"Unhappy" Over Manipur Violence, BJP's Mizoram Ally To Back No-Trust Motion

The Mizo National Front said it is extremely unhappy with the way the BJP governments in the state and Centre have dealt with the violence in Manipur.

In a setback for the BJP, albeit a symbolic one, its ally in Mizoram has declared that it will support the no-confidence motion moved against the central government. The Mizo National Front, which is the ruling party in Mizoram, said it has taken the decision because it is unhappy with the way the BJP governments in the state and the Centre have dealt with the Manipur violence issue. 

C Lalrosanga, the lone Lok Sabha member from Mizoram, said he would vote against the government in the no-confidence motion, which was moved the Congress and is backed by the newly-minted INDIA coalition

"We are extremely unhappy with the way the BJP governments have dealt with the Manipur issue. Our brothers and sisters in Manipur are badly affected and distressed by the violence in the state," Mr Lalrosanga said, adding that the issue was discussed with the party leadership, including the state Chief Minister and MNF President Zoramthanga.
