Archbishop of Delhi opposes anti-conversion legislation

'Christian community is not in favour of any anti-conversion legislation'

New Delhi: Archbishop of Delhi said on Thursday that the Christian community is not in favour of any anti-conversion legislation and called the ‘Ghar Waapsi’ campaign a “threat” to peace and harmony.

“Conversion is a matter of choice and is guaranteed by the Constitution. Why do we need a separate bill for ensuring ‘Freedom of religion’ or banning conversions? Christians are not in favour of any such law,” Archbishop Anil Couto said.

“The fact that people are being offered BPL cards and other privileges within the domain of government adds to our fear," he said.
