The Indian government has reprimanded Mizoram Chief Minister for his involvement in a pact between two Myanmarese rebel groups in Mizoram, emphasizing that state governments do not have the authority to conduct foreign policy. The merging of the rebel groups in Mizoram has raised concerns as it could have security implications, given the ongoing conflict near the Myanmar-India border between Myanmar’s military and rebel forces. The situation in Myanmar is being closely monitored by Indian authorities to assess any potential threats.
