Subject: Condemnation of Online Hate Speech and Mockery Towards Pu Vungzagin Valte – An Appeal for Collective Action and Protection of Dignity.
Dear respected leaders of ZORO and MSU,
I write to you not just as a concerned member of the larger Zo community, but as someone deeply pained and outraged by the vile and dehumanizing treatment of one of our own—Pu Vungzagin Valte, the MLA of Thanlon Constituency—through circulating online content that mocks his disability and reduces his dignity to a subject of ridicule.
The video and images currently being shared and captioned by individuals from Kuki-Hmar brethren, calling him a "zombie/Zongmi" and worse, are nothing short of hate speech and ableist harassment. It does not merely insult an individual; it dishonors the entire Zo collective, especially the values of empathy, unity, and respect for the suffering and service of our leaders.
Pu Vungzagin Valte, Thanlon MLA, a man who nearly lost his life during the 2023 violence, now mocked online—his image edited, his disability turned into a meme, his pain used for "likes" and "shares."
This is not freedom of speech. It is digital violence. This is not tribal rivalry. This is inhumanity.
This is what happens when we lose all sense of compassion, when hatred takes over dignity, when trolls are louder than truth.
We DEMAND:
-Immediate condemnation from ZORO HQ and MSU Aizawl HQ.
-Public solidarity with Pu Valte—a Zo elder, a survivor, a symbol of resilience.
-Accountability for those spreading ableist hate.
**Pu Gin Valte sat in a wheelchair because his body was broken—but his spirit remains.And today, we stand not just with the man—but with everything decent and human he represents.**
Let's not let our silence be the soundtrack to this cruelty.
With deep concern and hope,
-The Youths of Eastern Zogam
