Uttar Pradesh Assembly Passes Anti-Conversion Law by Voice Vote

UP Governor Anandiben Patel had promulgated the legislation exactly three months ago in November.

The Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Bill, 2021 was passed by the UP Assembly on Wednesday, 23 February, by a voice vote.

The Opposition demanded that the Bill should be sent to the select committee.

The Congress’ Aradhana Mishra said that marriage was a private matter of an adult individual and the new law was an infringement of one’s fundamental rights.
