The Telegraph reports that a fortnight
before 669 Bru (Reang) refugees are to repatriate
from Tripura to Mizoram on April 26, the
bone of contention is the Mizo Non Governmental
Organizations (NGOs) proposal to have 1995
as the cut-off year. Political parties and
NGOs like the Young Mizo Association (YMA)
are insisting that only those refugees whose
names appear in the 1995 electoral rolls
should be allowed to return. “There will
be no violence and we will welcome those
refugees whose names are there in the 1995
rolls and their children,” former YMA president
Lalchununga said over phone from Aizawl.
“They are not our enemies after all,
but the Union Home Ministry should agree
to this cut-off date,” he added. |
