As hundreds Myanmarese people took shelter in Mizoram, Chief Minister Zoram Thanga said that he has shared his concern to Home Minister Amit Shah and said that refugees from Myanmar are like family members.
"I have expressed my views to Home Minister Amit Shah and told him that those people who came from Myanmar are our brothers and sisters.
We have family ties with most of them.
And once they came to Mizoram, we have to give them food and shelter from the humanitarian point of view.
We want Myanmar to be a democratic government and not the military government.
I believe that Indian Government should be more open to Myanmarese people.
I have written this to PM Modi.
I am sending my delegation to Delhi to discuss.
We will request the government to change the foreign policy to accept the Myanmar refugees and not to send them back" says Chief Minister Zoramthanga.
