Aizawl: Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga ruled out immediate withdrawal from National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and stated that it would depen upon political necessity.
Speaking to media persons in Aizawl on Tuesday said, “So far the party has not made a consideration for this and it depends upon political necessity. So far we are members of NDA but we totally oppose Uniform Civil Code.”
Mizoram will go to assembly polls by the end of this year.
He said, “The MNF never changes its stance when the government changes at the centre. The party strongly opposed the proposed UCC because the MNF opposed anything that is detrimental to its motto – “For God and the country”.
He had said, “MNF and the BJP work together for development, but not on the Mizo and religious issues and we do not say ‘ji saheb’ (yes, sir) to whatever they say.” he said.
On Monday, Zoramthanga said that the state government and the MNF party are not afraid of the NDA government at the centre.
While addressing party workers at Hnam Run (MNF party office) in Aizawl on Monday, Zoramthanga said, “Political parties in India are forming alliances in the name of BJP-led NDA or recently Congress-led INDIA, and MNF is an alliance partner of the NDA. Though we are with the NDA we do not subscribe to the policies and objects of the NDA.”
