Karnataka: The proposed anti-conversion bill is likely to be tabled during the Karnataka legislature's winter session, which is now taking place in Belagavi said Home Minister Araga Jnanendra. "A draught of the bill is ready and is under serious review," the minister told before media people.
"It was meant to ensure that individuals of all religions can express their faith "peacefully and happily," he added. The minister stated, "The proposed measure is being prepared within the framework of the constitution."
The proposed Anti-Conversion Law, which the state government plans to introduce in the winter session of the Assembly, will only be used to prevent religious conversions through inducements, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. He told reporters on Sunday that the proposed Anti-Conversion Bill does not pose a threat to the people. The proposed bill, according to the chief minister, will not harm any religion, its customs, or traditions, which are protected by the Constitution.
"The constitutionally recognised religions are Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Sikhism. There would be no impediment to members of any religion worshipping and practising their religion. The bill's sole purpose is to prevent religious conversions by coercion, according to the Chief Minister.
He went on to say that religious conversion is harmful to society. "It should not be taken advantage of by the impoverished and vulnerable members of society." Families face difficulties as a result of conversions. As a result, a measure has been submitted," he added.
