According to Mahisagar’s District Collector, 29 people have applied for conversion permission. Due to the State’s assembly elections, these applications could not be scrutinised. As a result, the matter will be investigated and further action will be taken.

Editorial viewpoint

As there is no anti-conversion law in the country, such incidents are occurring. Hindus wonder when will the Central Government make the anti-conversion law ?
