Christian Forum for Human Rights in Karnataka opposes proposed Anti-Conversion Bill

Bengaluru, December 07:As the Karnataka government is taking steps to implement the anti-conversion bill states, the All Karnataka United Christian Forum for Human Rights organised a peaceful assembly to express resentment and disagreement against the bill.

 

 

While talking to the media, the Archbishop of Bengaluru, Peter Machado, has urged the government to withdraw the proposed Anti-Conversion Bill, saying it "will not bring good to anyone".

 

"I have faith in God and faith in the government. The government should know that we are hurt and the feeling of hurt is the feeling that the government does not trust us and that is not a good thing. I request the government to withdraw it (proposed anti-conversion bill) as it will not bring good to anyone," Machado said.

 

 

 

He said that they have informed the government that there is no forceful conversion. "If someone wants to join us, we cannot throw them out and surely we will follow the rules and regulations of the country," Archbishop Machado said.

 

On September 21, Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra said that the government is thinking to bring anti-conversation law in the state and for that, they are reading other states' laws.
