Yupia, Sep 5: The Indigenous Faith & Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh (IFCSAP) has expressed its strongest resentment over the repeated deferment of the High Power Committee meeting on the framing of rules under the Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act, 1978 (APFRA).
In a statement issued by IFCSAP President Dr. Emi Rumi, the organisation stressed that APFRA-1978 is the only protective shield safeguarding the indigenous faith, traditions, and cultural ethos of Arunachal Pradesh. “Every delay in framing the rules weakens this shield and causes deep disappointment among our people,” the statement read.
The Society also condemned attempts by the Arunachal Christian Forum (ACF) to influence public opinion on a matter that is sub judice, terming such acts as prejudicial and a source of disharmony.
IFCSAP has urged the state government to act with urgency and sincerity by convening the High Power Committee meeting at the earliest and to take a firm and unambiguous stand in defense of APFRA-1978.
“The indigenous people of Arunachal Pradesh deserve the government’s full commitment to protect their cultural identity, traditions, and faith systems,” Dr. Rumi emphasized.
