December 13, 2013, Belagavi (Karnataka).: , Sunil Kumar, the State Minister for Kannada & Culture said Monday that the government will soon pass a law prohibiting ‘Love Jihad” in the state.Suvarna Soudha reporters were interviewed by him.He stated that the BJP had pledged to introduce legislation to ban cow slaughter.It is now in effect.We have made a promise to introduce anti-conversion legislation and we will.He stated that the government will also introduce the law prohibiting ‘Love Jihad” in the country.
Great personalities such as Mahatma Gandhiji or Swami Vivekananda opposed religious conversions.
He said that the matter is now being dealt with and will soon be taken under legal framework.
This is a matter of confusion within the BJP party.
Congress needs to know why leaders oppose the Anti-Conversion bill.We all understand the reasons why religious conversions happen and their consequences for society.
He explained that the act was not done with one community in view.
The party is ready to debate over the issue.”We have been fighting these issues and grew up as leaders.Swami Vivekananda equated religious conversions to conversions of loyalty towards country.
Conversions are being carried out through conspiracy and luring,” he maintained.
Meanwhile, Araga Jnanendra, Minister for Home clarified that there is no proposal before the government of banning Love Jihad.”I don’t know how in which context minister Sunil Kumar made those statements,” he said.
But, anti-conversion law blue print is ready.”We will get the final copy from law department by tomorrow.There is no question of violation of fundamental rights.
Forceful religious conversions are not permissible under Article 25 of the Constitution.However, it is not specified on the punishments of persons indulging in forceful conversions.
We will implement the law in its entirety,” he explained.
