On the other hand, Leader of Opposition in the State Legislative Assembly, Dr. Mukul Sangma have also expressed concern over the church attack.
“What is happening in this country? Are we forgetting the strength that we draw as a Nation from its linguistic, cultural & religious diversity – the unity in diversity that laid the foundation for strong modern India,” Mukul tweeted.
