Imphal, July 21 2015 :
Kuki Students' Organisation-General Headquarters has deeply condoled the sudden death of ZORO President Pu Raphael Thangmawia on July 20, 2015 in Geneva.
The Chin-Kuki-Mizo people have been bereft of a great leader like Raphael Thangmawia and it will be hard for the people to find a person who can fill the shoe of a leader of his stature, a statement said on Tuesday.
"The great leader is the epitome of Chin-Kuki-Mizo people re-unification and its movement for a place in the comity of nations.
Pu R Thangmawia's lifetime work for the emancipation of the Chin-Kuki-Mizo ethnic group as a nation has inspired us and instilled the feeling of self-determination and freedom in our minds," KSO said.
His dedication and self-sacrifice in the service of his people remains etched in the mind of every person who has ever got the opportunity to know him, it stated.
"The KSO expresses deep sympathy to the bereaved family and prays they may find solace and consolation in the knowledge that the family has given us a great leader who will never be forgotten," said the statement released by KSO president Paotinthang Lupheng.
