Hiding identity to marry is betrayal, so I am not against anti-conversion law: Cong leader Krishnam
Description
Meerut: “Hiding identity to marry is equal to betrayal. I am not against this law,” said Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam in reply to a media query on his stand on the controversial Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance.“Hiding identity to marry is a crime in both Sanatan Dharma and Islam as well as in law,” said Krishnam, who was speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event to inaugurate a statue of Lord Parshuram in Hatinapur area in UP’s Meerut district on Thursday.Speaking over the “Brahmin politics” in the state, Krishnam said the community relegated politically in the state and the next chief minister in the state should be a Brahmin. “The situation is pretty strange in UP. If we talk about the Brahmins, this is an infection-age for them. The Brahmin community is feeling humiliated. Innocent children of Brahmins were killed in encounters. They are deprived of due political participation. We want a Brahmin to be the next chief minister of UP,” said Krishnam. Attacking the Centre on the controversial farm laws, Krishnam said, “The farmer community rallied behind the government, but the government cheated them. Now, they don’t trust the government. The farmers had raised ‘Modi-Modi’ slogans, but sadly they were cheated. It’s a responsibility of the government to pacify the farmers.”
