In another instance, Milak’s young man boarded the bus with 30-40 Hindus for the purpose of converting to Delhi. As soon as Hindu organisations learned about this, they stopped the bus and enquired. Police were notified following a dispute. A young man named Shivdesh was arrested by the Police.

Editorial viewpoint

Despite the anti-conversion law in UP, such incidents are taking place. This clearly shows that fanatic Christians are not afraid of the law. Severe punishments should be imposed to stop this !
