He further said that people must be physically fit in order to survive and urged the young people to work hard in their studies while showing patriotism and helping Mizoram.

''Additionally, he stated that although we all have various blood ties and reside in different regions, Mizo, Kuki, and Chin people are the same,'' he added.

He further said that he could not turn away from them since their mental sickness is the same as our mental disease and their pain is the same as our suffering.
