Anti-Conversion Law- This is a disgrace to India and disgusting to the society.
State governments after state governments in India are becoming cruel to Dalits in their administration by passing such barbaric laws like anti-conversion laws to prevent people from choosing the religion or beliefs of their choice.
States such as Tamil Nadu alredy bitten the dust in creating a anti conversion law that is against the very human rights and the anti-conversion law in TN was later revoked what a shame on this Jayalalitha and those involved in such crimes. And now, Himachal Pradesh became a clown state among the clowns who are destroying the dalit's progress and their basic rights.
These leaders and the law makers are nothing but goons and scoundarals of the nation of India and must be funished with highest legal actions for voilating the human rights in India by illegal laws and legal mishandling of the state administration.
They all must go to jail for discriminating and humiliating dalits using anti conversion law.
The governor of Himachal Pradesh state, Shri Justice Vishnu Sadashiv Kokje, has given his assent to the anti-conversion law passed by the state legislature in December 2006. The bill has now passed into law.
Minority groups had expressed grave concern that the ‘Himachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Bill, 2006’ was passed by the secular Congress Party, after similar laws were passed and strengthened in states ruled by the Hindu fundamentalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) last year, report human rights organisation Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW). CSW partner organisation, the All India Christian Council (AICC) is considering a legal challenge to the law at the Supreme Court.
CSW previously reported that Christians faced a fresh wave of harassment by Hindu extremist groups after the bill was passed. Further attacks have subsequently takenplace.
Dr Joseph D’souza, President of the Dalit Freedom Network and the All India Christian Council, said, “It is highly regrettable that the secular Congress government in Himachal Pradesh has chosen to pass this law, which severely undercuts the fundamental right to freedom of religion, particularly for exploited Dalits and tribals.
“The assent of the governor amounts to an endorsement of the discrimination and persecution against religious minorities in that state, which has already begun since the bill was passed on 29 December.”
CSW’s Advocacy Director, Tina Lambert, said, “Hindu extremist groups already seem to have been bolstered by the passage of this law, encouraged by the state-sponsored religious freedom restrictions which are becoming ever more common across India. This is a very troubling trend, and we urge the international community to make urgent representations to the Indian government about the proliferation of anti-conversion legislation.”
