COCOMI coordinator raises alarm over disunity in Manipur
Thokchom Somorendro, coordinator of the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), has voiced grave concerns about the prevailing situation in Manipur. “There is no unity, only shortsightedness. There is no understanding of what is really going on. We need a diverse strategy to address the issues,” he stated.
Somorendro criticized the lack of cohesion among the Meitei community, contrasting it with the apparent unity among the Kuki community. “For the Kukis, both their MLAs and organizations work together. We are not doing the same,” he observed. Highlighting the internal divisions, he said, “In every constituency, people are split into two camps—pro-MLA and anti-MLA. There is no sense of patriotism for Manipur anymore; everyone is focused on their personal gains.”
