No Serious Oppression of Minorities in Mizoram-Sangliana


sangliana Aizawl, Mar 28 : There has been no serious oppression and persecution of minorities in Mizoram, Vice-Chairman of the National Minority Commission H T Sangliana said Friday.

The lot of the minorities in Mizoram is better than that of those in other states, including neighboring Manipur where the minorities are being discriminated," Sangliana told reporters.

He said all states should have minority commissions to protect the rights of the minorities in their respective states and the Mizoram government would also have to constitute such a commission.

During his visit to Mizoram, he met representatives of different minority communities like the Chakmas and the Brus and others and also held discussions with state home minister R Lalzirliana, senior government officials and major NGOs.
