<h1>Arunachal Pradesh Faces Tensions Over Freedom of Religion Act; Calls for Dialogue and Feedback on New Rules</h1> The Arunachal Indigenous Tribes' Forum (AITF) has urged restraint amid tensions over the Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act (APFRA), 1978, as new rules are being framed. Protests by the Arunachal Christian Forum (ACF) and rallies by the Indigenous Faith and Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh (IFCSAP) have heightened tensions, with the ACF arguing the law discriminates against Christians, while IFCSAP supports it for preserving indigenous culture. The AITF calls for constructive dialogue and public feedback on the draft rules. The state government, led by the Chief Minister, emphasizes the rules are not targeting any religious group but aim to protect indigenous beliefs.
