Meiteis In Mizoram Get Security Cover After Ex Militants' 'Leave State' Call
NDTV
Sources in the Mizoram government have said steps have already been taken to ensure that no Meitei person is harmed.
Following a public call by former insurgents to people from the Meitei community to leave the state, the government of Mizoram has arranged for security cover for Meiteis in the capital Aizawl.
In a statement issued from Aizawl on Friday, Peace Accord MNF Returnees' Association (PAMRA) said, Meiteis should leave Mizoram for their "own safety" as there is "anger among Mizo youth" over the incident of two women being paraded naked in the neighbouring ethnic strife-torn state.
Mizo sentiments have been deeply hurt by the violence meted out to the Zo-ethnic community in Manipur, PAMRA said, adding a warning that if any violence should happen upon Meiteis in Mizoram, they themselves shall bear the responsibility.
