Lamka, July 04 2013:
The Hmar Students Association (HSA) Ghqs and Zomi Students Federation (ZSF) Ghq said today that they would hold a peaceful rally tomorrow to drive home their protest to the raid conducted by security forces at the residence of ZRO President early yesterday and to demand that the Government immediately holds political dialogue with the SoO groups.
The rally organisers said they were surprised, also annoyed, that security forces stormed the residence of ZRO President who is also the incumbent general secretary of the UPF despite the standing SoO agreement.
Their rally, they added, is meant to protest the wayward conduct of security forces as well as the delay in initiating political dialogue with the SoO group, in which the UPF is a party.
"We want the government to sensibly honour the SoO terms and without any further delay invite the signatory groups for dialogue,' said Kapkhanmuan, President of the ZSF.
