Manipur ripple in Mizoram? Outfit asks Meiteis to leave, govt assures safety amid escalating tension

Manipuri people, both Meiteis and Pangals (Manipuri Muslims), have started fleeing Mizoram after an organization of former insurgents of Mizoram, Peace Accord MNF Returnees’ Association (Pamra), asked the Meiteis residing there to leave the state for “their own safety” on Friday. Later on Saturday evening, Mizoram government’s home department issued a statement saying that Pamra representatives, while expressing regret that their statement on Friday was misconstrued, decided not to pursue it.
