Chakmas decry amendment to exam rules

Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

AIZAWL, April 7 � The Mizoram Chakma Students� Union (MCSU), Aizawl Zone in its special meeting on Monday, strongly condemned the press release issued by the Mizoram government, which appeared in most of the popular dailies of Mizoram in the last few days stating that the State government has amended the State Technical Entrance Exam (STEE) Rules by modifying some definitions in it.

The MCSU believes the government�s step on STEE Rules is a discrimination towards the minority communities of Mizoram, including the Chakmas. The decision to modify or rectify the definitions in the STEE Rules is nothing but a racial discrimination to deliberately exclude the Chakmas from their rightful place in Category-I, it said.
