The state BJP government is trying to force anti-conversion law on the people through ordinance route to divert the attention of people from corruption and lack of administration.
Siddaramaiah said, I urge Honourable Governor to reject the ‘The Karnataka Protection of Rights to Freedom of Religion (anti-conversion) ordinance, which is aimed at harrassing minorities. Our law is capable of stopping conversion that is forced through incentives and threats. Then what is the need for the new law? The only reason is to threaten and harass the minorities. This is the political agenda of RSS. True Hindus practice harmony & universal brotherhood, and will reject communal politics of BJP. We see constant attacks on minorities whenever BJP comes to power. People of Karnataka are ashamed of this government. The constitution allows individuals to freely convert to the religion they want. There is also a law to prevent conversions. There is police & court to enforce this. So does this mean that BJP has no confidence on the institutions?  Congress will never allow the misuse of The Karnataka Protection of Rights to Freedom of Religion. Our party will firmly stand with everyone those who are threatened by the government.
