Karnataka to Withdraw Anti-conversion Law

The Siddaramaiah-led government in Karnataka decided to repeal the controversial anti-conversion law passed during the previous BJP regime. The state government arrived at the decision after the cabinet meeting.
This came after the Congress government hinted to review decisions taken under the earlier BJP rule, including one to look into any land allotments made to right-wing groups under their regime and others such as textbook revisions and the hijab ban.
The Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill, 2021, or anti-conversion bill was passed in September 2022 in the Karnataka Legislative Council, when the then opposition Congress had staged a walkout.
The withdrawal of this controversial law was also mentioned in the Congress' manifesto before assembly elections in the southern state.
