What is the content of the bill ?

1. As per the draft, informing complete details of the conversion to the District Magistrate’s Office 60 days before conversion will be mandatory. The Police will verify the intent of conversion.

2. The bill ensures that religious conversion is not done with the use of power, fraudulent conversion, coercion, undue influence or through marriage. If there is anything suspicious in the conversion form, it will be deemed illegal.

Editorial Perspective

Hindus hope that the Union Government brings in this law for the entire country, instead of BJP ruled States enacting it separately.
