Aizawl: Just a few days before the next round of talks between the Mizoram
government and Hmar People Convention-Democratic (HPC-D) which is
scheduled to be held on October 4, the state government has reiterated
that it is not possible for the government to concede to the demand of
the Hmar outfit.
“Conceding of the demand for the creation of Autonomous District Council put forth by the HPC-D is impossible,” asserted Mizoram Home minister R. Lalzirliana.
The HPC (D) has
been demanding a separate Autonomous District Council in the north
eastern part of Mizoram under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of
India and has been indulging in violent activities to press their
demands from across the Manipur border.
The peace talks between Mizoram government and HPC (D) was resumed on August 10, three years after a stalemate in 2013. Earlier, both Mizoram government and the HPC (D) had made several efforts to find an amicable solution to the Hmar political imbroglio through negotiations and the last talks held in 2013 fizzled out due to disagreement over the period of extension of Suspension of Operation (SoO).

i think it is time we show Congress government that it is history in Mizoram. Lal Thanhawla will never solve the HPC(D) issue, he will keep it pending and pending.
ReplyDeleteAny further meeting must be held on neutral ground and not in Aizawl! The HPC(D) leadership should put their acts together and show that they are also serious about peace and at the same time ready to walk the extra mile in achieving their goals. Having fought for over three decades, they should know that it cost too much for nothing.
