This is good news for Mizoram lovers. A human right watchdog Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) had earlier criticised the government of Mizoram from the comfort of their chairs in New Delhi on violence against Bru minorities in the state after one Mizo youth was murdered by suspected Bru militants. The watchdog had squarely blamed the state government for the violence.

New Delhi, Nov.27 (ANI): The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) today accepted the offer of the Mizoram Home Minister Pu R. Lalzirliana to visit Mizoram from 4 to 11 December 2009 or any other dates convenient to the State government.

In a press held in Aizawl on 22 November 2009 in response to the press statement of the ACHR on the recent attacks on the Bru minorities, Home Minister Lalzirliana stated “ACHR representatives are most welcome to come to Mizoram and see the facts and ground realities by themselves.”
