Aizawl: Former Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga, president of the Opposition Mizo National Front, on Friday said that while the MNF was one of the constituents of the newly-launched North East Democratic Alliance, the party did not join the BJP.
At a press conference in Aizawl, Zoramthanga said NEDA was formally launched on Wednesday in Guwahati to reconstruct the Northeast that has been neglected by the Congress.
“The non-Congress alliance will launch a movement to decimate the Congress in the region and bring about all-round development in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Act East Policy'”, he said. He accused Congress of spreading the misinformation that MNF has joined BJP and agreed to the saffron party’s ‘Hindutva’ policy. “Smaller church denominations in the state did not necessarily subscribe to the doctrine of bigger churches like the Presbyterian and the Baptist Churches when they joined the Mizoram Kohhran Hruaitute Committee (MKHC) a conglomerate of major church denominations,” he said. “The MKHC is merely a forum for churches,” he said.
