Aizawl, Oct 16: Mizoram chief minister Lalduhoma on Tuesday lambasted the previous state government for failing to implement the peace accord signed with Hmar militants in 2018.

The ZPM-Hmar People’s Convention (HPC) combined on Tuesday launched campaigns for the 12-member Sinlung Hills Council (SHC) polls at three locations.

“Even after signing a peace accord to end decades of insurgency, successive government did not honour it,” said Lalduhoma.

He alleged, “Hmar community has no obligation to support parties that have been unfaithful to them. The past administrations lacked sincerity in managing the SHC”, noting that they provided only Rs 1.5 crore as a development fund.

Lalduhoma highlighted that his government has allocated an additional Rs 1.9 crore, along with Rs 75 lakh from Lok Sabha member Richard Vanlalhmangaiha’s MP fund, to support development projects in the area.

The Hmar People’s Convention (HPC) initially took up arms in 1989, advocating for an autonomous district under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
