Kummanam Rajashekharan exposes Congress- Marxist double standards on Religous Conversion

Thiruvananthapuram: General Secretary of Hindu Aikya Vedi Kummanam Rajashekharan has sought a debate and discussion at national level, related to the issue of reconversion. He said that the Central government must deliberate on the same and political parties show a willingness participate in it.
 
Stating that it is the government’s duty to safeguard any citizen’s right to religious freedom to revert to his pristine faith, Kummanam called for radical change of laws in order to ensure prevention of any attempt to convert religiously by luring, using force or misguidance. “It is a constitutionally wrong move on the part of (state) government and home minister in portraying the reverting of citizens to Hindu religious fold, as a communal issue. The home minister who stood a mute witness to the large scale open conversion of a large number of Hindus to other religions now seeks to oppose tooth and nail, the ceremonies of reconversion. This is being biased and religous discrimination,” he said.
 
Reiterating that all citizens have a right to revert to Hindu religion on their own, Kummanam said that four Hindu organizations were given rights to initiate the ceremony in 1966, along with certificates affirming their rights. “Till date the government has given official consent to all religious conversions to Hinduism done this way and when subsequently notified in the state gazette. This being reality, it is simply baseless on the part of the state government, Congress and CPM to allege that the recently conducted ‘Ghar Wapsi’ is a heinous crime. “The aim of both parties is quite clear- make political gains by instilling a sense of apprehension in the minds of minority communities,” he said.
 
Exposing the government venture of having set up ‘Converted Christians Corporation’ 20 years ago, solely for around 25 lakh people who had converted to Christianity, Kummanam said that projects running into crores of rupees were set up, for the welfare of those converted. “They still continue to run.

The government which accepted the conversion of those people to Christianity, must clarify to the citizens why it stands so averse to the return of the same persons to Hinduism,” he said.
 
Terming as “deplorable” the Congress Marxist fiasco of joining hands to protest against the reconversion, he said that the present attitude donned by them reflects the very unholy alliance they formed when it came to denying the basic rights of Hindus. Calling for political parties to come forward, in order to evaluate the scenario on the basis of truth and facts, he said that a debate on national level was vital in the current scenario.
