The Supreme Court has termed the conversion of religion by intimidation or greed as a serious matter. During the hearing on a petition on Monday, the court said that forced conversions can be not only against the right to religious freedom but also a threat to the security of the country.
A bench of Justices MR Shah and Hima Kohli directed the central government to take strict action against forced conversions. Also asked to file a reply by November 22 on the petition filed regarding the demand of the law. The next hearing of the case will be on November 28.
Petitioner's demand - a separate law made to stop religious conversion
Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay has filed a petition regarding forced conversion. The petition has sought a separate law to prevent such cases of religious conversions. Or an appeal has been made to include this offense in the Indian Penal Code (IPC). It has also been said in the petition that this issue is not related to any one place, but is a problem of the whole country which needs immediate attention.
Court told the Center - to try to honestly
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
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on behalf of the Center said that such cases of conversion are seen more in tribal areas. On this, the court asked him if this is so, then what is the government doing? After this, the court asked the Center to clarify what steps have to be taken in this matter. The court also said that while conversion is legal under the Constitution, forced conversion is not.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, told the bench that it was discussed in the Constituent Assembly in 1950 and the government is also aware of the issue. He said that the government would soon file its reply in this regard.
