Mizoramchief minister Zoramthanga reiterated that unification of all the Mizo inhabited areas into a single administration has been the political objective of the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) for more than 60 years.
Speaking to media persons on the demand for a separate administration by the Kuki-Zo people in strife-torn Manipur, which included the possible formation of Greater Mizoram, Zoramthanga said when the Late Laldenga formed the MNF on October 22, 1962, unification of all Mizo inhabited contiguous areas into a single administration was one of its ambitions. The Kuki-Zo leaders, including 10 tribal legislators of Manipur, during their meeting in Aizawl on May 17 resolved that a separate administration is the only solution for bringing peace while the possibility of joining a Greater Mizoram also featured in their discussions.
Though contiguous areas in Myanmar and Bangladesh, inhabited by the Mizo ethnic community, remain iredenta after the MNF came overground after signing a peace accord with the Indian government in 1986, unification of Mizo inhabited areas within India under one administrative unit is possible under the Indian Constitution
