There is no basis to the allegation made by the Zomi Re-Unification Organization, (Burma Front) that ZRO helped the Mizo National Front (MNF) to win the state elections in Mizoram in 2003, a ZRO spokesman, who did not want to be identified said.
In March 29, ZRO (Burma Front) leaders Mr. Zothawn and Mr. Zosuan came to Aizawl and held a secret press conference with some media persons. They said that € ¦’³In the 2003 elections in Mizoram, some party leaders of the MNF and ZRO campaigned in Champhai villages to help it win the polls.
They said in 2003 November members of an armed group in Manipur, Zomi Re-Unification Organization € ¦’¶ Mr. Hang Sian Thang (President) Mr. Thang Cin Hau (Home Secretary) Mr. Zo Khup (Cabinet Member, Senior Liaison Officer to the Government of Mizoram) Mr. Thang Za Cin (Executive Member, finance joint director) Mr. Thang Suan Mung (driver) and the president of the MNF held a meeting in Kolkata. Then they went to Champhai to campaign for votes. Being unfamiliar with the local people they got help from ZRO (Burma Front) based in Champhai.
Regarding this the ZRO spokesman said, € ¦’³It means that Zothawn and Zosuan were used for Mizoram politics. If this is not so they themselves got involved. We were never involved.€ ¦’´
He added that though Mr. Zothawn and Mr. Zosuan are not members of ZRO but they have helped the organization before. They reorganized the Zomi Re-Unification Organisation (Burma Front) in 2003 with 10 persons of a group. In fact, there are no Burma Front and India Front in the ZRO.€ ¦’´
ZRO and ZRO (Burma Front) have no relationship with each other. ZRO has never been involved in Mizoram politics. They only focus on work beneficial to all Chin tribes and to stop them fighting each other and work for their welfare.
Zomi Re-Unification Organisation (ZRO), was established in 1993 by Mr. Khaizasong Guite, President and Mr. Daniel Thang, Vice President.
