(PTI Photo)Mizoram Chief Minister P Zoramthanga wrote to his Tripura counterpart Biplab Kumar Deb, requesting him to reconsider resettling Bru migrants in Jampui Hills and adjoining areas. In his letter, the Mizoram CM said Brus and Mizos have historically shared ethnic tension and upheavals, both in Mizoram and Tripura. “We aren’t aware of any such official letter from Mizoram Chief Minister. Tripura is dealing with Bru resettlement internally and as per instruction of the Government of India. The letter has received severe criticism from Bru migrants who said they feel Mizoram CM Zoramthanga’s letter is a veiled threat to their peaceful resettlement process in Tripura.
