\nBut leaders of this outfit do not want to call their group as ‘political party’. They said they are a group of people under the style and banner of Zoramthar Duhtute (Beiseina Thar) to save Mizoram.
\nBeiseina Thar said it has come up with a clear-cut plan to do away with the prevailing party politics by way of contesting in the assembly elections and thereby form a government that will be for the people.
\nThey will put their best efforts to replace the political parties in the State that have ruled so far, accusing the latter as ruling along party line and individual preferences rather than for the larger public interest.
\nThe interest group in the name of Zoramthar Duhtute (Beiseina Thar) Pawl has announced that they will contest in the upcoming Mizoram MLA election and would take every possible step to form a government that would belong to the people.
\nChairman of Zoramthar Duhtute Pawl, SL Sailova, IAS (rtd) said, “What has been witnessed in the past 40 years is governance marked by preference to one\u2019s kith and kins and members of political parties only. People got very little of their shares, and political parties are only thinking of how to win in the elections, nothing else. Because of this, we have come up.”
\nGen Secy of Zoramthar Duhtute Pawl, Dr. Zodinpuia Pachuau also said, “We know very well that there is no hope with the governments we have had so far, and if we continue to have the same kind of government, we don\u2019t believe that a good government will be formed. To fulfill the desire of the common people to have a good government, ‘Zoramthar Duhtute’ has been formed.” It is our main objective to let the people get their proper shares, to make them strong, and to save them from their miserable condition, Dr. Zodinpuia added.
\nIn reply to media query as to whether they plan to form a new Political party, Dr. Zodinpuia said “We don\u2019t have a plan to form a new Party. But our way of functioning will be like that of a party, and we shall also have candidates.”
\nZoramthar Duhtute Pawl leaders also said that the Election Commission of India can accept the group as ‘unregistered party’, adding “We have not yet decided how many candidates we shall have in the forthcoming election. However, we expect to have at least 5 candidates so that we would be able to use ‘common symbol\u2019.”
\n“We can come to agreement with anyone whether it is a political party or others, if they could agree with our objectives and principles” they added.
\nSailova said, “Had the range of salary of the government servants lowered, and corruption detested, I don\u2019t believe the State will experience such a severe financial crisis like the present.”
\nInforming that they will invite good individuals for their Candidates, SL Sailova added “if we don\u2019t find one (like our want) we may just contest daring to lose”. He further added that their candidate will all sign oath of affirmation, and will be expected to give up if they don\u2019t want to do their duty well.
\nSL Sailova, IAS (rtd) as chairman of the outfit, Lalngheta Sailo, IPS (rtd) as Vice Chairman, Zodinpuia Pachuau as General Secretary, Dr. Lalnunthara as Treasurer, Dr. Chawnglungmuana as Secretary and other members.
\nAs announced by them, Zoramthar Duhtute Pawl is determined to fight for a new peoples\u2019 government in the forthcoming 2013 Mizoram Legislative Assembly (MLA) elections. Leaders of the group also explained that they come to the fore with their common interests to form peoples\u2019 government, not a party government.<\/p>\n\n
