scorpio90 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Christians not in favour of anti-conversion law: Archbishop Anil Couto http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/christians-not-in-favour-of-anti-conversion-law-archbishop-anil-couto/ Delhi Archbishop on Thursday said the Christian community was not in favour of any anti-conversion legislation and called the ‘Ghar Wapsi’ campaign of certain RSS-linked outfits a “threat” to peace and harmony. “Conversion is a matter of choice and is guaranteed by the Constitution. Why do we need a separate bill for ensuring ‘Freedom of religion’ or banning conversions? Christians are not in favour of any such law,” Archbishop Anil Couto said in New Delhi. “The fact that people are being offered Below Poverty Line (BPL) cards and other privileges within the domain of government adds to our fear that these elements enjoy patronage from certain quarters,” he said. Under fire from Opposition parties for allowing RSS and its affiliates to push ahead with their conversion and “ghar wapsi” campaigns, the government had last week told Lok Sabha that it was in favour of anti-conversion laws in all states and at the Centre too. Five states including Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Odisha — currently have anti-conversion laws. John Dayal (the former NAC supremo), former National President, All India Catholic Union alleged that the proposal for a law against conversions was targeted at minorities. He also said that the Christians are disappointed on the government’s move to ‘enforce’ Good Governance Day celebrations on December 25, when Christmas is celebrated. The Delhi Archbishop said that they had submitted a memorandum to Union Home Minister Rajanath Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “listing the discriminations” being faced by the Christian community across the country. So they want conversion to be a one way street. And the supreme court decision in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislaus_v._State_of_Madhya_Pradesh / http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1308071/ case says that religious conversion is not a fundamental right.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Is it" anti forceful conversion law" or "anti conversion law"? Which one is true? Can someone explain?
Gollum Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 How can they support a ban on conversion? Christian missionaries are the biggest converters in this country. Right from North East to South India these people have set their bases funded by foreign countries and using money, threats, kidnappings, torture etc to convert people esp those of the lower class.

asterix Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 That RSS affiliate organisation which did the Agra conversion screwed up... It was a botched job... They should learn from Christian Missionaries how to do the job professionally... Anyway that Agra event was intended to actually pressurise Modi and not for actual conversion... It has exactly served its purpose to corner BJP waste Parliament session...

The way they have transformed the demographics in Odisha, AP, Kerala, North East is unbelievable. Hindus and Muslims are stupid in this matter...khullam khulla sabke saamne dhol bajate hue karte hain and that's why they are caught in the act.
Detonator Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 May be seculars want only Hindus to be converted, to christianity and islam, not the other way around. No response from congress bootlickers as usual.
someone Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 What interesting is that anti-conversion laws is meant to protect the minorities. But here in India, it's the other way around as it will protect the majority population. Thus, obviously these self proclaimed seculars will be against it.
diga Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 What will happen to Dharmendras & Hema malini's of this world if they bring the law? :cantstop:
