The Allahabad High Court has issued a ruling emphasizing the need to halt religious congregations that result in conversions.
The court clarified that while the term 'propagation' implies promotion, it does not equate to converting individuals from one religion to another.
This observation came during the rejection of a bail application for Kailash, who is accused of converting several villagers to Christianity. Justice Rohit Rajan Agarwal expressed concern that if such activities are not stopped, the majority population could eventually become a minority.
The case in question involved an allegation that the applicant took several people from their village to New Delhi for a gathering where they were converted to Christianity.
The court highlighted that such conversions, particularly among SC/ST and economically disadvantaged individuals, are happening at an alarming rate across Uttar Pradesh.
The bail application for Kailash was denied, with the court referencing statements from the investigation that revealed Kailash's involvement in these activities. He faces charges under Section 365 (abduction) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/5(1) of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, stemming from a 2023 incident where villagers were allegedly taken to Delhi and converted.
The court stressed the importance of addressing these unlawful activities to prevent the potential demographic shift in the country's population.
