COCOMI Slams President’s Rule, Urges Manipur MLAs to Resign or Act

Meitei civil society group COCOMI has slammed the ongoing President’s Rule in Manipur, saying it has failed to resolve the deepening crisis in the state. The group urged MLAs to step up—or step aside.

As violence and unrest continue in Manipur, COCOMI says President’s Rule has done little to restore normalcy. The group demands that elected representatives either take charge or resign to enable fresh elections.

By PC Bureau

The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), a key Meitei civil society group, on Wednesday expressed strong dissatisfaction with the ongoing President’s Rule in Manipur, alleging it has failed to address the “emergency situation” gripping the state.

Addressing a press conference in Imphal, COCOMI convenor Khuraijam Athouba said the imposition of President’s Rule had brought little improvement on the ground, and called on elected MLAs to either act responsibly or step down to make way for fresh elections.

“We never supported the idea of President’s Rule. When it was imposed, the public hoped the Centre would take swift and decisive steps to end the conflict. But what we are seeing is continued defiance from Kuki organisations and armed groups,” Athouba said.

He cited recent incidents, including objections to the reopening of highways and refusal by armed Kuki groups to surrender weapons despite appeals from the Governor, as signs that the emergency is being mishandled.

“The expectation was that hostile zones would be sanitised and normalcy restored within two to three months, after which the administration would return to a civilian government. That hasn’t happened,” Athouba added.

Taking aim at the state’s legislators, the COCOMI convenor criticised them for failing to form a government or provide leadership during the crisis.

“If the MLAs cannot come together to elect a leader and form a government, they should resign and allow the public to choose new representatives through fresh elections. The people of Manipur deserve action, not silence,” he said.

Athouba urged the elected representatives to act according to the will of the people instead of waiting for directions from New Delhi.

Ethnic violence has plagued Manipur since May 2023, when clashes erupted between the Meitei community in the Imphal Valley and the Kuki tribes in the surrounding hill districts. The conflict began after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was held to protest the Manipur High Court’s directive on the Meitei demand for Scheduled Tribe status.

So far, over 260 people have been killed in the violence. President’s Rule was imposed on February 13, 2025, following the resignation of Chief Minister N Biren Singh.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
