# Ex-MNF fighters tell Mizoram CM to quit over peace accord remarks 2026-08-08T20:44:08+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Two associations of former Mizo National Front fighters have demanded Chief Minister Lalduhoma step down, accusing him of misrepresenting the 1986 peace accord and the Inner Line Permit system. At a press conference on Saturday, Vanlalbia, chairman of the Coordination Committee on Ex-Mizo National Army and the Peace Accord MNF Returnees Association, said Lalduhoma’s remarks belittled hard-won safeguards secured through sacrifice. India Today reports that Lalduhoma, while addressing students at Mizoram Law College on July 31, allegedly called the accord a 'memorandum of understanding' and said the term 'Mizoram Accord' was inaccurate. Vanlalbia insisted the document was signed by MNF chief Laldenga, the Union home secretary, and Mizoram's chief secretary. The ex-fighters also objected to the chief minister's claim that the Centre could alter the ILP without state consent, citing clause 8 of the accord. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Tags: Inner Line Permit, Lalduhoma, Mizoram peace accord, MNF, Zoram People's Movement Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ex-mnf-fighters-tell-mizoram-cm-to-quit-over-peace-accord-remarks/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
