Zomi Council Steering Committee (ZCSC), an organisation advocating the cause of nine Kuki-Zomi tribes of Manipur, has accused that a press communiqué issued on August 25, 2023, by the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) and the accompanying representation to the Union Minister of Home Affairs is highly derogatory, inflated with falsified assumptions of actual facts, and anti-peace.
It stated that COCOMI «without the slightest hesitation accused the Zo people who defended their land, their dignity and their very existence under India as being indoctrinated secessionists. The same is utterly baseless; and if the same be ascertained based on recent history, the Meitei secessionist movement will only be the logical answer.
