Togadia pushes for anti-conversion law

Top VHP leader Pravin Togadia today called for enacting an anti-conversion law and criticised political parties for disrupting Parliament over the issue of religious conversion.
"At one point of time, the entire world was Hindu, but now there are just 100 crore Hindus. Currently, 82 per cent of the population in India consists of Hindus. If we don't create awareness and take steps (to stop conversion), in a few decades this number will drop to 46 per cent," he claimed.
The VHP International Working President was speaking at a 'Hindu Sammelan' organised here as part of the right-wing organisation's golden jubilee year of formation.

"If conversions are wrong, then why political parties are not passing an anti-conversion law?" asked Togadia.
He criticised leaders of those political parties which had been disrupting Parliament over reports of conversion in Agra recently.
Togadia reiterated the VHP's long-standing demand for construction of a grand Ram Temple at Ayodhya, saying the issue is linked to the "honour" of the majority community.
