The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has conveyed heartfelt condolence on the demise of Poirei Leimarol Meira Paibi Apunba Manipur president Longjam Memchoubi.
Ima Memchoubi was an eminent Meira Paibi leader who took pro-active and vanguard roles in many people's struggles, said a press release issued by COCOMI.
She took a pivotal role in the people's struggle of June, 2021 to protect the integrity of Manipur.
After Ima Kombi's demise, Longjam Memchoubi took over the leadership of Poirei Leimarol Meira Paibi Apunba Manipur from 2004 .
Ima Memchoubi was there in the forefront in many issues of the State.
She fought relentlessly and fearlessly against the State repression and oppression of the public including killing of innocent people by the Indian Army and State forces under the impunity provided by Armed Forces Special Powers Act, it said.
She was also one prominent woman activist who fought fiercely for the rights and dignity of women, COCOMI said.
Ima Memchoubi took pivotal roles in the people's sustained movement for Inner Line Permit System and against the Citizenship Amendment Bill, it said.
Despite her advanced age, Ima Memchoubi went to different places in the midst of the Chin-Kuki narco-terrorists' aggression and raised a strong voice against the demand for separate administration, COCOMI continued.
Saying that the demise of Ima Memchoubi is a big loss for the society, COCOMI prayed that the departed soul may rest in eternal peace in the Heavenly abode.
