Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee has condemned the BJP government in Assam over recent reports of “well planned and concerted attack on the Christian Community” in the State and urged that it takes urgent corrective action to prevent jeopardizing “the age old traditions of communal harmony and peaceful coexistence prevalent in the State and the region in general.”

Citing the survey of churches undertaken by the Assam Police in 2022, the recent warning given to missionary schools by Hindu group Kutumba Suraksha Parishad and passage of the Assam Healing Practices Bill 2024, NPCC stated that an “impending disaster” is being engineered in the State and “close on the heels of the devastating inferno of violence authored by the same party in Manipur.”

It alleged that it is clear the BJP government in the State is the “chief orchestrator behind the communally bigoted exercise”. “The BJP’s central ideology of exclusionary majoritarianism and the fact that they are incapable of winning any election without causing and stoking communal enmity is on naked display once again,” Nagaland Congress claimed.
