Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), the apex Mizo students’ body, has accused the Centre of using Mizoram as a “gubernatorial dumping ground” and submitted a memorandum to visiting President Pranab Mukherjee in this regard.
MZP president Lalhmachhuana said on Friday that the MZP submitted a memorandum to the President at the Raj Bhavan here last evening where it was mentioned that the state has had seven Governors in past eight months.
At present also the West Bengal Governor, has taken the additional charge of Mizoram, he said.
The MZP accused the Centre of using the state as gubernatorial dumping ground for Governors, he said, adding that the student body appealed to Mukherjee that the state should not be used “as a playground for political vendetta by political leaders at the Centre.”
“We informed the President that the people of Mizoram are unhappy about how the Centre used the post of the state’s Governor as a musical chair and urged him to protect the rights of the people of the state,” he said.
The MZP also flayed recent attacks on Christians and churches in some parts of the country, describing such attacks as shameful and asked the President to use his office “to protect the rights of the minority religious groups.”
