5.Mizoram CM-elect Lalduhoma: Ex-cop quit IPS at Indira’s request, 1st MP disqualified for defection:In 1984, Lalduhoma, then a young IPS officer, found himself fielding an unusual request. Then prime minister of India, Indira Gandhi, wanted Lalduhoma, the former in-charge of her security detail, to quit the civil services and handle a major task — opening peace negotiations with Laldenga, head of the then insurgent outfit, the Mizo National Front (MNF). Lalduhoma heeded the request — he quit the civil service, which he had joined in 1977, joined the Congress, and flew to London, where Laldenga was stationed. He then managed to bring the militant leader back to India, paving the way for a historic peace accord that would bring down the curtains on the insurgency and bring the MNF to mainstream politics.
