The SDL party has today stressed that politics and religion go together as they get ready to use the Methodist Church conference to go against the draft People's Charter.
SDL President, Solomoni Naivalu confirms that they will ensure that all the Methodists coming to the conference in Suva from tomorrow know why the draft should be opposed.
When questioned on whether this would see the mixing of religion and politics, Naivalu said their stand is clear on this issue.
Naivalu is now hoping that the Methodist Church standing committee will give them the green light to distribute information on why the draft Charter needs to be opposed.
Meanwhile Director of Information and Military spokesperson, Major Neumi Leweni said if the issues to be discussed at the church conference turn political, then it will be a political assembley and police need to look into the matter.
Police Commissioner, Commodore Esala Teleni said he is aware of this development and he will comment later today.
