Press Release

WE CONDOLE THE DEATH OF OUR HEROES

The Mizo National Front is deeply shocked and saddened by the killing of 10 Hmar volunteers who were guarding their village, allegedly at the hands of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), an entity expected to maintain neutrality in the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of these fallen heroes and pray for their strength during this difficult time.

As the Mizo adage goes, “Dam leh tlang khatah, thih leh ruam khatah” (If we survive, we will survive together, and if we die, we will ensure no one dies alone), the MNF stands in solidarity with our people. We denounce the CRPF's actions, and their discriminatory behaviour against Mizo tribes deeply grieves us.

Instead of fostering peace and bringing the situation under control, the CRPF has exhibited bias, culminating in the extrajudicial killings of November 11. Such actions risk exacerbating the fragile situation in Manipur and undermining the CRPF’s credibility as peacekeepers.

Today, the mortal remains of these fallen heroes will be brought from Silchar to their homes in Lamka via Mizoram. The MNF General Headquarters urges all members to pay tribute as the procession passes through their villages and towns.

We commend the Central Young Mizo Association for organising a reception ceremony at Ṭhuampui, Aizawl. Leaders of the MNF General Headquarters will also attend the event.

The names of these heroes will remain etched in our hearts as long as the Mizo people exist.

We appeal to all Mizo tribes to rededicate ourselves to the cause of our nation in honour of their noble sacrifice.
