AIZAWL, Dec 14 NNN: As there have been erratic power supply continues in Mizoram, the Mizo National Front (MNF) youths have no other option but to criticise Mizoram chief minister Lal Thanhawla in a peculiar manner.
Candles named after the chief minister christened as “Hawla Current” were distributed to the people by the MNF youths on Thursday in front of Vanapa Hall in Aizawl.
“Hawla’ is a shorter name for Lal Thanhawla popularly called by the Mizos.
The leaders of MNF youths held its last meeting for the year at Mizo Hnam Rûn, in which they declared ‘Rescuing Zoram’ as their yearly theme for 2013.
The MNF youths meeting was attended by the party president and former chief minister Zoramthanga.
The MNF president in his speech said that the MNF youths who uphold the theme ‘For God and for our land” cannot behave like others, adding, “May be the Congress party people (of Mizoram) celebrates puja, which is what they ought to do. But for MNF there are things which are not nice and ought not to do. Since we are those who uphold the principles of the Mizo nation, as such we shall avoid which are not nice for a Christian and a Mizo to do”.
Given that there is acute disruption of power supply these days in the State, the MNF youths distributed candles which they called ‘Hawla current’.
MNF youth wing president, P.C Laltlansanga, who spoke before distributing candles, said, “During the 10 years’ rule of MNF, there had been winter too, and the vais (non-Mizos) had also celebrated puja every year but never was so much electricity problem as it happens now during the Congress government. P.C Laltlansanga also said that whenever the Congress comes to rule, there is a shortage odf LPG supply as well as the erratic electricity supply, adding, “Since they are very much annoyed with the power supply provided on alternative manner, we have to disdribute the candles.”
