Bengaluru (Karnataka) – The BJP Government passed the Anti-Conversion Bill (‘The Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill – 2021’) with a majority in the Karnataka Assembly. Congress, in an attempt to strongly oppose the Bill, termed it as ‘anti-people’, ‘inhumane’, ‘unconstitutional’, ‘anti-poor’, and ‘tough’; however, the Congress failed to block the Bill.

According to the Bill, a religious converter will have to give one month’s notice to the concerned authorities regarding the location and the date of the scheduled conversion. The Police will then conduct an inquiry into the motive, purpose and cause of such conversions.
