Court Orders Immediate Halt of Conversion Congregations

The Allahabad High Court has emphasized the need to halt religious congregations where conversions occur to prevent the majority population from becoming a minority. Justice Rohit Rajan Agarwal made the comments while rejecting the bail application of Kailash, who is accused of converting people to Christianity.

The Allahabad High Court has made a significant observation regarding religious congregations where conversions take place, stating that such activities must be stopped immediately to prevent the country's majority population from becoming a minority in the future.

The remark came from Justice Rohit Rajan Agarwal as he denied the bail application of Kailash, who is accused of orchestrating religious conversions of individuals from a local village.

'The word 'propagation' suggests promotion but not conversion from one religion to another,' the court highlighted. The court further noted that allegations against Kailash included taking villagers to New Delhi, where they were converted to Christianity and some never returned, prompting serious concerns.

The court expressed alarm over the recorded statements showing Kailash's actions, which allegedly involved taking vulnerable SC/ST and economically disadvantaged individuals to these gatherings. The court's decision on Monday underscored the implications of such activities on social demographics and rejected Kailash's bail plea. Kailash faces charges under Section 365 of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act. His actions involved allegedly misleading Ramkali Prajapati's brother for treatment and subsequently converting him and others to Christianity.
