With a clear majority in the Karnataka Legislative Council for the first time, the ruling BJP is set to get the controversial Karnataka Right to Freedom of Religion Bill (popularly called the anti-conversion Bill) cleared in the session starting on Monday.
The government had tried to move the Bill before the Upper House in the winter session at Belagavi in 2021 after it was passed by the Legislative Assembly, but had not done so amidst protest from the Opposition benches. The government had also not moved the Bill either during the joint session in January or during the budget session. It, however, promulgated an Ordinance to give effect to the Bill.
