Supreme Court of India and UP Anti-Conversion Law
The Supreme Court quashed FIRs against university officials, criticizing the UP law on conversion as an infringement of constitutional rights.
Why This Matters
The intersection of law, religious freedom, and individual rights is a highly charged topic, likely to spur extensive public debate and discussions on social justice.
Public Sentiment Summary
Public sentiment is largely negative towards the UP Anti-Conversion Law, perceived as a violation of individual liberties and a tool for political control, primarily targeting minorities. Many express disillusionment with the Supreme Court's role and the government's policies that appear to undermine secularism and religious freedom, with a strong call for urgent action to protect constitutional rights.
Highlighted Comments
If every country passes these types of laws what about Hindus building temples in other countries like the USA? How is India a democratic country? All these are happening only to consolidate Hindu votes and the BJP come to power.
Every law must be for the betterment of all people, not for the betterment of any individual community, religious or caste.
Freedom of religion is misnomer. The law is intended to restrict rights of citizens.
These anti-conversion laws are against the spirit of Indianess. It is used by right wings to stop freedom of religion.
Pray for minorities in India, these present ruling BJP are goons.
