22 March 2010: The Chin National Front (CNF) operating from Aizawl city, Mizoram northeast state of India has appealed to the Government of India to ease political pressure and stop joint-operations with the Burmese military junta on them.
A press release on the 22nd anniversary of the Chin National Front on 20 March said that Indian Government is cooperating with the military junta on bilateral trade issues in keeping with the Look East Policy and has joined hands militarily so that it can create pressure on the Chin National Front.
“The joint-operation of the India and Myanmar governments has to do with the arrest of members of the Chin National Front settled in India,” said Mr. Paul Sita, general secretary of CNF.
The Chin National Front has requested the Indian government, given that it is the largest democracy in the world, that it should not apply political pressure to those fighting for democracy and human rights for their country.
“We are fighting for the restoration of democracy in Burma and are also supporting a federal union in keeping with our constitution. We believe that the Indian government will heed our request seriously and concede to it,” he added.
CNF lost its military headquarters called ‘Victoria Camp’ in 2005 on the border to a joint military operation between India and Burma. It was the result of pressure by the military junta on the Indian government. – Khonumthung News.
