Lamka, September 19 2013:
As preparation for the 3rd World Zomi Convention is going on, the organising committee today said that many more VIPs and community leaders have confirmed their participation while others including the ZORO agreed to address it.
'Presidents of UNC, AMUCO and ZORO will address the convention and troupes from the Meitei Thangta dance, Meitei cultural dance, Muslim cultural dance and Naga Cultural dance will also take part in it,' said a release of the organiser.
Interestingly enough, ZORO which had earlier distanced itself from the convention has now reportedly reversed their stand.
'We have only been informed that ZORO has taken a resolution to withdraw the statement issued earlier.
But what we can definitely say is that they will also participate in the convention,' said a source.
A mass prayer which will be led by Rev Dr B Luaichinthang at Hiangtam Lamka EBC Church, and addressed by Rev Dr JL Songate based on the theme 'Be a Blessed Nation' on September 21, four days before the three-days convention begins, will be organized as part of the convention, said the organiser.
It added that Church leaders, Pastors and Elders of various denominations and other like-minded people were invited for the mass prayer as well as for the main convention.
