AIZOL TIMES –

Aizawl Sept 23: According to a statement released by the Former Underground Welfare Society (FUWS), the signatories to the Mizoram Independent Declaration would be called to come together soon to discuss future developments that could arise from the recent UN’s adoption of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

In meeting of FUWS held last Friday, it was decided that with the rights declaration having been adopted by the UNO, a new line of thinking needed to be explored by the Mizo people even though they had surrendered into the bosom of the Indian government through the MNF’s Memorandum of Settlement in 1986, the statement said.

“In order to discuss future plans, it has been decided to call all the signatories of the Mizoram Independent Declaration in the near future,” FUWS said in its statement.

According to the statement, it was not only the adoption of the indigenous peoples’ rights that had prompted the need for this discussion, but also the book recently released by R. Zamawia, a former MNF underground minister and also a signatory to the independent declaration, which had given the true story about the MNF underground movement enticing titled (The fire of freedom should not die out) In the Journey of the Zofa.
