Again, the reply to Nagaland BJP

Z. Lohe [dropcap]B[/dropcap]e it Nagaland BJP or any political party, it is expected to be well informed about the antecedents of whom it attacks. Informing Nagaland BJP that I am never a preacher, and yet, it does not disqualify me from asserting my religious rights and from being proud of what I believe. Not worth to be called politician, and yet, yes I am by profession. My political life is an open book and I never ever thought of myself to be of good integrity. I am cock sure whoever prepared BJP’s rejoinder must have unquestionable personality and must have won more Assembly elections than what I have achieved. In this respect, I dare not argue except that I, knowing myself, never attempted to be at national level as assumed by BJP. There is also no argument on the political track records of mine. It is also indicative that Nagaland BJP members are political virgins right from Ram or Shiva and not defectors like me from other political parties.I am not aware indeed that my association with NTC as one of the Advisors and my periodical participation in ACAUT activities used to irritate Nagaland BJP. It is also a new culture of Nagaland BJP, which is alien too, that a member of a political party is debarred from voicing social issues. Yes, much to the discomfort of many, I will continue to associate with NTC and ACAUT in their activities as these organisations have been shouldering responsibilities for the suffering common man which political parties including Nagaland BJP dared to tread. Therefore, will it not be better to let NTC and ACAUT give its judgement on my performance and Nagaland BJP can follow it up? I did not talk about persecution of Christians by Hindus in Nagaland. Such persecution will not happen directly or easily in Nagaland except the psychological, educational and linguistic treatments. What I said about Christian persecution by BJP’s pillar organisations as RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, etc. is as NBCC, Catholic and other Christian leaders mentioned those to PM Modi this time in Nagaland. Better not sidetrack. Will I be scared to spell out what I am convinced when BJP is promoting Hinduism through its political power at the cost of Unity in Diversity? Is BJP mandated with unbridled powers to harass and persecute Christians in India? Are religious minorities like Christians banned from speaking the truth? Does Nagaland BJP consider persecutions of Christians by Hindu organisations in the country do not hurt or Christians should not feel hurt by such communal acts, and whereas my assertion hurts. The Christian majority in Nagaland never persecutes Hindu minority and thus we have the peaceful coexistence for decades together. Hurting or not I continue to say that my God Jehovah is Superior to Hindu gods. What does Nagaland BJP say when Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj insisted to officially accept Bhagavad Gita as the national scripture? Once Hindu book Gita is made the national scripture, it implies one religion one nation. On the strength of the official declaration, more persecutions may follow. Why BJP PM Modi and his colleagues take more interest in the spread of Hinduism more than the Hindu religious leaders? Congress is comprised of people from all religious backgrounds, but none talks about religion apart from politics. In Nagaland, roles for Church leaders and politicians are drawn and there is no confusion. Constitutionally speaking, India is a secular nation, but BJP is now giving a theocratic treatment practically. When I said BJP plays two games at a time. It promotes its politics though Hinduism and promotes its Hinduism through politics. This is how BJP becomes communal. This is true and it has hit the jack pot. All what I have said are my personal observations and not on behalf of anybody.
