Nagaland BJP unit has refuted the claims made All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary in-charge for Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, Dr. K. Jayakumar, over the rise in attacks on religious minorities like killings and burning of Churches in India. In this regard, BJP media cell has asked Dr. Jayakumar “to produce specific proofs of where and when it occurred.”
BJP said Dr. Jayakumar should apologise to the people if he failed to produce facts, rather than speaking vaguely to fool and mislead the public.
BJP unit reminded all that its stand and agenda is for development and development for all.
BJP unit also reminded the Congress that it was the BJP government which had created the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Ministry of Minority Affairs and the Ministry of Department of North East Region.
“The Congress agenda is to divide and rule and during the Congress rule the minorities, OBC especially Tribal people suffered untold miseries and still remain backward,” BJP unit stated. It was the BJP that declared “the uniqueness of Naga history” and was sincere for Naga political solution, the unit said.
With regard to Good Governance day, which is observed on former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birthday (December 25), the BJP unit said one cannot change the date though it coincided with the Christian festival (Christmas day). It however, said Christian dominated states observed Good Governance day either before or after Christmas day.
BJP has appealed to the people to have confidence in the Constitution of India which guarantees protection and freedom of religion or faith to every citizen.
BJP further said that the AICC official, despite Congress ruling Nagaland for several years, had openly admitted their misrule in Nagaland. Therefore, BJP has appealed to the people of Nagaland to give a decisive mandate to BJP in the coming 2018 Assembly elections.
