    The present ruling dispensation is basically doing vote bank politics ....Not in line with modern 21 st century enlightened society.. All communities live peacefully contribute best possible and more so Christian community.. Christian institutions.. have contributed.. Education.. hospital .. nursing and of elders .. discipline.. home for aged .. in addition..other talents ...sports etc etc .. All by being under 5 % In population...all India census ... The govt wants more and more poor .. illiteracy etc ..to brain wash .. Create invisible enemies .. bogey of converting... Cover ups for main issues ..

    I wholeheartedly support the peace gathering. Christians worldwide are the most prosecuted community and one reason would be the lukewarm response when we are prosecuted. Nothing can destroy christianity. May the good Lord protect us all. You people are the bravehearts and community would benefit if more like u are there.

    the reason is very simple.....India is not a country that follows rules after 2014....they will bring the rule and then use it as they want.....so if rule is not there the chaddis will not have the guts to touch the noble work done by the christian community....

    Already there is law in force against forced conversion then what is the meaning of another bill on top of it???????…..Is this going to be another amended bill like amended CAA-2019 to target minorities to go back to thier ancestry till Adam to verify at any point they were Hindus then make a fake case against them of forced conversion whether you like it or not?????……..

    Veer, Nagpur... All laws will have to change as the time goes. Only some section of people still stick to the book which was written 1400 years ago, which advocates killing publicly by pelting stones...

    BJPee Govt gives its full support to communal forces to destroy peaceful atmosphere. If there is forceful conversion govt should take action. All the politically backed thugs are highly insecure with no faith in their belief system.

    There are 2 types of conversion: 1.Brainwashing : 2.Threatening.. Each religion has their rubber stamp on it.Rather than involving in such activities, why dont they try yo uplift the people of the religion who are poor and trying to survive. Look at north Africa. Peple struggling to have food..Why not these people go and serve those people who are already in the community?

    Understand this = it's about discrimination against particular community without hard proof of force. This behavior need to be stopped from the government level..... if this is OK today, then they begin putting the fingers somewhere else and it will be too late when you start commenting against this..........look at successfull and peaceful farmers protest.

    Dear Bishop, First- If you are not into conversion why you want to protest? The bill will be only against forceful conversion. The bill is already there in several other states like M.P..there are no problems for missionaries. By protesting, you only allow others to doubt at your integrity. Second- There is threat of spread of Omicron strain in Bangalore. Why you hold protest during this time?

    We have nothing to fear about the bill as long as impending law is fair and just. We don’t operate any hidden underground cells to carry out forcible conversions. We preach in the open ground, our churches and worship centres are open to all communities. We expect the anti-conversion bill to also include prosecution for those making false accusations. Otherwise the anti-conversion law will not be different from the blasphemy law of Pakistan.

    If we do not convert then who are these Dalit Christians ? Why they are called Dalit when they Christians ! Why they are now demanding our leaders to give them equal rights ? Provide justice for converting Dalits ! Did our religious leaders protect us from the injustice caused ever or carry out business at the cost of me .
