Don't traffic drugs, apex Mizo group tells refugees, IDPs
Aizawl: The central committee of the
Young Mizo Association
(YMA), the largest civil society organisation in Mizoram, has issued guidelines on social conduct for ethnic Mizos, who are taking shelter in the state as refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) from Myanmar, Bangladesh and Manipur.
According to a statement of the Aizawl-based organisation, the refugees and IDPs should follow the societal practices of the permanent residents of Mizoram and not indulge in activities which are against society as long as they are taking refuge in the state.
"The central committee of YMA expects that the refugees and IDPs do not get involved in smuggling and drug trafficking which violate of laws of the land and against the wishes of the govt and local society," the statement said.
The statement also said as the refugees cannot legally own land or buildings in the state without prior permission of the state govt, the YMA cannot give recommendations in this regard. On the issue of renting shops, the refugees are told not to indulge in taking over other people's shops by offering higher rents as it is regarded as a bad practice.

Pakistan is in the grip of military-terror nexus: Ravi Shankar Prasad
NEW DELHI: A delegation of lawmakers and former diplomats that visited six European countries to gather support for India's efforts to fight terrorism, told the foreign interlocutors that Pakistan's military did not reciprocate India's initiatives and that the military-terror nexus was the main hurdle to peace, former minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravi Shankar Prasad said. Prasad, who led a nine-member delegation that travelled to France, Italy, Denmark, the UK, Belgium and Germany from May 25 to June 7, said the delegation spoke about the historical perspective of how the two nations were born on the same day after Partition but while Pakistan was 'going around with a begging bowl', India was the fourth largest economy. 'We fought four conventional wars, and we were never the aggressors… And treaties were signed but it is the (Pakistan) army that is responsible for tensions between the two countries,' he said. The delegation was one of the seven that were sent to different countries as part of India's diplomatic outreach after New Delhi carried out retaliatory strikes on May 7 across 9 terror camps in territory controlled by Pakistan for the April 22 terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 people. 'Pakistan is not only a state in denial, but it is in the grip of a deadly combination of military-terrorist nexus. Army generals have been in power for many years, from General Zia ul Haq to Asim Munir. And the generals use these terrorists as proxies to make themselves relevant. That is why there is no peace,' he said. During their interactions abroad, he said the delegation put forth the efforts made by India to establish peaceful bilateral ties, and how these were rebuffed by the neighbouring country. 'No matter which government has been in power, they all have tried to have good relations. PM Narendra Modi invited Nawaz Sharief to his swearing-in ceremony (in 2014), he attended the wedding of his grandson (granddaughter), yet Uri and Pulwama attacks happened,' he said. He was referring to the attack on an Indian army brigade headquarters in Uri, carried out in 2016 by Pakistan trained terrorists and the attack on soldiers in Pulwama in Kashmir in 2019. Asked if the delegation was questioned about the evidence available with India against Pakistan, Prasad said, 'We had enough evidence and our initial comments about the terror attacks would dispel their misconceptions. When they did ask for operation details, we told them that such information cannot be revealed.' To highlight the misuse of international funds by Pakistan, the delegation saidthe last loan that India secured from the IMF was in 1991, but Pakistan continues to borrow and use the funds for weapons. 'It has borrowed 25 times and uses it to buy weapons, and China supplies 80% of these,' Prasad said. To a question on whether India's position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict came up for discussion, Prasad said, 'We were asked about Ukraine and we told them that we have very old relations with Russians. But the PM (Narendra Modi) was clear in telling President Putin that this is not the age of war… and this was televised… Our Prime Minister also said that coming from the land of Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi does not mean that we need to tolerate terrorism.'

Went for the country and spoke for the country: Tharoor on Op Sindoor outreach
New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who led a nine-member Indian delegation including MPs from different political parties as part of Operation Sindoor outreach to five countries, including the US and Brazil, on Tuesday said that the tour was hugely successful. "I went for the country and spoke for the country," said Tharoor while interacting with the Malayalam media here on Tuesday in response to a question about his party's outlook on the venture. Apart from Tharoor, the team included Sarfaraz Ahmad, Ganti Harish Madhur, Shashank Mani Tripathi, Bhubaneswar Kalita, Tejasvi Surya, and former Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu, and it also visited Panama, Guyana, and Colombia. "The whole purpose of the visit was to interact with think tanks, Presidents, Vice Presidents, parliamentarians and also former top political leaders and to brief them on what had happened,' said Tharoor. About his American visit, he said nothing about trade issues or about who 'intervened' to stop the aggression was raised during their interactions, in a reference to President Donald Trump's statements. "After explaining the Indian position, all have understood things, as Pakistan had presented a weak case, as terrorists had attacked tourists," he added. Asked about what he intends to do following the visit, he said: "I am going to submit a detailed report to the Prime Minister, and it will be my report." "The trip was very hectic as we were travelling at night and hardly got time to sleep," Tharoor added. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had selected Tharoor to be part of the delegation and lead it, after it was found out that the Congress party's list did not have the name of Tharoor. Ever since Tharoor decided to contest against the official party high command's nominee, Malikarjuna Kharge, for the post of Congress president, a majority in the Congress leadership was unhappy with him, but knowing his popularity, he managed to get support from a section of the party in Kerala. Tharoor is a four-time Congress MP from the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency since 2009.
