RSS wants anti-conversion law in Jharkhand

(November 8, 2010) The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is clamouring to have an anti-conversion law passed in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand. Jaggnath Sahi the state unit chief of the Pro-Hindu extremist umbrella group told media on Sunday that he will discuss with pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Minister Arjun Munda on the need of formulating such a law. “Conversion in any form should be condemned,’ Sahi told reporters in Jharkhand state capital, Ranchi. He said conversion is banned in many countries like China, Israel and others and “it is only in India where conversion is not banned,” he said.
