Union minister Giriraj Singh on June 10 asserted that there was a need for an anti-conversion law that was applicable to the entire country.
The firebrand BJP leader, who is also considered a detractor of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, expressed his views barely a couple of days after the latter had ruled out the need for any such legislation in the State.
“There should be a law against dharmantaran (religious proselytisation) across the country,” quipped Mr. Singh when he was approached by journalists with a query on the need for an anti-conversion legislation.
