The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday criticised the Nagaland Baptist Church Council, accusing it of making an attempt to create “enmity” between sections of society via remarks linking the organisation and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to violence.
The reaction follows a observation by way of the NBCC condemning an alleged raid by way of the Assam Rifles at a church in Nagaland, wherein it reportedly stated the RSS and VHP “advertise and ignite violence”.
VHP president Alok Kumar stated the remarks had been “totally out of context” and didn’t determine any function of both the VHP or the RSS within the incident.
“We’ve noticed a observation issued by way of the NBCC… Totally out of context, the observation accuses the RSS and VHP as organisations ‘that advertise and ignite violence and justify such movements’,” Kumar stated.

“The VHP condemns the averments of NBCC… incorporated in a most probably try to create enmity between other sections of the Bharatiya society,” he stated.
