Karnataka govt decided to repeal BJP Government's Anti-Conversion Law
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has decided to scrap the law prohibiting religious conversion, introduced by the preceding BJP government in the state in 2022, with the proposal to withdraw being passed by State Cabinet on Thursday.
The 'anti conversion bill' had been passed in Karnataka in September 2022, in spite of objections from the Congress and the JD(S) members, with the Legislative Assembly passing the 'Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill'.
While Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council B K Hariprasad called the Bill unconstitutional, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J C Madhuswamy assured that the bill was within the scope of the Constitution.
Leaders of the Christian community had also vehemently opposed the Bill.

Techie Atul Subhash’s wife, family members get bail in suicide abetment case
Bengaluru: A city civil court here on Saturday granted bail to engineer Atul Subhash’s wife Nikita Singhania, her mother Nisha Singhania and brother Anurag Singhania in suicide abetment case.
The 34-year-old techie ended his life on December 9 in Bengaluru, alleging harassment at the hands of his estranged wife and her family.
According to the prosecution, the three accused appeared before the court.
Subhash had alleged that his in-laws had pressurised him to pay Rs three crore for divorse.
Based on his 40-page suicide note and a one-and-half hour video explaining the situation that drove him to take the drastic step, the police booked the trio, arrested them and brought them from Uttar Pradesh to Bengaluru.
