Three years after promising to repeal Karnataka’s anti-conversion law, the Congress government is no closer to keeping its promise. In that time, 25 cases have been filed under the law across the state, taking the total tally in Karnataka to 46 since the law was first passed.
The BJP government led by Basavaraj Bommai passed the Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Act in September 2022. In just 2021, over 30 cases of violence against Christians were reported. Many of the victims were Dalit Christians.
