Repeal Freedom of Religion Act by Arunachal christian Forum

Repeal Freedom of Religion Act: ACF from Arunachal Times

ITANAGAR, Mar 18: The Arunachal Christian Forum (ACF), highlighting the grievances of Christian community said that there is total discomfiture in practicing their religion due to Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act 1978. The Forum appeals to the Government to rise up to its democratic credentials and repeal “The Arunachal Pradesh freedom of Religion Act 1978”.

Though this Act was not invoked in the last thirty years against anyone, but it still remains a powerful tool in the hands of unscrupulous law enforcers to prosecute any Christian in the state, the Forum said while adding that Christians community is peaceful and law abiding and is making a very significant and noticeable contribution to the development of the state.
