Imphal, March 16 2024:
Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) coordinator Somorendro Thokchom has clarified that the committee is yet to join political dialogue for bringing peace and normalcy in the state as claimed by chief minister N Biren Singh.
When asked by media persons if COCOMI has any knowledge about CM N Biren Singh's claim of beginning political dialogue to bring peace in Manipur during a press conference at its Lamphelpat on Saturday, Somorendro Thokchom replied that the committee is yet to join the dialogue and is also unaware of steps taken in this regard by the government.
As for COCOMI, political dialogue is yet to begin and such dialogues requires participation of all stakeholders, he said, adding that government alone cannot hold political dialogue.
According to Somorendro Thokchom, it would be a blunder to begin political dialogue without participation of the people and political dialogue cannot begin without setting conditions.
