Mizoram Home Minister R.Lalzirliana today justifies on the arrest of the HPC (D) leader H.Zosangbera. The Home Minister said that when they (Congress) formed the government, they did not regard the HPC (D) as a militant outfit; but following their split into two factions, one of the factions led by H. Zosangbera started disturbing the peace and tranquillity of Mizoram. And, as they continue disturbing the government and the people, two of their leaders Army Chief Lalropuia and Deputy Army Chief Biaknunga were arrested sometimes, the Home Minister said.  He added that, not an appeal, but a demand without a promise had been sent to the Chief Minister for the release of their leaders, but the state government would take a decision only when the HPC (D) made a promise, R. Lalzirliana said, repeating his saying of the same  on the MHIP Day, at Keifang. The Home Minister said ignoring the numerous appeals of the government for peace, the HPC-D continues with  their activities like bombing Bairabi railway, disturbance at places between Bagha and Vairengte, planting bomb in Aizawl.
