Mizo House’s resolution on religious freedom
Aizawl, February 21
The Mizoram Assembly on Friday unanimously adopted a private member’s resolution asking the Centre to take measures for protection of religious freedom enshrined in the Constitution. Opposition Congress Legislature Party Leader Zodintluanga, who moved the resolution, said the minorities had come under severe attack and the rate of religious persecution had increased after the BJP-led NDA dispensation came to power at the Centre in 2014.
He alleged that atrocities, physical assault on minorities and vandalism of religious monuments, including church and mosques, were rampant under the current National Democratic Alliance (NDA) regime.
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) is a “discriminatory law, which seeks to grant citizenship on religious line”, the Congress leader added. — PTI
