Government should enact anti-religious conversion law to put an end to religious conversion through force or inducements, said Pejawar Mutt seer Sri Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Swami Ji in Udupi on Thursday.
Regretting the death of four persons of a family after what is said an attempt to convert a woman in Mangaluru on Wednesday, the swamiji said that attempts to convert people through force or inducements will lead to discord in families and in society.
“The government should bring in a law to bar forcible conversion,” he said.
Condemning the action of the State Government in providing eggs to students in schools, Sri Vishwaprasanna Tirtha said that the government should not try to force a change in food habits of children.
Schools are meant to provide education and not to change children’s food habit. If the government wants to provide eggs to children, it may provide equivalent money to those who consume it. The government should stop open distribution of eggs in schools, he said.
