PRESS COMMUNIQUE
September 14, 2008

The immediate horrifying incident executed by some miscreant or
should we say – "Mel thei lou pawlte" (As the local media of
Churachandpur called them) at the residence of Pu T. Hangkhanpao,
President United Zou Organisation (UZO), General Head Quarters at
Nehru Marg, Churachandpur on the fateful September 14, 2008 morning
at around 5.30 AM is a real shock for the Zou community as well as
public of not only Manipur but the whole world.

The perpetrator( s) of such extreme adversity by hurling a Chinese
made hand-grenade at the residence of a community leader. No doubt
reflexes the degree of dispersion and also an act of cowardice. Such
act of terror to a supreme leader of the Zou community is not
something new, but, a repeated happenings – since 1995 April at the
then UZO President Pu (L) Thangkhanlal residence. In all cases the
perpetrators are seemingly not a very different group (read Pawlpi).

This undesirable IRA type attempt assassination calls for all the
educated right thinking Zou community to ponder again why they has
been victimized not only once but repeated times. The most logical
inference that can be sum up from the repeated humiliation would be –
do we deserve this, what are our short comings. The Zou, like the
other communities have a dignified moral, values, a unique culture,
tradition and social identity which is equally unique from the rest
of the communities residing. We want to be respected and honoured
exactly as the way we do to others.

Therefore, the Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi, Delhi Branch and the Zou
community residing in Delhi and NCR express our strongest disapproval
to the act of atrocities and terror in any form. We strongly condemn
the coward act in the heinous crime at the most stringent and
strongest possible term and whole heartedly supported the bold move
taken by the United Zou Organisation GHQ, Zou Youth Organisation GHQ,
Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi GHQ and Zomi Council.

We condemn, demand and question the motive behind the attack and
clarify the matter in public and apologies in traditional norms to
the Zou people and their organizations. Since, such an act on the
head of the tribe organization (President) deeply hurt the patriotic
and trusteeship sentiment and will only widen communal divide and
misunderstandings.

We called all non-state actors to cease from the path of such violent
acts as it disturbed the peaceful students and conducive environment
for free and peaceful education as is essential for students who are
the future leaders.

We appeal to the public that such unwise drastic and brute action
should not be repeated again among any tribe organization in future
for the communal harmony, peaceful co-existence and tranquility in
our society.

Let peace prevail in our land.

Mizoram Teenage Queen Beauty Contest to be held

Teenage Beauty Queen pageant exclusively for girls from Southern Mizoram will be held soon, reported Ralvengtu Evening Daily Newspaper from Lunglei City.
The Organising Board set up include Chief Organiser- Lalthansiama, DAO, Chairman- K. Zothankhuma Venglai, Vice Chairman- Ramthlanpuia Chanmari, Secretary- C.Lalrinawma Bazarveng, Asst. Secy- Lalremruati Farmveng, PC Lalhmingmawia Chanmari, Treasurer- K.Vanlalruati Rahsiveng,
Advisers- Saithanga, H.Lalzarliana, Thlamuana, Dr. Liantluanga, Patron- Lalrinsanga (Dy. Speaker), ZH Ropuia (Minister), and 15 Comtt. members.
South Mizoram Queen Beauty Contest is likely to be held on October this year.
Tricky question: Why make the beauty contest exclusively for girls from the South only? It could well be named Mizoram Teenage Beauty Queen that will include the whole state, otherwise what the board intend seems to be just ‘Southern Mizoram Teenage Beauty Queen’.

However, such move is an indicator of Mizo society moving on to a more glamorized society than ever before.
