China slogan in Nido backlash
- 16hr ‘curfew’ on ‘outsiders’
- Cry against discrimination grows louder
The Telegraph | Zodin Sanga / Khelen Thokchom | Aizawl/Imphal, Feb. 12:
Protests against racial discrimination and attacks on people from the Northeast in Delhi witnessed a pro-China slogan being raised in Mizoram and a “curfew” being imposed on “outsiders” in Manipur today. “Hello China”, read a placard at a demonstration staged by the Mizo Students’ Union in front of Raj Bhavan in Aizawl though Mizoram does not share a boundary with that country at all.
The protest was held against the racial discrimination meted out to northeasterners in “mainland India” and to express the feeling of alienation which is seemingly gaining ground among the people of the region. “Is Northeast a part of India?” read another banner.
