NBCC hails ban of Da Vinci code in Nagaland

Kohima, May 24 (UNI) The Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) has appreciated the decision of the Nagaland Cabinet to ban the novel 'Da Vinci Code' and issuance of an 'advisory' not to distribute and screen the film.

In a statement here today NBCC Secretary Rev L. Kari Longchar pointed out to the Union government if a cartoon of 'Muhammad' could offend the Muslims, a distorted story or the screening of the film would cause much greater damage to the sentiments of the Christians.

The NBCC said the Christians in the state would get hurt by the film.
