Imphal, July 24 2023:
In the wake of the 'advisory' issued by an organisation of ex-militants asking Meiteis living in Mizoram to leave the State for their own safety, the All Assam Manipuri Students' Union (AAMSU) has advised the Mizos living in the Meitei areas of Barak Valley to vacate the area at the earliest possible time.
The exodus of Meiteis from Mizoram has already begun following a warning issued by surrendered militant group PAMRA (Peace Accord MNF Returnees' Association) .
It is very regretful to learn how Mizoram (both Government and elite groups) is involved in fuelling the violence from the beginning when MZP issued a threatening notice to the Meiteis living in Mizoram on April 30, 2023 even before the Kuki narco-terrorists declared war upon native Meiteis in Manipur on May 3, 2023, said a press release issued by AAMSU.
The recovery of arms and other war materials in Mizoram by security forces meant for Kuki militants to create havoc in Manipur as well as provocative speeches against Meitei in the name of Zo solidarity says it all, AAMSU pointed out.
"As most of the Meiteis living in Mizoram happen to be from Assam, the unruly behaviour of Mizoram has already escalated anger among the Meiteis of Assam, therefore for their own safety, we advise the Mizos living in the Meitei areas of Barak Valley to vacate the area at earliest possible time", it said.
"At this crucial juncture of the Manipur turmoil, we stand in solidarity with our Meitei kins in Manipur who are being attacked by war-monger Kuki-Zo tribes.
The Meiteis in Assam would extend any possible and necessary support to our kins", AAMSU pledged.
The Government of Mizoram should stop playing double game by pretending to show concern for Meiteis on one hand and giving free hand to anti-Manipur activities in Mizoram by allowing to target the helpless Meiteis on the other hand, it added.
