ACF opposes release of 'Da Vinci Code'

Itanagar, May 23 : The Arunachal Christian Forum (ACF) has taken strong exception to the decision of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to release the controversial film 'Da Vinci Code' in India and urged the authorities concerned to review its decision. In a letter to the CBFC, the ACF said though the film was cleared by the Censor Board after getting green signal from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, the Christian community of the state would not accept the film as it is a mixed bag of fantasy with historical facts.

Such a film, based on any religion, should not be encouraged bacause it could hurt the sentiments of people, the forum observed.

Meanwhile, the Youth Ministerial Organisation Assemblies of God (YMOAG) has opposed the decision taken by the CBFC and urged to stop the release of the film in India.

The organisation termed the film as a religious thriller and said that it was against the Holy Bible.
