The Naga Council of Manipur has publicly backed the upcoming COCOMI mega rally and called for the cancellation of the State of Origin pact.
The Naga Council of Manipur issued a statement affirming its support for the COCOMI mega rally scheduled to take place in the state. The council said the rally represents a collective platform for Naga organisations to voice their concerns and aspirations.
In the same statement, the council urged the authorities to scrap the State of Origin (SoO) pact, describing it as contrary to the interests of the Naga community. It called for immediate revocation of the agreement and for dialogue on alternative arrangements.
The council’s endorsement comes as the rally gains momentum across the region, with several Naga groups preparing to participate. Officials have not yet confirmed the final itinerary or the expected turnout.
Stakeholders are watching closely to see how the demand to annul the SoO pact will influence negotiations between the state government and Naga representatives.
