Sena bats for strong anti-conversion law

Stating that poverty and lack of education are being used as tools to carry out conversions, the Shiv Sena on Wednesday batted for a strong law to prevent religious conversions. 

“The work that Hindu outfits are carrying out openly, is being done by Christian missionaries and Muslim scholars silently,” an editorial in Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ alleged. If that wasn’t the case, then lakhs of adivasis and people from poor backgrounds would not have changed their religion,” it added.
