Aizawl, Sept 22: Leaders of the central committee of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) held talks with two Manipur-based insurgent groups - Hmar People's Conference (democrats) and Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA) asking them not to interfere in the coming elections to the 40-member Mizoram legislature.
YMA Vice President Lalchungnunga, General Secretary Lalruatkima and Finance Secretary R. Lalngheta held parleys with the HPC(D) and ZRA leaders at Churachandpur in Manipur on Saturday, top YMA sources said today.
The sources said that the two rebel groups told the YMA leaders that they would not support any political party during the elections despite some parties seeking their help.
The YMA leadership may also hold talks with the Hmar National Army (HNA) soon to ensure that peace in the state was not disrupted and free, fair and peaceful polls held during the last part of the year, the sources said.
Earlier, the Mizoram People's Forum (MPF), sponsored by Mizoram Presbyterian Church of which the YMA is also represented, held talks with the NSCN (I-M) leadership outside the state on September 15 last, the sources said.
The MPF reportedly urged the NSCN to ensure that no insurgent group from across the border interfere in Mizoram when the state goes to the polls.
