New Delhi: A Rajya Sabha member from the Mizo National Front (MNF) said on Tuesday that it will “not go down well” in Mizoram if the Central government insists on deporting the nearly 400 people who have fled Myanmar after the military coup in that country.
The Hindu, K. Vanlalvena accused the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of “doublespeak”. He said even as Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga was “assured recently” that no one will be deported, the MHA had sent a letter to the state governments of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Mizoram â they share a border with Myanmar â asking them to identify and deport people fleeing the coup.
Rajya Sabha MP from Mizoram K. Vanlalvena said that in the wake of Junta talking over the government in Myanmar and the protests, large numbers of people have taken refuge in Mizoram. He said that the centre should expeditiously act to assist the state government in the refugee crisis.
