Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament from the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) K Vanlalvena said on March 24 that the people of Mizoram will not send the Myanmarese refugees back to their native land.
"Not only have the government of Mizoram but also all the people of Mizoram do not want to send them back because they are our brothers.
Sending them back means killing them.
From the point of humanity, we just can't send them.

The Indian government has reimposed the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in six police station areas of Manipur, as the state's security situation deteriorates. Citing a "volatile" environment and increasing insurgent activity, the Ministry of Home Affairs has extended AFSPA to regions severely affected by ethnic violence. Despite the deployment of additional paramilitary forces, violence continues to spiral, with clashes between militants and security forces claiming hundreds of lives over the past 18 months. In this video, we explore the implications of this decision, the ongoing unrest, and whether AFSPA can restore peace or fuel further conflict in the region.
