Imphal: The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) has called for a social boycott of the BJP-led government in the state, led by Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
The boycott is in response to the Manipur government’s failure to heed the demands of the general masses, including ending the conflict with the Kuki militants, fully implementing the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and convening a special assembly session to discuss the state’s integrity.
