Nagaland BJP unit has decided not to observe ‘Digital India’ on April 14 since the day falls on Good Friday, saying it is an important sacred day of Christians.
State BJP further appealed to the Central government to avoid holding events on important Christian days or any other important days of other religion,
Appreciating the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold the Digital India Day, BJP unit said the Digital India campaign launched in July 2015 was to ensure that government services are made available to citizens electronically by improved online infrastructure and by increased high speed Internet connectivity even in rural areas.
BJP unit at the same time said it was also very important that the sanctity of religious days are also observed and maintained in the true secular character and traditions of the constitution.
The party further greeted the people “a blessed Holy weekend and Happy Easter”.
