War of words over BJP’s ‘Christian missionary cell’ in Mizoram

 A few days after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) set up a 'Christian Missionary Cell' in a predomantly Christian-inhabited Mizoram, the Assam Christian Forum has questioned the party's motive behind the establishment.
"Those who work for the Dominant Party are formed into a 'Christian Missionary Cell', whose mission will be to collect data about Christian activities and pass it on to their opponents who wish to undermine the unity of the Christian service in the Northeast," said leaders of the forum in an urgently-called meeting in Guwahati, Assam recently.
“Threat to unity is the greatest threat that we see on the horizon,” the leaders noted.
The meeting was attended by leaders from the Catholic Church, Church of North India, Council of Baptist Churches of North East India, Presbyterian Church of India, Lutheran Church, and EFI, among others.
The gathering also took note of "planned effort on the part of the ruling dispensation to divide existing Christian communities". "Dissent is being systematically sponsored, fragmentation is encouraged, irritant cells are being planted to as many Church groups are possible," the leaders said.
