India's 12th state plans law to criminalize conversions https://www.ucanews.com/news/indias-12th-state-plans-law-to-criminalize-conversions/105460
Christians face severe atrocities in the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh, ruled by the BJP.
The draconian anti-conversion law was first enforced as an ordinance in 2020 and adopted by the state assembly the following year as the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act 2021.
Since the implementation of the law, close to 400 Christians, including Catholic priests and pastors, have been jailed in the state under the sweeping law.
“We cannot rule out a similar situation in our state,” said a priest attached to the Udainagar diocese in Rajasthan.
