Kolkata, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday said his government would enact a stringent law against religious conversion, while also implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state as part of measures to strengthen national security and preserve Bengal's cultural identity.
Addressing a programme at Rabindra Sadan to mark the 150th anniversary of 'Vande Mataram', Adhikari alleged that infiltration through the state's international border had contributed to religious conversion, 'love jihad' and demographic changes, posing a threat to West Bengal's social fabric and national security, though he did not provide evidence to support the claims.
