Dimapur, Feb. 13 (EMN): Nagaland state Bharatiya Modi Army (BMA) has expressed anguish over what it termed as ‘mischievous’ write-up circulating in social media with intent to malign its good image and the BJP as a whole.
The write-up mentioned that Naga state BJP president had officially confirmed the presence of standing army of the RSS (Hindutva agents) in Nagaland and that it would mean ‘trouble for true Christian believers.’
Speaking to media persons this afternoon, state BMA president Nego HK Sema, general secretary Kakishe Awomi and state secretary Yambemo Kikon maintained that such insinuation was devoid of any rationale and written with intention to create disharmony and ill feelings among various sections of society.
BMA official clarified that the organisation is a unit of Yuva Swabhiman Seva Samiti- an NGO primarily formed to fight against corruption, ensure quality development and education and also respect freedom of religion.
The officials said BMA is not an ‘army’ in the strict sense of the word and has nothing to do with carrying of arms or martial discipline but rather it is any army of civilians who have pledged to come together and fight corruption, social injustice and inequalities and safeguard public properties. They pointed out that BMA’s main vision is to usher in a corruption free country in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pledge to rid India from the menace of corruption.
They categorically mentioned that BMA is not associated or linked with the RSS or any other Hindutva agents. They even went to the extent of expressing their readiness to dissolve the state unit if ideologies were imposed upon them.
Meanwhile, the officials have appealed to those elected representatives to work together and ensure a corruption-free government and also strive to provide quality development and quality education.
