Mizoram Chief Minister Piu Lalduhoma gave a speech in Indianapolis, USA on 4 September last month. His words in this speech are being discussed not only in India but also in Bangladesh and Myanmar.
During this, Lalduhoma called for unity and one country of Chin-Kuki-who are Christian tribes living in India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. After this speech in America, the question is whether the US intelligence agencies are working to create a separate Christian country by separating parts of India, Bangladesh and Myanmar because they have got a platform to put forward this point on American soil.
According to Goa Chronicle, the underlying implications of the Mizoram CM's speech have raised concerns about a separatist agenda that could destabilise South Asia. Lalduhoma's speech, with its comments on religious and cultural aspects, has raised suspicions of foreign support and has also sparked debates on sovereignty, regional stability and geopolitical manoeuvring.
In his speech, Lalduhoma said, "We are one people, we are brothers and sisters and cannot afford to be divided. God made us one and we will rise under one leadership to achieve nationhood. Though a country may have boundaries, a true nation is beyond them. We have been unjustly divided into three governments of three countries. We cannot accept this." Lalduhoma proposed an assertive vision of political unity, which has raised concerns about sovereignty.
In his speech, Lalduhoma spoke on the 'destiny of nationhood' and called for shared cultural and religious identity. He emphasised that the Chin-Kuki-Zo people have a historic claim to be a nation irrespective of the borders they share. This sentiment has emerged recently from the Chin-Kuki-Zo community who feel marginalised. These communities are spread across the Indian states of Manipur and Mizoram as well as parts of Bangladesh and Myanmar. They share linguistic, cultural and religious ties that make them feel connected across borders.
There has long been a concern that foreign powers may divide the region for strategic purposes. Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had claimed some time ago that an American official had talked about a plan to create a Christian nation by combining Bangladesh, Myanmar and parts of India. Hasina's statement created a stir in the entire region. Now the statement of Mizoram CM also raises similar concerns whether there is any interference from America in the region.
The setting and timing of Lalduhoma's speech further aggravates these concerns as he has chosen to deliver this message on US soil. The US has been accused of supporting separatist movements in the past to advance strategic interests. By delivering his speech in Indianapolis after Hasina, Lalduhoma has given rise to fresh speculation about US intentions. Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu is believed to be a CIA agent.
