Saralnama4 months after violence erupted in Manipur, PM Modi visited the state. Khuraijam Athouba, convenor of COCOMI, shared his views on the visit. He said the PM's appeal for peace was welcome but felt hollow without addressing key issues. These include infiltration, narco-terrorism, and the destruction of Manipur's social fabric. Athouba stressed that peace must be based on truth and justice. He said the Valley people are ready for dialogue with tribes if it's honest. On development projects, he noted they need peace to succeed. Athouba rejected any demand to split Manipur, calling its unity non-negotiable. He expects the Centre to take firm steps on illegal immigrants, drug networks, and restoring law and order. (Updated 16 Sep 2025, 14:01 IST; source: link)
