M Venkaiah Naidu On Conversion

Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday deplored violence against Dalits in the name of cow protection but maintained that their getting converted would not end prejudices, days after his ministerial colleague Ramdas Athawale suggested that members of the community should embrace Buddhism.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu has issued a strong statement on the conversion row, stressing that the Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre doesn't support any particular religion.

Facing opposition attack over the conversion issue, Government today said in Lok Sabha that neither it nor the BJP was involved in such acts and the state governments should take action if anyone violates the law.

There is no conflict between the BJP and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS over the issue of religious conversions, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said on Sunday.
