Parliament to discuss conversion issue; Centre seeks report from UP govt

Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Dec 11, 2014: Fireworks over the issue of alleged forced conversion of Muslims into Hinduism began as a united Opposition attempted to attack the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre when both Houses convened for normal business on Thursday.

 

Congress and Samajwadi Party had earlier given notice over alleged forced conversion in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra by several groups affiliated to the ruling BJP’s ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and demanded a debate on the issue.

However, later, SP leader Naresh Agarwal denied that his party has given any notice for discussion over religious conversion. Janata Dal (United) is also likely to give a similar notice to the Lok Sabha Speaker today.
