Anti-conversion bill to protect vulnerable sections from 'exploitation through allurement': CM Bommai

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj S Bommai on December 23, said that the Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill 2021, will protect the vulnerable sections like SC, ST, OBC, poor people from being exploited through allurement.

Speaking to ANI, Karnataka CM said, "Vulnerable sections like SC, ST, OBC, poor people have been exploited through allurement. We want to stop that. Bill is as per the law and pro-vulnerable section and we stand by it."

Reacting to Siddaramaiah’s remark on the bill, calling it an 'RSS agenda', Bommai said, "Certainly, there is nothing to hide. He himself had printed the Bill and signed the draft. He is a part of it. He approved the RSS agenda in 2016 itself."
