinformation, and concocted stories, the gath ering would also expose everything to the world," the COCOMI statement said.
The Delhi Meetei Coordination Committee (DMCC) is a conglomerate of Delhi Meetei Forum (DMF), Delhi Meetei (DM), Delhi Heritage Society (DHS), International Meetei Organisation (IMO), World Meetei Council Delhi (WMC), Liklam Ngakpa Eramdam Manipur and United Kakching Students' Delhi (UNIKAS) .
These organisations re solved to work in coordination with COMCOMI and strengthen the campaign in the national capital at all front.
On the other-hand, COCOMI recalled the successful mass rally taken out by lakhs of people against Chin-Kuki narco-terrorists from Thang meiband THAU ground to Hapta Kangjeibung on Saturday and thanked all those including organisations, clubs, meira paibi, tent house associations, sound associations, government hospitals and people from different communities, who helped in making the rally successful.
