According to sources in ZoRO General Hqrs,Aizawl, Mizoram, Peoples' Conference Party of Mizoram and Zomi National Congress Manipur jointly organized the 1st World Zo Reunification Convention on May 19-21, 1988 at Champhai, which is always called "Zo Khawpui", and where the generic name of 'Zo' coined by different writers was deliberated for naming the Zo nation and hence instituted "Zo Reunification Organization" for their social, cultural, economic, spiritual and political affinity.
In this convetion, different Zo-folks coming from different parts of the world adopted a joint resolution to unify all the Zofate(sons of Zo) within the Constitution of India in the Convention, sources said.
Sources went on to point out that the Zofate (Sons of Zo) are under tripartite divisions of India, Myanmar and Bangladesh during the British period.
Realizing that it is in the UNO where they have to raise their aspiration for reunification and not within the framework of Indian Constitution since it is not appropriate to make approach for resolving the issue of one country under the supervision of one political party, they resolved to go headway under the banner of N.G.O.and hence the 2nd World ZoRO Convention was convened at Vanapa Hall, Aizawl in July 1991 where a fresh ZoRO (Zo Reunification Organization) was instituted thereby keeping it aloof from any political party keeping in mind the decision of the Chin-Lushai Conference of 1892 at Fort William in Kolkata.
Hence, ZoRO, acted from different angles as an independent organization for reunification of all Zofates and participated in sessions of World Indigenous Peoples under the auspices of UN viz., UNWGIP, UNPFII, EMRIP and other seminars and trainings conducted in respect of the rights of the Indigenous Peoples of the World.
It continues to participate in such sessions from 1999 till date.
Therefore, ZoRO does not feel it imperative, as of now, to conduct Convention of all Zofates since it finds no other compelling issues, said the ZoRO General Hqrs.
