AIZAWL, Jan 2: Mizoram Home minister, R. Lalzirliana expressed his opinion that the re-unification of the ‘Mizo nation’ shall not be in the form of staying together in one compact place, but shall rather be a unification in the heart.
He said this on the occasion when he released Zoram Historical Map recently at Synod Conference Centre here in Aizawl.
R. Lalzirliana said that re-uniting the Mizos under a single administration is a very difficult job. “Such move will be as tough as fighting for independence,” the Mizoram home minister compared.
He then expressed that the best way of uniting the Mizos would be reunification in heart. He also said that if all the Zo tribes accept themselves as Mizos, the Mizo nation will be saved, but if there are people who, with a narrow minded approach, stay separated, it is detrimental for the Mizo nation.
The minister then said that even if all the Zo tribes don’t stay together under a single administration, it is important to uphold their brotherhood, and added, “It is encouraging to see that Mizo students studying in other states are upholding and promoting the Mizo culture and tradition.
