Mizoram Assembly Adopts Resolution Opposing Bid To Fence Indo-Myanmar Border

The resolution, moved by Home Minister K. Sapdanga, urged the Centre not to construct a fence along the Indo-Myanmar border and scrap the FMR.

It urged the Narendra Modi government to instead take steps to ensure that the Zo ethnic people are unified under one administrative unit.

While moving the resolution, the Home Minister said that the Zo ethnic people were geographically divided when the British occupied and separated Myanmar from India.

“The Zo ethnic people can’t accept the Indo-Myanmar border, which was imposed on them by the British. They have been dreaming of reuniting under one administrative unit one day,” K. Sapdanga said.
