RSS chief Bhagwat says conversions will continue

The campaign to help people of other faiths reconvert to Hinduism will continue, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Saturday, daring political rivals to bring in a law to ban religious conversions if they wanted to stop ‘Ghar Wapsi’. Bhagwat dared those opposed to the ‘Ghar Wapsi’ campaign to bring in a federal law to stop it, echoing comments made by Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah in Kochi earlier in the day. " so-called secular parties should support BJP's move," Shah told reporters, rejecting allegations made by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi that the saffron party was trying to divide the country on communal lines. Calling on all Hindus to “stand upright”, Bhagwat said if Hindus rise the world would benefit and it would give “sleepless nights to opportunists and wrong doers”.
