Forced religious conversion ‘very serious’ matter: Supreme Court

Terming forced religious conversion a "very serious" issue, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre to step in and make sincere efforts to check the practice. It also warned a "very difficult situation" will emerge if forced religious conversions are not stopped. A bench of Justices M R Shah and Hima Kohli asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to enumerate measures to curb the practice through allurement. Sincere efforts are to be made by the Centre to stop forced conversions.
