SILCHAR, Aug 9: North East Minority Students’ Association (NEMSA) at a press meet today has condemned the harassment, physical and mental agonies caused by different Mizo organizations like YMA, MBO and MZP to Bengali speaking people engaged in various works and business in different parts of Mizoram. In their memorandum to the Chief Minister of Assam, the Association leaders have alleged that besides causing harassment, their property are looted and even they are forced to leave Mizoram. This kind of illegal activities, according to them, have been going on for the last several days.Considering the seriousness of the matter, the Association has demanded immediate measures to stop all kinds of harassment of non-Mizo businessmen who have been living in Mizoram, ensuring their safety and security, ban the organizations like YMA, MBO and MZP who have taken law in their own hands. The Association hopes that the Government of Assam would raise the issue with Mizoram Government for initiating necessary measures to stop the illegal activities indulged in by the organizations identified. Failure to do so, the Association cautions, it might be compelled to launch mass movement in the interest of the community.
