The Hindu
AAP chief says it should not be misused to harass people
Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said a law should be enacted against wrongful religious conversion but nobody should be subjected to harassment. He said this while responding to a query on religious conversion during an interaction with businesspersons in Jalandhar.
Mr. Kejriwal said he believes religion is a private matter of an individual and every individual has the right to practise the religion of his or her choice; however, if anyone is threatened to convert or is offered money for conversion, then that is wrong. He said a law should be made against wrongful religious conversions, but such a law should not be misused to harass anybody.
