CHANDIGARH: The Haryana authorities on Friday launched a invoice within the state meeting towards non secular conversion by means of drive or fraud, triggering an opposition uproar.
Speaker Gian Chand Gupta additionally suspended Congress MLA Raghuvir Singh Kadian for the remaining a part of the finances session for tearing a replica of the invoice within the House.
The Congress members staged a walkout in protest towards Kadian’s suspension.
Home minister Anil Vij launched the Haryana Prevention of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill, 2022, on the third day of the finances session.
After the invoice was introduced, Kadian alleged that it displays “divisive policies”.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar stated there was no point out of any faith within the invoice and it solely talks about forcible conversions.
Congress members then rose from their seats, objecting to some comment by Khattar.
Kadian tore the copy of the invoice, inviting the wrath of the Speaker.
When Kadian stated it was a easy paper, Gupta insisted that the invoice was a authorized doc and requested the Congress member to precise remorse over his act, saying he won’t permit such behaviour within the House.
Gupta then suspended Kadian for the remaining a part of the finances session.
The Haryana Prevention of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill prohibits non secular conversions that are effected by means of misrepresentation, drive, undue affect, coercion, allurement or by any fraudulent means or by marriage by making it an offence.
The invoice gives for declaring marriages, which have been executed solely for the aim of conversion from one faith to a different faith, null and void.
