Gujarat Congress MLA Imran Khedawala tears up a replica of ‘love jihad’ Bill

On the concluding day of the Budget session in Gujarat state meeting, Gujarat Congress MLA Imran Khedawala tore a replica of anti compelled spiritual conversion invoice. The Congress MLA justified his act claiming that that is simply one other political gimmick by the Bhartiya Janata Party and shouldn’t be accepted.
After Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, the Gujarat authorities tabled a Bill to amend the ‘Dharma Swatantrya’ (Freedom of Religion) Act, 2003. The modification invoice seeks to ban and punish spiritual conversions by impersonation or promising a greater way of life. To increase the scope of the regulation, forceful conversion of a younger girl would invite a jail time period of 5 years and Rs 2 lakh penalty. In the case of a minor lady, the punishment would go as much as seven years in jail and Rs 3 lakh penalty.
Imran Khedawala claimed that he was prompted to tear the Bill because it targets just one group through the use of a phrase like ‘jihad’. While talking on the provisions of the Bill, Khedawala stated, “Home Minister Pradeepsinh Jadeja has solely talked about that the daughters of the Hindu group are focused by males from a selected group. Daughters, be it from any spiritual group, will all the time be our daughters.
