Ahead of the three-day Assembly session that will begin on December 28, the Madhya Pradesh cabinet approved the draft of MP Freedom to Religion Bill, 2020 in a special meeting chaired by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday. Under the proposed law, forcing someone to convert their religion will attract up to 5 years of imprisonment and a minimum Rs 25,000 fine. Chouhan said, “We won’t allow forced conversions in Madhya Pradesh. Under the new bill, anyone who does it will face a jail term up to 10 yrs and minimum Rs 50,000 fine. Many incidents came to light where minor girls were converted, married & made to contest Panchayat polls,”
