No Autonomous Councils for Brus: Mizoram Home minister
Aizawl, Nov 22 (PTI) Mizoram government would never accept the demand for a separate Bru Autonomous District Council, state Home Minister R Lalzirliana said here today.
Barring this, any other demands put forward by the Bru community can be solved through dialogue between the state government and the leaders of the community, Lalzirliana told reporters here.
Reacting to allegations by Delhi-based Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACRH) that the Mizoram government was behind the recent communal outburst triggered by the murder of a Mizo youth, he said ACRH officials are most welcome to come to Mizoram and see the facts by themselves.
“They should come and see the relief works being undertaken by the government, the church and the NGOs in the communal violence hit areas,” he said.
