Need to check religious conversions in India: Singh

Bhopal, Nov 1 (PTI) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has
advocated for amendment of the constitution to check large
scale religious conversions allegedly being carried out by
foreign forces through inducements.
"There is a need to check large scale religious
conversion being carried out in the country through
inducements by incorporating the provision of embracing any
faith before a competent authority...there is a need for a law
which would give freedom to people to choose their religion,"
BJP president Rajnath Singh said Saturday.
India is facing lot of threats from within and outside
and foreign forces are indulged in large scale religious
conversion in the country with an aim to finish India's
strength of embracing all faiths of the world, he said while
addressing the 'Amrit Mahotsav' of senior BJP leader Kailash
Narayan Sarang here.
Singh said nearly 30 per cent population were converted
in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and North Eastern states mainly
through inducements, thereby threatening the demographic
profile of the nation. PTI
