Mysuru: Anti-conversion law a ploy to mislead, attract voters - Siddaramaiah


Daijiworld Media Network - Mysuru (SP)

Mysuru, Dec 9: "BJP does not have any issues in its possession at present to snatch voters towards itself. Therefore, it has been raising the topic of prevention of religious conversion act to mislead the voters," analyzed leader of the opposition, Siddaramaiah.

Speaking to media persons, he said that the said law is irrelevant as the constitution has given the right and liberty to choose one's religion and blocking it is against the tenets of the constitution. "If someone is forcibly converting others, in such cases, they can take action. What is the need to ban religious conversions? This is a law being brought against the Muslims and Christians," he felt.

Siddaramaiah said that the BJP government is neck deep in corruption and pointed to the letter of contractors association to prove his point. "The chief minister has questioned whether there was no corruption in my period. He can order investigation including my term," he stated.

Siddaramaiah expressed anger at the false information about differences between D K Shivakumar and him being spread by people and the media. He accused the BJP of being involved with this misinformation campaign for political gain. He asked the concerned to provide proof for the allegations.

On the issue of former MLA Chimmanakatti having expressed his dissent openly for giving ticket in his home constituency to Siddaramaiah, the former chief minister said that his party believes in internal democracy and that whenever such issues are raised, the party finds solutions.

    The ruling party and the Sangh parivar have gone overboard and have been working overtime on this conversion business. They are looking for all possible tricks to trap and implicate the minorities with their master plan. They are trying desperately to divert people’s attention from the real burning issues in the state in the absence of development or progress. Many Goolihattis are coming up in our state and are trying their best with novel ideas and plans to victimise the minorities but I am sure they will fail miserably.

    Everyone knows that this issue of religious conversion is political issue created by BJP for getting votes from one community. I would be interested to see what will happen if Christians closed all their schools and hospitals?. BJP is planning to make the issue of building Mathura temple for 2024 election a Ayodya temple issue is finished now after 20 years of vote grabbing ploy. As for right wing goons, they will go with anyone who pays them.

    The Bible clearly states Unless the Lord draws one to his own there is no room for change. Conversion is never forceful and can never be. If this was so true why these so called people send their children to Christian schools and colleges? Why do you want to use English language, cappuchino coffee, printing press, smartphones? Have you forgotten all these were taught by the Christians. Very proudly they brag we sent our children to study in Europe, US, Canada, Australia, They are all Christian countries. Hypocrisy at its best. You want to use every facility given by Christians and no shame in attacking them. Jesus has the final say and Jesus shall heal our land. Jesus bless us all.

    Hindus are majority for all these years all religions lived amicably. Hindus also know very well there is no forceful conversion. Tomorrow if this news spreads europe and other christian countries regarding harrasing of minorities in India even they start harrassing hindus abroad who have migrated to these countries. this should not happen hence awake and open your mouths against sanghis. remember sanghis never help you in your need times. it is your neigbhours and many christian organisations helping.

    "BJP does not have any issues in its possession at present to snatch voters towards itself. Therefore, it has been raising the topic of prevention of religious conversion act to mislead the voters,". Seven years of BJP rule at the centre and no talk of peoples issues or any semblence of Governance. Headlines Management to divert people attention of the people from the Burning issues facing them. Following the British policy of Divide and Rule. Divisive politics to Polarise people and win elections. These are artificial measures and like Humpty Dumpty will one day have a Great Fall.

    They want to Harrase the minorities in the name of law anti conversion... Just simple is that. No development jobs just wants to rule in the name of Hindutva by wearing suffron shawl to fool the public. They are not bothered or worried about the inflation Fuel price rise essential commodities price rise reduction in interest rate on savings additional burden on TDS mobile recharge taxes.
