The FLAM sent letters to presidents of the ruling Congress, the Mizo National Front (MNF), the Mizoram People's Conference (MPC) and the Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP) urging them to take up the matter in the legislature.
"We appealed to the presidents of the political parties to move a private resolution in the state legislature on the issue to ensure deliberation of the 'insulting' remarks of the Punjab MLA," KL Rochama, FLAM leader said.
Congress legislator Ajit Singh Mofar moved a resolution in the Punjab assembly on June 28 seeking to tackle the stray dog problem in the state by sending them to China, Mizoram or Nagaland for "whatever they do to them". "We can make arrangements to catch the dogs, put them in jungle or zoos or send them to China, Nagaland and Mizoram where they are needed," he was reported as saying.
