Aizawl, Sept 14: Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga attended the closing function of Youth 20 Mizoram Meet on Nationalism, Patriotism and Development organised by the Department of Sports & Youth Services, Government of Mizoram at Pachhunga University College Multipurpose Hall as chief guest on Thursday.
In his speech, CM Zoramthanga highlighted how the Mizo people had been settled here in Mizoram from time immemorial, how Mizoram became a part of India and the development of nationalism in Mizoram since independence.
He further said that it is the duty of every citizen to keep nationalism in mind but the young generation holds more roles in strengthening nationalism for the future perspective of the country.
Nationalism is not the idea of hatred for others but the protection and progress of one own’s homeland, culture and traditions. Keeping this assertion in mind we must go forward, prepare Mizoram a well-developed state, preserve our invaluable cultures and tradition; and make our state a place where all Mizo ethnics can feel their home they can live and sleep peacefully.
