AIZAWL, Feb 10 - Special mass prayer was held in churches across Mizoram for the defeat of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) in the Rajya Sabha, Presbyterian church�s Mizoram Synod sources said on Sunday.
Members of 16 major churches of different denominations held prayers on Saturday night.
The appeal made by the Mizoram Kohhran Hruaitute Committee (MKHC), a conglomeration of leaders of major churches, had asked the local churches of all denominations to pray so that the Bill gets stalled in the Rajya Sabha.
A press statement issued by MKHC said that the Bill is �harmful� for Mizoram and Christians.
�Passage of the amendment Bill can result in suppression of the freedom of religion and is against the spirit of secularism,� the MKHC statement said. � PTI
