If there was equality, equal opportunity in our society, would religious conversion happen: K’taka CMMysuru: Responding to BJP’s claims of encouraging religious conversion by categorisation of castes within the Christian community in the caste census, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah asked on Saturday that if there was equality and equal opportunities in society, would religious conversions happen. CM Siddaramaiah clarified that if anyone has undergone religious conversion, only their current caste will be considered. He asked why, if there was equality and equal opportunity in Hindu society, would religious conversions happen. The Chief Minister further added that people will convert if inequality exists in Hindu, Muslim, and Christian religions, and conversion is their right. The Chief Minister should ensure that this too does not become a tool used for selfish political gains, as was the case with the Kantaraaju Commission report, he demanded.
