Bengaluru, Dec 11: A Christian delegation met chief minister (CM) Basavaraj Bommai on Friday December 10 and appealed not to introduce anti-conversion bill.
The meeting took place at the Race Course residence of the CM. The delegation was led by well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist Ronald Colaco. Former MLA J R Lobo, former MLC Ivan D’Souza and Congress president Radhakrishna were in the team. The team also appealed to the CM to resolve the issues faced by the Christian community in Karnataka. The delegation also sought action on the church attacks that are taking place in the state.
Speaking to the media after meeting the CM, Ronald Colaco said, “The ratio of our community has reduced in the past 10 years. Even then, propaganda is made that Christians are enticing others and getting them converted to Christianity. This is not right. We should be allowed to live in a dignified manner in society. We have submitted an appeal to stop the attack on the Christian community. The CM has assured us to resolve all issues.”
It is said that this meeting has taken place as there are discussions that there is a possibility of presenting the anti-conversion bill in the winter session of the assembly.
