Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) president Syed Sadatullah Husaini said the anti-conversion bill which the BJP government planned to introduce in the winter session of the state legislature is against the spirit of the constitution.
He said that conversion of faith by force, threat or any kind of temptation should be opposed by everyone, but people should have the freedom to practice the faith of their choice.
He was in the city on Saturday and met with some Muslim scholars, who drew up a resolution against the Karnataka government’s move on anti-conversion laws.
Syed Sadatullah Husaini also called for the withdrawal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Registry of Citizens (NRC) on the lines of the farmer laws, which were recently withdrawn by the Central government.
