Aizawl: An umbrella organisation major churches in Christian-majority Mizoram has urged its members to organise mass prayers next week so that the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is defeated in Parliament.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Mizoram Kohhran Hruaitute Committee (MKHC) made the appeal to its 16 constituent churches to offer mass prayer during the night service on February 16 so that the Bill is not introduced in the Rajya Sabha or, even if taken up, is not passed.
The MKHC statement said the bill is harmful for the survival of the Mizos and is against the principle of secularism as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. (PTI)
