No conflict between BJP and RSS over conversion: Venkaiah Naidu

Hyderabad, Dec 22 (IBNS): Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) M Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday said that there was no conflict between the party and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) over the issue of religious conversions.

Naidu said that that RSS chief Mohan Bahgwat had said the people who were converted into other religions have got the right to be re-converted and return to the folds of Hinduism, media reports said.

The minister said that the central government would not forcibly and unilaterally bring a law to ban conversions.

Claiming that conversions and re-conversions used were nothing new as they used to happen even before Independence, he said that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had nothing to do with it.

“The government is not getting involved either in conversions or reconversions. The BJP has nothing to do with it,” he said.
