Shillong, Dec 27: Christmas is a festival that celebrates the bond of love which unites every living being on Earth. It’s a festival that’s celebrated with zeal and fervour by every community in the nation and holds a special place in the hearts of every Indian, irrespective of caste, creed or religion. A visit to many parts of the country leaves one awestruck at the scale and gaiety of the festivities that are indulged in by one and all on Christmas Day.
Within this backdrop, it’s painful to see a handful of individuals indulging in acts of hate, with the sole objective of disrupting, disrespecting and disturbing the spirit of Christmas and the message of universal love. Such acts go against the very nature of Indian civilisation, attacks every principle, each value that we hold dear and paints an entire nation in a negative hue.
The BJP, as a party, believes in the unity and equality of all religions, holds firm faith in the Constitution of India and stands ready to fiercely protect each citizen’s right to celebrate every festival, in a manner that an individual deems fit. This remains non-negotiable for every member of our party,
There are some, who for narrow political gains, are working hard to establish acts of few petty criminals as orchestrated and planned organisational programs. Meghalaya BJP would like to point out that the Prime Minister himself, along with top party leaders, participates in Christmas Service year after year, 2025 being no exception.
It’s an example that serves as an inspiration for every member of our party. Can the parties who are trying to turn criminal acts into political mileage provide one example of their non Christian leaders taking part in Christmas celebrations?
The BJP Meghalaya stands with every ordinary Indian in demanding that the criminals who have carried out these deplorable acts and have offended the sentiment of every citizen of our nation be arrested, be tried and be punished according to the strictest provisions under the law.
Meanwhile leaders and office bearers of BJP Meghalaya are in constant touch with counterparts in states where such acts have been committed, to ensure not a single individual enagaged in such acts evades punishment said Mr. Mariahom Kharkrang Chief Spokesperson BJP Meghalaya Pradesh in the press statement.
