Calls for more support towards Clean Election
In regard to Clean Election, the house opined that, any amount of planning or circulating Do’s and Don’ts through print media is not helping much, therefore, along with NBCC, every civil societies must come out openly and contribute for the cause of Clean Election. “NBCC is taking the initiative, but it is the duty of every Christians regardless of their denominations to nurture the mindset of our society in the future process of Clean Election,” the house affirmed.
The house, therefore appealed to NBCC through the Kohima Baptist Pastor Fellowship, to request the Naga Christians and every church to assign the pastors and deacons to every polling station to lead in prayer on the day of polling.
