Myanmar refugees to face deportation if convicted of drug offences: Mizo group
Aizawl: Young Mizo Association (YMA) sub-headquarters in Champhai district, bordering Myanmar, has issued new directives to Myanmar refugees residing in the area. The guidelines state that any refugee convicted of drug trafficking or possession will be deported to Myanmar after serving their jail term. This week, the YMA sub-headquarters outlined rules prohibiting refugees from forming associations or groups based on sub-tribes. The move aims to ensure uniform guidelines and equal access to support and maintenance. "They (refugees) should enrol themselves in the respective YMA units of their localities or villages and submit their Myanmar identity cards to YMA leaders. Whoever violates the local social guidelines are liable to be punished," the directives said. If a refugee intends to relocate, the current YMA unit must notify the new unit in advance. Refugees are barred from running businesses that require govt permits or from owning land or buildings. On Wednesday, the Aizawl-based NGO coordination committee — a coalition of major civil society groups and student organisations — expressed deep concern over the emergence of sub-tribe sentiments among refugees amid ongoing ethnic conflicts in Myanmar and Manipur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo At a meeting held in Aizawl, the committee underscored that Mizoram has long been a haven of peaceful coexistence among Zo ethnic tribes. It urged the public and refugees to prevent the rise of divisive, tribe-based thinking that could threaten state harmony. The statement follows recent armed clashes in Myanmar's Chin state between Chin sub-tribes, which forced hundreds of refugees into Mizoram. In neighbouring Manipur, tensions remain high, primarily involving the Meitei community and the Kuki and Zomi groups — ethnic communities closely tied to the Mizos. Past episodes have shown that political divisions can cause friction even between culturally aligned groups like the Kuki and Zomi. Champhai district police officials said nearly 4,000 refugees who had entered Zokhawthar village — fleeing violence in Khawmawi, Rihkhawdar, and nearby Chin state villages — have now returned, following signs of peace.

'Ties strong enough to...': India on Muizzu's brother-in-law criticising PM Modi
The relationship between India and Maldives has withstood the test of time, said Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Friday, when asked about a purported now-deleted social media post made by Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu's brother-in-law. Mohamed Muizzu (R), shakes hand with PM Modi after signing a memorandum of understanding between the two countries in Male.(AP) Junking the post as "passing remarks", Misri said India looks forward to strengthening ties with Maldives. "Our ties are strong enough to withstand some of these passing remarks that have been made and have also withstood the test of time. I would prefer to look forward," the Foreign Secretary said. As PM Modi visits Maldives, several media reports had said that Muizzu's brother-in-law Abdullah bin Mohammed Ibrahim made a post on social media criticising PM Modi. The post has now reportedly been taken down. Reacting to a question about it, Misri said India and Maldives have withstood such remarks, adding, "by going with everything that has happened today and especially in the past 9-10 months since President Mohamed Muizzu visited India, the future is undoubtedly and unquestionably bright." Thaw in India-Maldives ties PM Modi's visit to the Maldives marks a significant shift in the India-Maldives relations, which soured in 2023 after Muizzu was elected President, on the back of an 'India Out' campaign. What further triggered a storm was posts criticising PM Modi, made by some members in Muizzu's government, following which Indian tourists started boycotting trips to Maldives, a popular tourist destination. However, ties started to restore by 2024 as both India and Maldives decided to restart diplomatic dialogue. While in Maldives, PM Modi affirmed faith into the India-Maldives diplomatic ties, calling them 'older than history and as deep as the sea.' 'India is the Maldives' closest neighbour. The Maldives holds an important place in both India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy and its Vision MAHASAGAR. India is proud to be the Maldives' most trusted friend," PM Modi said. Mohamed Muizzu also congratulated PM Modi for completing 4,078 consecutive days in office.

Opposition paralyses House again over Bihar rolls
Opposition paralyses House again over Bihar rolls NEW DELHI: Proceedings of both Houses of Parliament were disrupted for the fifth consecutive day Friday as opposition kept up its demand for a discussion on SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar, despite repeated assurances from the Chair that govt was ready for all discussions. Both the Houses failed to transact Question Hour and later Zero Hour before it was adjourned for the day due to ruckus caused by protesting MPs from opposition benches who assembled in the well of the House and shouted slogans against govt. RS deputy chairman Harivansh said he received 28 notices seeking suspension of business to discuss SIR, Bengali migrant issues, and India-UK FTA. Similar notices were received in LS but not admitted by the Speaker. Opposition escalated its protest against SIR with the MPs marching from Gandhi statue to main entrance of the Parliament building, shouting slogans and seeking a roll back of SIR. The climax came when Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge led the MPs, including Dharmendra Yadav of SP and Rahul Gandhi, in tearing of the symbolic SIR in the form of a red card and dumping it in a dustbin placed in the middle of the gathering. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo Kharge said SIR is RSS design to rob SC/STs, OBCs, minorities and the poor of their right to vote. In LS, before adjourning the House for the day, BJP made a point with Jagdambika Pal in the Chair rebuking opposition members for not taking up matters important to their constituents. He told them that they are not serious about even taking up private members' bills, which have the same importance as the bills brought by govt, which are discussed by members in the House. The House was finally adjourned till Monday. While Pal continued to persuade the protesting MPs to go back to their respective seats and allow discussion on the private members' bill, Meghwal mentioned 'The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of Goa Bill, 2024'. A bill concerning STs should be taken up for discussion, he said, and asked: "Are they against STs?". Pal told opposition MPs to desist from disrupting proceedings. "The Speaker has taken the initiative," he said referring to Om Birla's meeting with opposition members for running of the House, assuring them of taking up for discussion all issues raised by them. "The whole week has been washed out. People of the country have some expectations, but you don't want this House to run," Pal told the protesting MPs as he adjourned the House.
