Politicos react as Adityanath says Akhilesh govt should bring anti-conversion law

New Delhi, Dec 16 (ANI): Politicos react as BJP MP Yogi Adityanath said that UP government should come up with an anti-conversion law if it disapproves of the forthcoming "ghar wapsi" event in Aligarh.

Congress leader Manish Tewari said that it’s a shame for the country that issues like religious conversions are the topics of debate in today's India. JD (U) leader KC Tyagi said that religion should be a subject to an individual and no force should be put on any person over the same.
