The contentious “anti-conversion Bill” was passed by the Karnataka Assembly on Thursday amid din, with CM B Bommai terming it as constitutional and legal, and aimed at getting rid of the menace of religious conversion.

Opposing the Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill, 2021, the Congress dubbed it “anti-people”, “inhuman”, “anti-constitutional”, “anti-poor” and “draconian”.

It urged that the Bill should not be passed for any reason. The JD (S) too expressed its opposition to the Bill, which was introduced in the Assembly on Tuesday. The Bill provides for protection of right to freedom of religion and prohibition of conversion by misrepresentation, force, undue influence, allurement or any fraudulent means. — PTI
