The UP ATS busted a conversion racket in Delhi on June 21, which was carrying out the large-scale conversion in Uttar Pradesh. The gang was particularly targeting poor and differently abled people.
The Vishva Hindu Parishad, on June 22, demanded a central anti-conversion law to stop all illegal conversions in the country.
Dr. Surendra Jain, Joint General Secretary VHP, said, “With the arrest of the Conversion-Jihadists from Delhi's Jamia Nagar, it has become unquestionably clear to the whole country how deep, widespread, disgusting, sickening and nationwide the trap-web of conversion is!”
The UP ATS arrested Mufti Kazi Jehangir Alam and Mohammed Omar Gautam from Delhi’s Jamia Nagar on June 21. They were running an organization, Islamic Dawah Centre, to carry out the conversion activity.
Investigations have revealed that they had converted over 1000 Hindus. The vulnerable sections of society like the poor, unemployed, differently abled were their specific targets.
The VHP expressed apprehension that the Islamic conversion mafia would use vulnerable children as “cannon fodders to be spent in terrorist activities”.
They convinced the vulnerable that their religion was the reason for their miseries and if they converted to Islam, it would solve their problems.
Dr. Jain said, “With the entry of Islam in Bharat, the vicious cycle of conversion by force, fraud, and allurement had begun. The trap-web of this conspiracy is nationwide and many more wicked, atrocious and monstrous varieties and types have come to the fore.”
He went on to say that the conversion racket had been at work nonstop even during the epidemic when the entire country was thinking of methods to combat covid.
“During the deadly times of Corona pandemic, the entire country is exercised and mobilized with full dedication to help the COVID-19 victims, but the agenda-led Jihadis and the missionaries are engaged in harvesting converts to swell up their respective folds to impress upon their foreign and domestic donors to rain on the Conversion-Jeevis more and more funds,” Dr. Jain added.
Both the Niyogi Commission and the Venu Gopal Commission had recommended the enactment of central anti-conversion law.
