The Hindu
The Assam Christian Forum, representing all denominations of the church in the State, has appealed to the people to vote for candidates who work for an inclusive and secular society and uphold the Constitution.
In the first such pre-election appeal, the forum also warned against the victimisation of people if the Citizenship (Amendment) Act is promulgated. The Act seeks to fast-track the citizenship of non-Muslims who reportedly fled religious persecution in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan and took refuge in India till December 31, 2014. ACF spokesperson Allen Brooks said the forum had in the past restricted itself to canvassing for free and fair elections and seeking jobs and development for the community.More Related News
