HASSAN, KARNATAKA : Pejawar seer Vishwaprasanna Theertha Swamiji’s demands for more stringent laws on religious conversion and cow slaughter have stirred a debate in Karnataka.

The state’s ruling BJP government has already enacted and implemented the controversial Anti-Conversion Act and Anti-Cow Slaughter Law.

A delegation of Christian religious leaders have made a submission to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai regarding the withdrawal of the Anti-Conversion Act.

The opposition Congress has said that the two legislations will be repealed if it comes to power following the Assembly polls this year.

However, the influential Pejawar seer during his visit to the Raghavendra Mutt in Hassan on Monday alleged that though the government has enacted the legislations, incidents related to the two issue are still taking place.

“The government should give special attention to make the laws in this regard more powerful,” he said.

“The governments are enacting laws as per the demands of the people. But, these are becoming an eye wash. There is a need to implement the law in this direction in its true spirit.
