It is extremely callous displayed of prejudice and the Zo-Reunification Organization, GHQs Aizawl Mizoram is deeply disappointed over the communal indiscretion of the UNC, especially as a neighbour of the Zo people-Kuki, Chin, Mizo and more importantly, as a Christian community, he said and added that compassion and hate mixed at the expense of a fellow Christian brother's death, to say the least, is most distasteful.
He continued that both the Naga peoples and Zo, who exist in present-day India and Myanmar people are victims of colonial divide and rule policy and both have expressed desire for cultural unification or political unification of their respective people.
The Zo-Reunification Organization, GHQs urged the United Naga Council to exercise proper discretion in future and show Christian charity over the death not only of the Kukis, but also any member of the human race.
