Mizos Harassing Non-Mizos in Mizoram?

Discrimination-and-Harassment mizoramSilchar, Aug 10 : North East Minority Students’ Association (NEMSA) at a press meet today has condemned the harassment, physical and mental agonies caused by different Mizo organizations like YMA, MBO and MZP to Bengali speaking people engaged in various works and business in different parts of Mizoram.

In their memorandum to the Chief Minister of Assam, the Association leaders have alleged that besides causing harassment, their property are looted and even they are forced to leave Mizoram.

This kind of illegal activities, according to them, have been going on for the last several days.

Considering the seriousness of the matter, the Association has demanded immediate measures to stop all kinds of harassment of non-Mizo businessmen who have been living in Mizoram, ensuring their safety and security, ban the organizations like YMA, MBO and MZP who have taken law in their own hands.

The Association hopes that the Government of Assam would raise the issue with Mizoram Government for initiating necessary measures to stop the illegal activities indulged in by the organizations identified.

Failure to do so, the Association  cautions, it might be compelled to launch mass movement in the interest of the community.

What is the exact problem? If Non-Mizos who are staying in Mizoram without permission/pass are asked to quit Mizoram; there`s nothing wrong.

I think the initiatives taken by the NGOs of Mizoram were at par with the existing rules and regulations of the state. Infact the NGOs like Young Mizo Assoctiation etc were not taking this issue as a matter of discrimination or harassment as they conveyed a message of quit Mizoram only to those who were practising illegal business or business without permission. It has been noticed for quite a long time that many of the Non-Mizos (non tribal) were seen entering the state without possessing the required inner line permit and more so involved in many business under the name of some Mizos. And this charge of looting of non Mizos' properties were baseless according to the records of the lawkeepers. Many non tribals were still doing business but legally and these actions of the NGOs were quite a relief for them as well as the whole state, tribals and non tribals.
