SHILLONG, April 2 – With the presidential elections set to take place in July, a Tamil Nadu-based party ‘Samuga Samatuva Padai’ today demanded that a Christian be chosen for the top Constitutional post.

SSP president P Sivakami told reporters at a press conference here today that a Christian President would give representation to the minority within minority as well as those communities that feel “let down”. “It is high time a Christian President was elected so that the minority population will feel secure,” she said.

Sivakami, who is also a prolific writer, is on a tour of the Christian-dominated States of the North East, including Meghalaya, to garner support for the cause. She will be touring Mizoram tomorrow. Asked if the party has identified any candidate, Sivakami said, “A working group will be formed to work out the list of names of candidates.” – PTI
