MNF stops Mizoram minister, YC Chairman from attending office

The opposition MNF today restricted Mizoram Youth Commission Chairman T Sangkunga and state minister Lalrinmawia Ralte from entering their respective offices for being allegedly responsible for the inconvenience caused to a group of Mizo students in Kolkata.
Police, however, said that no untoward incident occurred during the protest as the two leaders did not make any attempt to attend their offices situated at the state secretariat complex.
The Mizo National Front (MNF), in a press statement, said that the protest would continue until Minister of State for Labour, Employment and Industrial Training Lalrinmawia Ralte and Mizoram Youth Commission Chairman T Sangkunga resigned from their offices.

MNF and other opposition parties held Ralte and Sangkunga responsible for the plight of 32 Mizo students sent by the state government to a management institute in Kolkata to study Bachelor of Hotel Management.
They alleged that the minister and the Mizoram Youth Commission (MYC) Chairman were responsible for sending the students to the institution, which they described as a "fake one", and misusing over Rs 128 lakhs of the fund provided by the Mizoram Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (MBOCWWB).
Meanwhile, the youth workers of the Mizoram People's Conference (MPC), Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP) and BJP put up posters in the capital here demanding the resignation of Ralte and Sangkunga.

The state government had suspended two officials -former Director of the LE and IT Rotluanga and former Superintendent of the MYC recently - but the opposition parties continued demanding resignation of the two Congress legislators.
Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla had announced on Friday in the meeting of the ruling Congress party workers that resignation of Ralte and Sangkunga was out of question.
