\nIt was decided on January 19, 2017, at a consultative meeting of NBCC officials and members of ACAUT Nagaland at Dimapur, to work together in order to reach out to the people on the issue.
\nAccordingly, NBCC and ACAUT adopted a five-point resolution\u2014 that the NBCC would disseminate the guidelines of Clean Election campaign to the village and a strong working relationship between the Church and the village authority would be initiated through the association so that a clear set of guidelines between the two will be worked out.
\n2. That, all the pastors, including the church workers such as deacons, missionaries, and evangelists sign the Clean Election Pledge and the same will be administered to all the members eligible to vote.
\n3. That, all the intending candidates should adhere to the NBCC Clean Election guidelines.
\n4. On the Election Day, the pastors in the villages, regardless of the denominations will take the spiritual role along with the village level Clean Election Committee so that the clean election campaign is taken to its logical conclusion.
\n5. The civil societies in every level including ACAUT will support and in this NBCC will tape the strength and force of the youth and the intellectual into the movement.
\nNBCC and ACAUT also decided to hold regular meetings for better cooperation. NBCC further agreed to continue its Clean Election Campaign in the state and grassroots levels by roping in the Church, village authority, women and youth and provide any support to any civil\/religious organization in this endeavour.
\nNBCC lauded ACAUT for taking upon the burden to embark on the awareness campaign by going to the districts and constituencies to raise the awareness. In this regard, NBCC said it would delegate the associations to extend logistic support to mobilize the masses as and when the need arises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
