Unity is the cornerstone of Mizoram’s identity: CM

Aizawl: Despite diverse ethnic composition, the spirit of unity and understanding is the cornerstone of Mizoram's identity as one of the most peaceful and progressive states in the country, state chief minister Lalduhoma said.
He made this comment while gracing the celebrations of the Boisu festival, the traditional New Year festival of the Bru community on Saturday.
The celebration event was organised by the Bru Student Association (BSA) in Aizawl.
Highlighting Mizoram's diverse ethnic composition, the CM said various communities in the state have lived together in peace and mutual respect. "This spirit of unity and understanding.... is the cornerstone of Mizoram's identity as one of the most peaceful and progressive states in India," he said.
He further emphasised that every citizen in India must have the freedom to uphold and celebrate their unique identity, customs and way of life. Imposing a singular worldview or disregarding others' rights to cultural expression is not only unjust but also detrimental to the fabric of the society. Whether from a large or small community, every individual must be able to coexist with dignity and mutual respect, he said.
