Kohima, 16 April (MTNews): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator and Advisor for Soil and Water Conservation, and Information and Public Relations, Imkong L Imchen, today asserted the need for the state to maintain a cordial relationship with the centre. Addressing a Press Conference in Kohima, he said all the 60 MLAs endorse the candidature of Dr Chumben Murry and exuded hope that he will represent Nagaland at Lok Sabha.
Responding to the allegations made by the Congress and churches against the BJP party, he said the opinions were untenable and were not in conformity with reality. Imchen alleged that during the regime of the Congress Party many unimaginable atrocities were committed against the Naga people and had even turned the churches into concentration camps. He also pointed out the Congress manifesto to recognize civil unions between couples belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community and said this is against the tenets of Christianity. Imchen added that the BJP party stands against homosexuality and would never agree to it.
The Advisor emphasized that all the 60 PDA MLAs are Christians and would defend their religion.
