DIMAPUR, MARCH 6 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has condemned the discriminatory assault on the minority communities by the BJP government in Assam and has urged them to take urgent corrective action to win back the confidence of the wronged members of the minority communities.
“The seemingly unrelated, but well planned and concerted attack on the Christian community in Assam in recent times by state and non state actors is beyond alarming and deserves utmost condemnation from one and all,” a press statement issued by NPCC communications department said.
While the survey undertaken by the Assam Police targeting the Catholic Church and the call for the removal of religious symbols and statues from missionary schools by the Hindutva organization ‘Kutumba Suraksha Parishad’ is ample indication of the malicious intent of the case in point, the subsequent passage of the Assam Healing Practices Bill 2024, by the BJP government in Assam is a clear giveaway of the identity of the chief orchestrator behind the communally bigoted exercise, the NPCC alleged.
It held that 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.”
“The travesty of the impending disaster being engineered in Assam today is rendered all the way more tragic considering that it comes close on the heels of the devastating inferno of violence authored by the same party in Manipur,” the NPCC claimed.
It has urged the Assam government to take urgent corrective action to win back the confidence of the wronged members of the minority communities, “lest the age old tradition of communal harmony and peaceful coexistence prevalent in the State and the region in general is jeopardized beyond redemption.”
