Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

AIZAWL, Oct 19 - BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma has said the saffron party has never been a danger to the Christian community and would never be so in future.

Addressing party workers at the BJP office here on Thursday, Sarma, who is the BJP�s election in-charge of Mizoram, said all religious communities have peacefully co-existed in the BJP-ruled States in the North East.

�The saffron party has never been a danger to Christians and would never be so in future,� said Sarma, Assam�s Finance Minister and convener of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA). The NEDA is a political coalition formed by the BJP and regional political parties of the NE States in 2016.

Echoing Shah�s optimism about installing a BJP Government in Mizoram before Christmas, Sarma expressed the hope that the BJP would form the government after the coming election to the State Assembly.

Sarma accused the Congress party of using religious sentiments for political advantage, while the BJP wanted peaceful harmony, love and fraternity among all religious communities. � PTI
