A BJP delegation representing Mizoram’s three autonomous district councils has urged the Centre to expedite the passage of the 125th Constitution Amendment Bill, 2019, which has remained pending in Parliament for several years.
The delegation met Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai in New Delhi on Friday and sought early action on the proposed legislation concerning the Lai, Mara and Chakma Autonomous District Councils in southern Mizoram.
According to the BJP, Rai said the demand was receiving due attention and that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had been pursuing the matter after assigning him responsibility for overseeing the process. Rai also assured the delegation that a meeting on the Bill would be convened shortly and efforts would be made to facilitate its passage at the earliest.
The delegation, led by BJP legislator K Hrahmo, also raised the issue of financial assistance sought by the Mizoram government for people affected by landslides in Lawngtlai town in May 2025.
BJP Lawngtlai district president Lalhruaitluangi Vandir urged Rai to expedite the release of funds sought for providing relief to families whose houses and land were damaged, besides clearing accumulated debris.
Rai assured her that he would follow up on the matter and take steps to facilitate the release of funds at the earliest, the party said.
BJP Northeast coordinator and MP Sambit Patra also accompanied the delegation during the meeting.
