New Delhi: Opposition parties on Thursday accused the government of pursuing communal agenda, prompting treasury benches to hit back by charging them with keeping quiet when Hindus are converted under allurement or coercion.
The House saw heated exchange of words during the course of debate with members of the Opposition and Treasury benches hurling charges at each other.
MIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi said Muslims are not scared of forced conversions and they would continue to follow their religion. He urged the government to rein in certain Hindu organisations.
His remarks that BJP has an umbilical cord attached to the RSS evoked a sharp response from ruling party members. He said how would the two Muslim faces in the Narendra Modi government feel if they are asked to convert “and come back home”.
