Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been reminded of the invitation to grace Remna Ni, the anniversary of the signing of the historic Mizo Peace Accord scheduled to be observed on June 30, after he failed to respond to earlier invitation.
Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla on last Friday wrote to Modi inviting him to be the chief guest on the occasion of Remna Ni.
Earlier, CYMA had invited Modi but he did not respond. CYMA waited for the Prime Minister to respond till June 23; however, when no response was received, the Chief Minister re-sent an invitation letter to the Prime Minister.
Citing the reason for inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CYMA president and organising chairman, Lalbiakzuala said that since Modi has not visited Mizoram, they wanted him to visit the state taking advantage of Remna Ni.
Lalbiakzuala added that they invited the Prime Minister to grace Remna Ni because the occasion will provide opportunity to hold talks with him about the implementation of some of the terms of memorandum of settlement signed between the Government of India and MNF in 1986.
On Saturday, a rally was organized under the aegis of CYMA in view of the celebration of Remena Ni which was attended by a strong crowd.
Meanwhile, Mizoram Governor Lt Gen Nirbhay Sharma (Retd) and Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla will grace the event as guests of honour on June 30. This year, the anniversary will be celebrated across Mizoram under the aegis of YMA except for Lawngtlai and Saiha, where it will be celebrated under the aegis of YLA and MTP respectively.
