Mizoram Cong reunites with splinter group

Aizawl, May 16 : Mizoram Pradesh Congress finally reunited with its splinter group Mizoram Congress party today. In spite of its ideological differences in the past, Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee can now declare that they celebrated its red-letter day.

“We have buried the hatchet and make renewed efforts for a better Mizoram,” Pradesh Congress Chief Lal Thanhawla said here today at the press conference held after the reunification.

The reunification agreement signed by MPCC president Lal Thanhawla and MCP president John Lalsangzuala stated that the two parties agrees to reunite with the objectives of forming a good governance to save the people from poverty and backwardness. It also laid down manifestoes to be fulfilled by the reunited Congress party in the forthcoming State Assembly elections.

Following the reunification, the MPCC had made slight alterations among the office-bearers, where Lal Thanhawla will remain the president, while a new working president post has been created for the comeback son Lalsangzuala.

Due to illness, Lalsangzuala could not attend the reunification press conference. The two MCP MLAs Liansuama and Saikapthianga, who have now become ‘free MLAs’ according to Thanhawla, did not attend the press conference.
