Kohima : The Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) has come out strongly against the rampant corrupt practices indulged in by both the candidates as well as the voters in the recently concluded Nagaland Assembly Election, terming it as a ‘betrayal to the church’s call for clean election’.
In a statement issued to the press following an extraordinary meeting of its executive to evaluate the impact of its Clean Election Campaign the NBCC also expresses its displeasure on the rampant use of money by the candidates to purchase votes.
This was an insult to human dignity and a betrayal to the church’s call for clean election.
On the other hand, the church body also expressed its unhappiness on the ‘shameless demand of money by the voters in exchange for their votes’.
This is nothing short of selling one’s ‘birth rights’ and a disgrace as followers of Christ, it said.
The Executive Committee of the NBCC has also reaffirmed its commitment and determination to continue the Clean Election Campaign until the desirable goal is achieved. (UNI)
