Anti-conversion bill: Archbishop writes to CM Basavaraj Bommai again

BENGALURU: The archbishop of Bengaluru, Reverend Peter Machado, shot off another letter to chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, requesting him not to table the anti-conversion bill at the winter session.

During his visit to TOI office, Bommai had said they will table the bill notwithstanding protests from the Christian community.

In his letter, Machado said: “The entire Christian community in Karnataka opposes the proposal of the anti-conversion bill ...and questions the need for such an exercise when enough laws and court directives are in place to monitor any aberration of the existing laws.”

He also requested the CM to withdraw the order to conduct a survey of Christian missionaries, institutions and establishments in the state.
