AIZAWL, Feb 12: After a
video clip, claimed to be of a
Christian pastor being persecuted
in Rajasthan by BJP
workers went viral, Mizoram
Pradesh BJP has refuted the
charges and dismissed it as
“lies spread by Congress.”
“We immediately inquired
about the video clip with Rajasthan
unit BJP leaders and the
State Government, who informed
us that such an incident
did not take place in Rajasthan,”
State BJP spokesperson Johny
Lalthanpuia said in a statement.
No news media carried the
alleged incident, which strongly
indicated that it was fabricated,
the BJP statement said.
“If you watch the video
closely and listen to the voices,
it becomes clear that the
incident took place elsewhere,
probably somewhere in Latin
America,” the BJP said.
It has become clear that the
video clip was another desperate
attempt of Congress to
tarnish the image of BJP.
The BJP reiterated that the
Constitution of India that provides
its citizens free choice of
religion would not be shaken
under the BJP rule. The BJP
would do nothing to destroy the
principles of democracy in India.
