Dimapur, June 5 (MExN): The Rongmei Baptist Church Burma Camp (RBCBC) has condemned the assault on Meingandai Gangmei, Pastor of Dimapur Rongmei Baptist Church by unknown persons in the wee hours of June 3 near Faith Hospital, Dimapur. In a press release, Rev. Gaidim Kamei, pastor of RBCBC, appealed to the God fearing citizens to condemn such “senseless act” and further asked the persons responsible to desist from such “ungodly” act in future.
In a separate press release, the Zeliangrong Baptist Churches Pastor Fellowship (ZBCPF), Dimapur also condemned the assault. The release from ZBCPF Dimapur Chairman, Hegui Pame appealed to all the right thinking citizens and church organisations to condemn the incident. It also urged upon the law enforcement agencies and competent authority to take prompt action against the miscreants and punish according to the provision of the law of the land.
The Rongmei Council Nagaland (RCN) has also condemned the assault and demanded the authority concerned to immediately investigate and identify the miscreants and take swift action against them. “It is a senseless and barbarian act,” RCN stated in a press release, asserting “the attackers must be brought to justice to awaken their consciousness.” Citing that the Scriptures strongly lambast those who use violence against the helpless and harmless, RCN in the release issued by its President, Chingkhiulung called upon all sections of people to condemn such “undisciplined and diabolical act of the perpetrators against innocent church leaders.” RCN also prayed for the pastor who sustained injuries to recover soon and continue with his ministry.
