Some Lesser Known Facts About Lalduhoma

Lalduhoma is an Indian politician and a former Indian Police Service officer. Lalduhoma is the founder and president of the Zoram Nationalist Party, a regional political party in Mizoram. In December 2023, he became the 6th Chief Minister of Mizoram.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts from North Eastern Hill University (Nehu) in Shillong, Meghalaya, in 1976. During that time, he was also employed at Chief Minister C. Chhunga’s office and attended the college during the evening. He worked as an assistant in the chief minister’s office up until 1977.

Before he pursued his graduation, he was already married to Liansailovi and had children so he spent his free time making books, making chalet tiang, collecting water bottles and doing whatever he could to earn more money while pursuing graduation.

After graduation, he started preparing for the Indian civil services examinations in Shillong and passed it in 1977. He was first posted to Delhi. After completing his one-year training in Delhi, he was posted to Goa as a squad leader to crush lawbreaking hippies and smugglers. To do that, he decided to live like a hippie and stay among them for some time. He lived with the hippies and spent his days doing the activities as they did for a month and finally was able to catch them. His bold approach grabbed the attention of numerous national media outlets, earning him significant recognition.

Due to his stint in Goa, Lalduhoma was given a promotion, and he became the Deputy Commissioner of Police and was transferred to serve as security in charge of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in New Delhi in 1982.

In 1982, he was appointed as the secretary of the organising committee of the 1982 Asian Games; Rajiv Gandhi was the chairman was the chairman.

In 1984, he left the Indian Police Service to become a politician and joined the Indian National Congress. According to Lalduhoma, the major reasons for his resignation were to free Mizoram from the slavery of conflict to free Mizoram from poverty and to create Economic Independence through the New Government System. Later, he was called upon by Indira Gandhi’s ministry to resolve the insurgency by negotiating with the Mizo National Front (a regional political party formed to revolt against the Government of India aimed at establishing a sovereign nation-state for the Mizo people) leader Pu Laldenga. ^[8]Times of Mizoram

He convinced Laldenga to have peace talks with the Indian government when he visited him in London. Additionally, he compelled Laldenga to convey to the Mizo people that the Indian National Congress was the key player in the peace process.

In 1984, after the Indian National Congress won 19 of the 30 seats in the Mizoram assembly, there were speculations that it was Lalduhoma who convinced MNF leader Laldenga to influence people and convince them to vote for Congress. In an interview, when the chief minister, Lalthanhawla, was asked whether the rumours were true or not he did not deny any rumours and said,

Lalduhawma, a prominent member of our party, had gone to London to meet Laldenga and taped an interview with him but the party high command had nothing to do with it.” ^[9]India Today

In 1984, he was appointed as Vice-Chairman of the Mizoram State Planning Board by the Governor of Mizoram at the request of Indira Gandhi. On 31 May 1984, he was appointed as President of the Mizoram Indian National Congress. Lalduhoma actively participated in various national and international forums including Friends of the Soviet Union, Indo-Mongolian Society, and the Iran-Irag Conflict.

In 1984, he made arrangements for Ladenga to return to India. On October 31, Laldenga and Indira Gandhi were supposed to meet in the afternoon, but that morning, Gandhi was assassinated.

In 1985, he led a goodwill mission to the USSR and Estonia and also participated as a resource person in seminars and training organised by the Research and Training Wing of Parliament.

In 1986, he gave up his seat in parliament and his position as president of the ruling party as he was given the responsibility to lead a peace effort to end the two-decade-long insurgency in Mizoram in 1986. He was appointed the chairman of the peace committee established by the state’s nongovernmental organizations and all parties. In recognition of his sacrifices for the cause of peace, he was awarded an Honorary PhD degree by the Viswa Unnayan Samsad.

Later, in the same year, he quit the Indian National Congress and due to that, he became the first Member of Parliament to be disqualified under the anti-defection law in India.

In 1986, Lalduhoma formed the Action for Peace Committee with the backing of the Students’ Joint Action Committee and many political parties. Lalduhoma found out that the state administration was the reason behind the postponement of the peace negotiations when he was in New Delhi; therefore along with his committee, he organized public protests in early June and a widespread hunger strike on June 23 to demand the resignation of the entire ministry. The protests forced peace negotiations, which resulted in the signing of the Mizoram Peace Accord on June 30.
