Investigation of UP Religious conversion module should be handed over to NIA, demands HJS

The tentacles of religious conversion spread to Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana and Kerala !

Following the arrest of two Maulavis in Uttar Pradesh for carrying out religious conversions of one thousand Hindus, recently the investigation revealed that the two were being funded by Pakistan’s covert organisation, ISI. In addition, it has been discovered that the tentacles of this religious conversion module have spread to Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana and Kerala too! In the recent past, four women and a few men from Kerala had joined ISIS; all these were converts. Since this whole religious conversion module is linked to terrorism and ISI, a thorough investigation should to be carried out by NIA, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has demanded.

In the past too, after the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested two persons from Dr Zakir Naik’s Islamic Research Foundation that has been banned by the Centre, it was discovered that the duo had carried out religious conversion of 700 Hindus. The conversions were done either by enticing or brainwashing the victims. Today, several Indian states have passed laws against religious conversion; yet, if anti-national activities are being carried out through religious conversions across the country, and terrorism is being propagated, then the Modi government should form a nationwide, stringent anti-conversion law to put a stop to such incidents.

Those involved in the conspiracy of religious conversion were being funded by ISI and other like-minded organisations from across the world. The Uttar Pradesh government has declared that it will seize the properties of all such people and try them under the National Security Act. We welcome this move. The Centre should also enact similar steps across the country, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti’s Shri Ramesh Shinde has demanded.
