Itanagar, Feb 21: Top leaders of Arunachal Christian Forum (ACF) are slated to meet state’s Home Minister Mama Natung on Friday to discuss the issue of Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act (APFRA), 1978.
The Home Minister earlier this week had urged the ACF to suspend their agitation and requested them to meet him on Friday (February 21) in the state’s civil secretariat to discuss their demands.
The ACF has been agitating against the implementation of the APFRA, 1978 claiming that the law, when implemented, would harm the Christians in the state.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday urged the people of the state not to ‘misinterpret’ the APFRA, 1978, for which the rules are being framed following the order of the Gauhati High Court.
As per the 2011 census Christian Population in Arunachal Pradesh is 4.19 lakh (30.26 per cent) of a total population of 13.84 lakh.
The ACF on February 17 observed an eight-hour-long hunger strike at NIIS Nyokum Ground in Borum in Naharlagun Circle to protest against the implementation of the APFRA, 1978.
