Northeast Desk, 1st March: Zoramthanga, the president of the Mizo National Front (MNF) party and former chief minister of Mizoram, voiced his opposition to recent decisions regarding the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between India and Myanmar in an exclusive interview with India Today NE. He made it unequivocally clear that there is no ambiguity in their stance.
Regarding the implementation of CAA, Zoramthanga stated firmly that his party stands opposed to it. He emphasized the MNF party’s consistent policy, advocating for the continuation of the FMR and opposing border fencing.

In a determined tone, he reiterated, “Let the FMR persist, along with the border fencing. There is no need for change. This summarizes our stance.”
