ZSF EXPRESSES GRIEVANCES TO GADKARI

Zomi Students' Federation Expresses Grievances to Minister Nitin Gadkari

October 30, 2024 | 🔴🟡🟢

The Zomi Students' Federation, General Headquarters, has submitted a grievances letter to Shri Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport and Highways, expressing their dismay over a recent sanction letter dated October 8, 2024. The letter announced the approval of 57 road works exclusively only for Manipur valley districts under the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF).

In their letter, the Federation emphasized the lack of institutional support and alleged discrimination by the State, which has forced hill tribal of the State to repair roads at their own expense.

The Federation highlighted in their letter that since the CRIF is funded by road cess and excise duties on diesel and petrol, the proceeds should benefit all communities across the country. The Federation criticized the recent decision, stating that it undermines the fund's purpose by neglecting essential infrastructure development in the hill districts, which are in dire need of attention.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation

REAL POLITICS A I LUT MA UH SUAHTAKNA LAMEN KEI UN !

Meiteite hi Hindu ideology pom ana tamsim un. BJP parent body RSS, Manipur branch a makai teng Meiteite ahi uh. NE a Hindutva agenda suk tangtun na dia vanzat aneih uh poimoh mahmah Meiteite ahi uh. NE a Christiante in domination aneihlouh na ding ua, avanzat theih uh Meiteite BJP in nuse mahmah lou ding uh ahi, chih theisiam kawm a politics play ngai ahi.

This is real politics. Ataktak a politics play ngai ahi. Hiai politics counter zohna dia Manipur a Zosuante local politics a kituak thei mahmah loute orgs tuamtuam te tungtawn a zoh theih hilou. 

I zohna ding taktak ua, national unity a om ngai, Zosuante pankhawm theihna. Manipur a Zosuante politics ki play lellel pen local te kia participate lou uh ahi, chih kua peuhmah in theihsiam ngai. Local level kia politics ki play hileh, Kuki kichi vek ding ihi uh.

Himahleh, tua Manipur a Zosuante lak a politics ki play pen geo-politics ahi. Inter-state, international level a participation active tak a om ahi uh, chih theihchet leh muhchet poimoh. 

Local level kia a ki play sa te kha hong vuallel ding uh ahi, ana en un.  

Meitei, Naga leh BJP Hindutva agenda te zoh theih omsun bel, i Super CM uh Lalduhoma in International Platform a agen, I vek ua Zosuan vek i hi uh, chih i pomtheih hun chiang ua, national leh international level a pankhawmna taktak omthei pan ding ahi.

To prove this point:

Kuki National Awakening Meet hon sai ua, unity hon tun zou hia en ni. Zomi National Awakening Meet hon sai ua, unity hon tun zou hia en ni. Hmar National Awakening Meet hon sai ua, unity hon tun zou hia en ni. Mizo National Awakening Meet hon sai ua, unity hon tun zou hia en ni. 

Only ZOFA/ZOSUAN ZO People National Awakening Meet in, unity hon tun zou ahi. So why not ZO UNITED, if we sincerely desire to have unity.

None of us should be against Kuki, Zomi, Hmar or Mizo. All of us should be interested only in what can really bring us unity. None of us should be interested in fake unity.

If Kuki or Zomi or Mizo can bring us national unity , we should be ready to accept. But none could. That's why we should advocate ZO.

Kuki are our blood brothers as well as Zomi, Mizo or Hmar. We should not against anyone of them.

Why all of us are eagar to participate at Zofa/Zosuan/ZO people National Awakening Meet in Aizawl. That's speak volume on what can truly unite us.That should be our point of reference. Thus, it is clear without doubt that only ZO can bring us true and real national unity. ZO = VICTORY !
