Mizoram Youth Congress accuses Assam CM of inciting people through Twitter feed

AIZAWL: Amid the ongoing tensions at the border, the Mizoram Youth Congress has accused Assam chief minister Himanta Biswas for "inciting tensions against neighbouring states."

The MPYCC also accused Assam Chief Minister of inciting the people of Assam through his Twitter feeds.

The Mizoram Pradesh Youth Congress Committee (MPYCC) has issued a statement where they offered their deepest condolences to the bereaved families of the 6 Assam policemen who lost their lives during Monday’s clash inside Mizoram.

At the same time, the party blamed the loss of lives on the actions of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswas Sarma, "who ordered more than 200 armed Assam police to enter Mizoram and forcibly overrunning the police outpost at the border town of Vairengte."

"The MPYCC strongly condemns Assam police for opening fire against the unarmed Mizo civilians and clearly stated that Mizoram police only retaliated Assam’s aggressive action in a bid to protect the Mizo civilians," the statement said.

Condemning the Assam Government for having disputes with all its bordering states, the Mizoram Youth Congress called on these states for a dialogue on a common platform to solve the inter-state boundary disputes at the earliest.

MPYCC also urges the various states whose boundaries are constantly infringed upon by the Assam Government to unite together, and stand united against the increasing use of force by the Assam Government, it added.

The Mizoram Youth Congress in its release also claimed that NEDA is formed not for the development and unity of the North-Eastern states but merely as a "political arrangement for BJP to grab power in North East by all means."

Praising the bravery of the Mizoram Police as well as the people of the bordering town of Vairengte, the Mizoram Youth Congress urged every resident of Mizoram to "show solidarity against the illegally and barbaric intrusion by the Assam Government."
