BJP slams Cong for raking up Christian issue in Meghalaya

Shillong: The BJP in Meghalaya on Friday condemned sitting MP Vincent Pala, who is seeking re-election from the Shillong Lok Sabha seat, for allegedly mouthing misinformation. In the run-up to the parliamentary elections in Christian-dominated Meghalaya, the Congress leader raked up the issue related to the community by accusing the BJP and the regional party Voice of the People Party (VPP) of insulting church elders. Terming the Congress leader’s recent statement on the BJP as uncalled for and a misinformation campaign, Meghalaya state BJP demanded that the sitting MP should either give one specific instance of disrespect to the church by the BJP or retract the statement immediately.The state unit of the BJP pointed to the various instances when the Prime Minister himself paid homage to the church and the pro-Christian activities carried out by various state leaders of the party. The party sought to remind Pala, that during a pre-Christmas event organised at the Prime Minister’s residence, Narendra Modi had lavished unparalleled praise on Jesus Christ and his teachings.“Prime Minister Modi had said that Christ worked on making an inclusive society that had justice for everyone, adding that these ideas were a guiding light for the development of the country. Which Congress leader ever paid such glowing tributes to Christ and his divine message? This is a question that BJP wants Mr Pala to answer,” a statement signed by chief spokesperson of the party, Mariahom Kharkrang, said.
