Without directly referring to the recent visit of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to Bru relief camps in Tripura, the statement issued by the MPC said Union ministers refused to visit Mizoram but used to call the chief minister to attend a meeting in neighbouring states.
"If the Union ministers wanted to take up issues regarding Mizoram, they should directly come to the state to make on-the spot assessment," the statement said, adding that they wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "explain" why none of his ministers were yet to visit this north-eastern state.
"Lal Thanhawla did not go to Agartala as he received the Union Minister's tour programme only after reaching the Mizoram-Myanmar border Champhai town where he had important programme," the official reiterated.
