The All Assam Manipuri Students’ Union (AAMSU) issued a statement advising Mizo living in South Assam’s Barak Valley districts to leave the state.
The decision was issued after Mizoram ex-militant organization issued notice to Meitei community to leave the state till the situation the state doesn’t get normalized.
“As most of the Meiteis living in Mizoram are from Assam, the unruly behaviour of Mizoram has already escalated anger among the Meiteis of Assam. Therefore, for their own safety, we advise the Mizos living in Meitei areas of Barak Valley to vacate the area at the earliest time possible,” the statement given by AAMSU.
Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Gyanendra Pratap Singh took to twitter to share the clarification issued by the Manipuri Student’s body. “As seen in some electronic media and fb pages the recent press statement of AAMSU is misinterpreted as quit notice to Mizos from Barak Valley. AAMSU only advises the Mizo Missionaries in Meitei village to take precautions for their own safety as the act of Mizoram government has caused anger upon Manipuris in Assam. So far the Mizo missionaries have been living within the Meiteis as families and we shall continue to stay in harmony forever.”
