Anti-religious conversion bill passed in Rajasthan
Jaipur, Apr 07: Amid a noisy walkout by the Congress-led opposition, the Rajasthan assembly today passed a bill for prohibition of religious conversion "by use of force, allurement or fraudulent means".
The Rajasthan Dharma Swatantrata (Religious Freedom) Bill, introduced by the BJP government, was passed by a voice vote after a stormy walkout by the opposition congress and CPI(M) members following 90 minutes of deadlock in the house.
Trouble started with a Congress MLA, Mahipal Singh Yadav, making some alleged derogatory remarks against Hindus. Angry ruling party MLAs did not allow the other members to continue the debate on the bill and also tried to move a motion against Mahipal.
The Congress objected and requested Speaker Sumitra Singh to pardon Mahipal, but the Speaker ruled it out saying it was the "biggest crime" to use such "defamatory words in respect of Hindus and no Hindu would tolerate such things."
