Karnataka Govt Passes Anti-Conversion Ordinance | Anti-Conversion Law | Breaking News | India Today

Karnataka government on Thursday promulgated an ordinance to give effect to the anti-conversion bill on Thursday. The cabinet met today to approve the ordinance. The BJP-led government decided to take this route as Assembly and Council were prorogued.

The Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill was passed in the Legislative Assembly in December 2021. It is pending passage in the Legislative Council, where the ruling BJP is one short of majority.

“Because the Assembly and Council got prorogued, we are placing a proposal to promulgate an ordinance in the Cabinet today,” CM Bommai said.

Reacting to the ordinance, Karnataka Law Minister JC Madhuswamy said, "We've taken a decision to go in for ordinance for the anti-conversion law. We will not call it anti-conversion law but Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill. Without any amendments whatever was passed in the Assembly will be made as ordinance. In the near future we are not looking at a assembly session again, we didn't want to keep it in the dark. It doesn't have to go to the assembly, it'll be sent to council."
