“中国你好，印度再见” 米佐拉姆邦的学生抗议公民权法案 [印度媒体]

On Wednesday, thousands of young people hit the streets in different towns of Mizoram to protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. Many of them held banners that read, “Hello China, Bye Bye India”.

本周二，来自印度东北部米佐拉姆邦不同乡镇的几千名年轻人走上街头抗议公民权法案（修正案）。他们中许多人举的旗帜上写道“中国你好，印度再见”

“There is a strong feeling among us Mizos that the India does not listen to us, does not care for us, and favours illegal migrants over us,” said Ricky Lalbiakmawia, the finance secretary of the North East Students’ Organisation, an umbrella body of students’ organisations in the region, which organised the protest rally along with the Mizo Zirlai Pawl, Mizoram’s most influential student body. “So, we are starting to think if it is instead better to seek assistance from China, and have better relations with them.”

“在我们米佐人中有一种强烈的情绪，那就是印度不倾听我们的要求，不关心我们，更偏爱非法移民”，印度东北邦学生组织的财政秘书Ricky Lalbiakmawia说道，该组织作为当地学生组织的一个协调机构与米佐拉姆邦最有影响力的学生团体Mizo Zirlai Pawl共同组织了此项抗议集会。“所以，我们开始考虑转而从中国寻求帮助是否更好，我们与她有更好的关系”



According to the organisers, the attendance in the Aizawl leg of the rally itself was over 30,000. “We have resolved to safeguard our land against oreigners till our last breath,” said Lalnunmawia Pautu, general secretary of the Mizo Zirlai Pawl. “We Mizos will not sit idle if the government turns a deaf ear to our repeated requests to annul the Bill.”

根据组织者的说法，在米佐拉姆邦首府艾藻尔参加集会的人数就超过了30,000人“。“我们已下定决心保卫我们的土地不被外来者侵占，直到我们生命的最后一刻” Mizo Zirlai Pawl的秘书长Lalnunmawia Pautu说道。“如果政府对我们要求取消该法案的多次请求充不闻的话，我们米佐人不会坐以待毙”。



‘Will boycott Republic Day’

“将抵制共和国日”

Mizo civil society organisations said they will up the ante of the protests if the Central government sticks to its stand in “favour of illegal migrants”. “All NGOs will boycott Republic Day if the Union government doesn’t keep Mizoram out of the Bill’s purview,” warned Lalhmachhuana, the general secretary of the Young Mizo Association, Mizoram’s largest and most powerful pressure group, which has in its ranks almost 40% of the state’s population. A protest led by the outfit in the run up to the elections had forced even the Election Commission to shunt one of its officials out of the state. Similar banners had been seen at that protest too.

米佐人民间团体组织表示如果中央政府坚持其“照顾非法移民”的立场，那么他们加大抗议的力度。青年米佐人协会的秘书长Lalhmachhuana警告道 “如果联邦政府不把米佐拉姆邦从法案条款中剔除，那么所有的非政府组织都将联合抵制共和国日”。青年米佐人协会是米佐拉姆邦最大的和最强力的压力组织，成员人数达到邦人口的40%。该组织在选举开始前领导的一场抗议活动曾经迫使选举委员会将他们的一名官员调出本邦。此次集会中也出现了相似的旗帜。

“We have submitted multiple representations to the home minister, the prime minster and the joint parliamentary committee on the Bill, but they don’t want to listen to our feelings,” said Lalhmachhuana. “It means the people of Mizoram are not taken into consideration by the Union government. If that’s the case, we are not also not interested in being India citizens. We better be with China, where the people also belong to Mongoloid tribes like us.”

“我们已经多次向内政部长，总理和法案的议会联委会提交了我们的陈述，但他们不想倾听我们的感受”Lalhmachhuana说道，“这意味着米佐拉姆邦的人民不在联邦政府的考虑范围之内。如果是那样的话，我们也不想做印度人了。我们还是和中国在一起，那里的人们和我们一样都是黄种人”
