Mr. Prime Minister.. Why are you silent about the Anti-Conversion Bill? : Ex-governor Margaret Alva
Bengaluru: Expressing fear against the attempt to enforce the anti-conversion bill in the state, Former Governor Margaret Alva has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Elucidating on the rising attacks against the minorities happening in Karnataka, she has also objected to the government’s inaction.
In the four-page letter, the Congress leader has questioned the nation’s leader on the country’s happenings and said, “Mister Prime Minister… how can you close your eyes and remain silent when atrocities in India’s minorities are mounting?”
“Your silence Mr. Prime Minister, is misread as tacit approval and encouragement to the ever increasing violence and intimidation India’s minorities are being subjected to. When will you speak up and put a stop to this madness and violence?”
“’ The Karnataka Protection of Right of Freedom of Religion Bill’ has provisions that have been previously struck down by courts and are clearly violative of the Indian Constitution. It makes all minorities, our institutions, practices, services, and charities suspect” she details in the letter.
The Bill is yet to receive approval at the Vidhana Parishad level. The proposed bill intends to take away personal liberties of privacy, religion, marriage, and decision making. Is this the India we have struggled over 70 years, to build? she questioned.
