The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nagaland unit has strongly condemned the atrocities committed against the Christians in West Bengal wherein a convent was looted and a 72-year-old nun was gang raped. In a press statement, BJP media cell, Nagaland unit termed the incidents as most disgusting and inhuman act, which needs to be rooted out as soon as possible if social fabric of Indian constitution is to be preserved.
The media cell said, such crimes committed across the nation particularly in West Bengal and Haryana by some few self vested persons in the name of BJP is highly condemnable and that central BJP leadership needs to address the issue at the earliest.
Secularism being a vital part of Indian constitution in script in the preamble needs to be protected and preserved, if Indian union is to remain united, the BJP Nagaland unit reiterated.
“Such acts by ultras in the name of religion need to be curbed by the BJP central leadership and the BJP government under Narendra Modi before the BJP as a party become a liability to the people of India, instead of governing India to a developed and an industrialized nation.”
The BJP Nagaland also termed the attack on the churches in Lahore, Pakistan where dozens precious lives were lost as a desperate attempt to damage and stop the growth of Christianity in Pakistan. “These attacks on the minorities have serious implications not only on the religion but it effects the social balance of the country as a whole.”
The party strongly urged the concerned state governments, law enforcing agencies to investigate in a proper manner without any bias so that the truth comes out and justice is assured to the effected people and communities. The BJP unit also demanded that such incidents do not occur anywhere in the country and that more effective and stringent measures are in placed so that religious minorities are protected across the nation.
