There has been a demand from time to time to curb this by enacting a law regarding forced conversion. Meanwhile, on Monday, the apex court, while hearing the petition filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, made strong remarks regarding the forced dharma change. The court has said that this is a serious issue. Not only this, it is also against the constitution.
In fact, senior advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, in his petition, has sought strict measures to prevent conversions through fraud and intimidation. It has been said in the petition that if these are not banned, then soon Hindus will become a minority in India. During the hearing in the matter, the Center told the court that it was collecting information from the states on religious conversion through such means.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta sought time to submit detailed information on the issue before a bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar. He said the statutory regime would determine whether a person is converting because of some change in belief.
To this, the bench said, ‘Don’t take it as a protest. This is a very serious issue. After all it is against our constitution. When everyone lives in India, they have to act according to the culture of India.’ The apex court will now hear the matter on December 12.
