Describing conversion as a very serious issue, the Supreme Court asked the Center to intervene in the matter. At the same time, he also said that sincerely tries to stop this trend. The court also warned that if forced conversions are not stopped, very difficult situations will arise.
Such cases are more in tribal areas
