The meeting passed two important resolutions.
As per the resolutions, the state government should make efforts to request the BJP-led NDA government, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold tripartite talks among the Centre, Mizoram and Assam governments so that the long-standing border dispute with Assam is resolved at the earlier, it said.
The party also asked the state government to take steps to ensure that the decision to resettle the displaced Bru people in Tripura’s Zampui areas traditionally inhabited by the Mizos is withdrawn at the earliest, the statement added.
