TSA has 20 votes in the MZP-GHQ electoral roll".
10 TSA leaders from Manipur led by Houkholen Haokip, president TSA-GHQ, will visit Aizawl to take part in the MZP general election.
"Historically, Chin-Kuki-Lushai (Mizo) and Zomi have common origin, and can never be separated by anything like international boundary, state boundary, etc., as it had emotional bonding and integration as a blood brother," TSA said.
It continued, "Thadou are also known as Chin in Myanmar, Mizo in Mizoram and Kuki in other parts of North East Indian states.
This is one reason why Thadou in Manipur opposes Any Kuki Tribes (AKT) and Kuki Tribe as Kuki is a composition and conglomeration of various distinctive tribes".
During the visit, TSA leaders will meet various social and political leaders, CSOs in Aizawl, Church leaders in Mizoram and officials of Mizoram government.
It is expected that the visit of TSA leaders led by its president to Aizawl, Mizoram will strongly enhance the bonding and moral value of Thadou and Mizo community across the globe, TSA added.
