Current Affairs - State - Discussion

The BJP-led government in Chhattisgarh, under Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, is working on introducing a more stringent anti-conversion law to prevent illegal religious conversions. While the state already has the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Act, 1968, the new law aims to address issues such as conversions through coercion, inducements, or gatherings under the guise of “faith healing.” This move follows political discussions and allegations regarding foreign-funded NGOs involved in conversion activities. The new law is intended to enforce stricter legal actions against unlawful conversions in the state.
