Mizo CM sticks to his stand on racism remarks

Aizawl, July 10 (PTI) Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla today said that he stood ‘firm’ on the remarks on racism he recently made at the International Water Resource Week in Singapore. “If someone distorted and misreported my remarks, it is upto them to do so in order to defame and malign me, but I stand firm on what I said,” Thanhawla said in an official statement. The Chief Minister said that his remarks on racism had positive reaction in the country.

“I am extremely happy that our leaders here supported my statement.”


Media reports from Singapore quoted Thanhawla as saying that he had faced racism in India, but an official statement issued by the Resident Commissioner of Mizoram House in New Delhi on June 26 said that the Chief Minister was misquoted by the media. - [PTI]

===========================

Good, absolutely right! We salute you in the highest term for your bold remarks. Let the coward who hide their feelings speaks out the truth like you.

See, how the Indians attacked in Australia was widely spread. Why not, we the Northeasterners? We are a part and parcel of India.

We, the Northeast suffered all kinds of hatred and harassments in Delhi & its NCR cities.

I lived in Gurgaon since two years. I have been battling my life everyday.
We are helpless!
