Sunday is a day for the Christian community to profess their religion, he said and urged the authority concerned to reschedule the polling date.
A banner with an inscription "We Christians Support Election but No Polling on Sunday" was used during the demonstrations The Meetei Christian Churches Council, Manipur also urged all concerned to hold the election on any day other than Sunday.
