Mass prayer in
Mizoram
churches to
oppose CAB
AIZAWL, Feb 10: Special
mass prayer was held in
churches across Mizoram for
the defeat of the Citizenship
(Amendment) Bill (CAB) in
the Rajya Sabha, Presbyterian
church’s Mizoram Synod
sources said on Sunday.
Members of 16 major
churches of different denominations held prayers on Saturday night.
The appeal made by the Mizoram Kohhran Hruaitute
Committee (MKHC), a conglomeration of leaders of major churches, had asked the local churches of all denominations to pray so that the Bill
gets stalled in the Rajya Sabha.
A press statement issued by
MKHC said that the Bill is
“harmful” for Mizoram and
Christians.
“Passage of the amendment
Bill can result in suppression
of the freedom of religion and
is against the spirit of secularism,” the MKHC statement
said. – PTI
