Facebook post attracts FIR in Mizoram Aizawl, August 29 (NNN): A facebook post has attracted an FIR in Mizoram. Two most powerful student bodies in Mizoram, Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) and Mizo Students’ Union (MSU) have filed FIR with Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) against private school teacher for allegedly making baseless allegation and defamatory post on social networking site. The FIR was filed against H. Lallianmawia alias Mawia HL or Mawitea, who is an assistant manager cum smart class coordinator in Educom company and presently working at Divine Intervention School, Luangmual. In a Facebook post, Mawitea had slammed the student bodies for the alleged "resistance" of the move to honour Khaungchera (Mizo) as an "Indian freedom fighter" and burning the effigy of state BJP president Prof JV Hluna for allegedly spearheading the move to honour Khuangchera. Mawitea also accused some MZP and MSU leaders of taking Rs 1 lakh as bribe from a political party during the agitation. Reacting to the allegation, the student bodies said it was baseless and a complete lie and "therefore viewed as an attempt to distort the reputation of the two student bodies". A statement issued by the student bodies said that they have been working relentlessly for the welfare of Mizo people and good system and added that any attempt to disgrace the student bodies by making baseless allegation shall be strongly dealt with. The student body in a statement also said that they have filed FIR with the chief judicial magistrate to find out the truth and asked the authority to make "massive efforts" in unveiling the truth behind the allegation and take appropriate disciplinary action against Mawitea.
