The Arunachal Pradesh State Assembly, acting on a private motion moved by Wangling Lowangdong, an Independent Member, has resolved that the State Government should take steps to approach the Centre for the repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act from the State.
The original motion had pleaded for an immediate repeal of the Act by the State Government from the districts of Tirap and Changlang where the Act has been in vogue since September 1991. However, the Chief Minister said the Act promulgated by the Centre could not be lifted by the State and suggested that the State could approach the Centre for its repeal.
The House adopted the motion incorporating the suggestion of Chief Minister Gegong Apang and resolved that the State Government should take steps to approach the Centre for the removal of the anti-terror law.
