Thousands of men and women took to the streets across all urban centres in Mizoram on July 25 to express solidarity with the violence-hit Kuki-Zo tribal people and demand the restoration of normalcy in Manipur.
Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga, his deputy Tawnluia, several Ministers, and many MLAs cutting across party lines took part in the ‘Solidarity March’ organised by the NGOs Coordination Committee (NCC) in the State’s capital Aizawl.

The participants condemned the Central and Manipur governments for the “brutal attack” on the tribal people and sexual assaults on the tribal women. Carrying placards and banners, they slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “silence” over the violence raging for 84 days and Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh for his “total failure” in dealing with the situation.
Some of the banners read: “The sufferings of tribals in Manipur are our sufferings”, “Mizoram stands with Kuki-Zo tribals in Manipur”, “Let us not go back to a barbaric era”, “Women’s bodies are not battlefields”, “Death penalty for Manipur rapists”, and “Stop killing Christians in Manipur”.
Mr. Zoramthanga said both, the governments of Manipur, and India have to try their best to find a solution to the ethnic mess in Manipur. “The wound is very deep and it will be very difficult to heal,” he cautioned.
