Mizoram MNF holds rally condemning Lal Thanhawla govt

Aizawl, Sep 30 : The opposition Mizo National Front today organised a worker's rally here where resolutions were passed condemning the Congress government led by Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla for allegedly using the state Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to harass political opponents.

The MNF resolution condemned the recent raid on residents of former chief minister and MNF chief Zoramthanga, his relatives and the former legislator and advisor of the party R Khawpuithanga saying that it was a politically motiviated move ahead of the Aizawl Municipal Council polls.

It said when the chief minister, who holds the Vigilance portfolio, claimed to have no knowledge of the raid, he should take punitive action against the authorities who ordered the raids.

If he failed to take action he should resign immediately, it said.
