The conversion of the 57 Muslim families into Hinduism in Agra on Monday by the Bajarang Dal and the Dharma Jagaran Samanvay Vibhag activists is creating havoc in the parliament and in the political circles. Both these organizations performed the conversion ceremony at Agra on Monday calling it 'Purkhon ki ghar vapsi' (coming home of the ancestors).

 

According RSS regional chief Rajeshwar Singh, more than 200 Muslims were brought back to Hinduism in this mass event and nearly 5,000 more Muslims and Christians will be converted into Hinduism at a grand ceremony to be held at Maheshwari College in Aligarh city on December 25th that is on the Christmas day.

 

However, those converted into Hinduism on Monday have taken a ‘U’ turn on the very next day. They argue that they were misled by the Bajarang Dal assurances of getting registered as BPL (below poverty line) families to avail various welfare schemes launched by the NDA government.

 

Obviously, opposition parties in both houses of the parliament, which never bothered to talk about the conversion of poor Hindu people into Chrisitian relegion, have strongly protested this incident and demand an explanation from the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They demand the government to take severe action on the Hindu activists indulged in such acts.

 

However, the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that the concerned state government has to take care of Law and Order situation and not the Centre. He said an FIR has been filed by the UP government on the issue. So, Modi government seems to be not interested to  interfere in this controversy. But, it is providing scope to the opposition parties to paste the communal tag to BJP led NDA government.
