Nagaland Assembly will hold a special session on September 2 to discuss the impact of “Devil worship” on the youth in the State, as per reports.
Nagaland legislative assembly Speaker Sharingain Longkümer scheduled the session after considering a letter from Naga People’s Front MLA Küzholuzo Nienü, who requested a discussion on the issue.
Nienü’s letter to the Speaker on August 18 read, “…as a Christian State, we need to uphold our religion and be faithful believers and followers of God Almighty. It is truly shocking to see our younger generation embracing satanic/Devil worship openly in total disregard for our religion and the teachings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”
The MLA pointed out that the credo of ‘Nagaland for Christ’ made it imperative for public leaders to stand by the ideals and principles as laid down in the Bible. “Therefore, I urge your good office for a discussion and also for passing a resolution to enact laws prohibiting and preventing satanic/Devil worship within the territory of Nagaland,” he wrote.
Besides Nagaland, another Northeastern state Mizoram has also seen an increase in such practises over the years.
