ZORO not to participate in the third World Zomi Convention

Aizawl Aug18 UNA : The ZORO (Zo Reunification Organization) has decided not to take part and keep aloof in the 3rd World Zomi Convention/3rd Global Zo People Convention to be organized by Zomi Council of Manipur, according to the ZoRO General Headquarter Aizawl, Mizoram saying that the Convention being organized by the Zomi Council of […]

Aizawl Aug18 UNA : The ZORO (Zo Reunification Organization) has decided not to take part and keep aloof in the 3rd World Zomi Convention/3rd Global Zo People Convention to be organized by Zomi Council of Manipur, according to the ZoRO General Headquarter Aizawl, Mizoram saying that the Convention being organized by the Zomi Council of Manipur is not sponsored by the ZoRO on Sunday.
The ZoRO General Headquarter Aizawl said in there press release that Peoples’ Conference Party of Mizoram and Zomi National Congress Manipur jointly organized the 1st World Zo Reunification Convention on the 19-21 May, 1988 at Champhai which is always called “Zo Khawpui”, where the generic name of ‘Zo’ coined by different writers was deliberated for naming the Zo nation and hence instituted “Zo Reunification Organization” for their social, cultural, economic, spiritual and political affinity.
Different Zo-folks, coming from different parts of the world adopted a joint resolution to unify all the Zofate (sons of Zo) within the Constitution of India in the Convention, the Zo General Headquarter Aizawl further stated.
It further went on to say that the Zofate (Sons of Zo) are under tripartite divisions of India, Myanmar and Bangladesh during the British period. Realizing that it is the UNO where to put up their aspiration for reunification and not within the framework of Indian Constitution besides it is not appropriate to make approach for the issue from one country under the supervision of one political party, they resolved to go headway under the banner of NGO and hence the 2nd World ZoRO Convention was convened at Vanapa Hall in Aizawl on July 1991 where a fresh ZoRO (Zo Reunification Organization) was instituted thereby keeping it aloof from any political party keeping in mind the decision of the Chin-Lushai Conference of 1892 at Fort William in Kolkata.
Hence, the ZoRO, acted from different angles as an independent organization for reunification of all Zofates (Son of Zo) participated in sessions of World Indigenous Peoples under the auspices of UN viz., UNWGIP, UNPFII, EMRIP and other seminars and trainings conducted in respect of the rights of the Indigenous Peoples of the World. It continues to participate in such sessions from 1999 till date. Therefore ZoRO does not feel it imperative, as of now, to conduct Convention of all Zofates since it finds no other compelling issues, said the ZoRO Gen HQ.

Chief Minister O. Ibobi opened his heart when he delivered speech on the occasion of the celebration of 67th Independence Day in the state capital. The message that he gave was loud and clear. The Government will not allow further division of the state on communal line. He boldly said no force can divide Manipur. His Government will face head on all the divisive forces that threaten to smash the unity and integrity of the state. Manipur is safe in the hands of the Congress Government. Shri Ibobi has taken a firm stand that was revealed when he said his Government would not succumb to the pressure given by the forces detrimental to the well being of the state. Having ruled the state continuously for 12 years, a record of sort, he can take hardened stand on matters of protection of territorial integrity of the state. His message had reached within the pale of hearing of all sections of the society. None attempted to defy his stand. Ibobi knows a powerful Government is respected by all sections of the state. So he revealed it by speaking in the manner as he spoke on the auspicious occasion like the celebration of the independence day of the country. Independence Day speech is important for it allows even the common men to delve into the minds of the men in power. No organisation howsoever powerful it may be will not think of disturbing territorial integrity of the state. The Government stand is really firm. It will not compromise territorial integrity of the state. Brave sons of Manipur had shown in the past they were prepared to lay down even their own precious life for protection of the land. That feeling is sweeping in the mind set of all the people of the state. Therefore none should think of carving out land of Manipur for creation of homeland. Manipur was created and protected by our forefathers. Present generation will be considered as coward if they cannot protect the land handed down to them by the forefathers, who fought against the mighty British forces. Manipur also fought against the invaders from Myanmar. Now the state is intact. And people of the state are proud of inheriting the big legacy. Now the focus should be on the further development of the state. By development we mean keeping well shaped roads and bridges. This is one area, which requires immediate attention of the Government.
