Kohima, Sept 1: The Nagaland Legislative Assembly will convene a special session on September 2 to discuss the growing influence of “Devil worship” among the youth in the state.

The decision follows a letter from Naga People’s Front MLA Küzholuzo Nienü, who urged Speaker Sharingain Longkümer to allow a discussion on the matter. Acting on the request, the Speaker admitted Nienü’s notice of “urgent public importance” under relevant Assembly rules.

According to a notification issued by Assembly Secretariat Secretary Khruohituonuo Rio, the subject — prohibition of satanic worship in Nagaland — will be taken up after Question Hour on Tuesday.

In his August 18 letter to the Speaker, Nienü wrote, “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 stressed that the credo of “Nagaland for Christ” obliges public leaders to defend Biblical principles. He also called for a resolution to enact laws prohibiting and preventing satanic or Devil worship in the state.

Nagaland is not the only northeastern state facing concerns over the rise of so-called satanic cult practices.
