The Congress in Arunachal Pradesh has accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of pushing Hinduism, once again shinning the spotlight on conversions in the state that borders China. State Congress general secretary Minkir Lollen said on Friday Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s hidden agenda was to make Arunachal Pradesh a Hindu-majority state through ghar wapsi. The rich tradition and culture of the indigenous tribes of Arunachal Pradesh are at stake under BJP rule,” he said. The Arunachal Pradesh freedom of religion act of 1978 was aimed primarily at checking proselytization. The Arunachal anti-conversion law, unlike in the other states, has been ineffective because its rules have not been framed.
