KSU extends full support to Mizo people over clash incident
The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) expressed its solidarity with the Mizo people, who are suffering due to the recent clashes along the border of Mizoram-Assam.
“The KSU extends its full support to the Mizo people and especially the Mizo Zirlai Pawl, who are associates in the North East Students’ Organization,” KSU general secretary, Donald V Thabah said in a letter to MZP president, Pu VL Tana on Monday.
He said the KSU hopes that no matter what it takes, Mizos will defend their territory tooth and nail so as to protect their land and borders for the overall well being of their people.
Thabah also assured that the KSU will always stands with their indigenous brethens who are bearing the brunt of illegal immigration like the Mizos, Assamese, Garos, Karbis, Bodos and Tripuris.
As per the media reports, illegal immigrants mostly Bengalis came in droves armed with machetes, logs, iron rods, etc from Assam, crossed over to Mizoram side and started assaulting Mizo villagers without any provocation.
“Such is the mentality of the illegal immigrants that their objective is to forcibly snatch away tribal lands in Mizoram and other NE states including Meghalaya,” the KSU leader said.
In Meghalaya, he said the movement against influx has been going on for 4 decades since the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 which brought a huge number of refugees and opportunist migrants into the state rendering the indigenous Khasi as minorities in Shillong city. This led to a series of agitations whereby countless lost their precious lives.
