Lamka, May 12 2012: Newly elected members of the State Assembly from
the Zomi community were today felicitated by Zomi Council at its
administrative office here wherein a threadbare discussion on the
community's political aspiration was held as well.

The three legislatures, including a minister have attended the
programme that also witnessed several tribe leaders from the community
and several members of the district council.

Delivering a keynote address, ZC Chairman LB Sona asserted that the
council's initial demand for autonomous tribal state entailing all the
hill districts of Manipur has been amended as Autonomous Hill State
under the same Constitutional provision following the UPF adoption of
the later as its demand before the Government.

The Autonomous Hill State under 244A of the Indian Constitution is now
not just the demand of the council but of the armed groups and
communities under the SoO pact, the United Peoples Front, he said.

The elected members who attended the programme have also assured the
gathering that they would not hesitate to take initiatives to realise
the political aspirations so long as the people who have elected them
wish so.
