Himanta Biswa Sarma said religious conversion through inducement and allurement is wrong<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Guwahati: <\/b><\/p>\n
In a significant statement on religious conversions in the northeast, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said there is a trend of religious conversions observed among many of the indigenous and tribal communities. He said this has led to dilution of their traditional beliefs and practices.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister was speaking at an event in Guwahati to distribute grant-in-aid of Rs 10 lakh each to 18 organisations working for preserving and promoting indigenous and tribal beliefs and culture, Rs 5 lakh each to 73 places of worship for indigenous and tribals, and Rs 2 crore the Garchuk-based All Bathou Mahasabha.<\/p>\n
Mr Sarma said his government is committed to protecting the culture of tribals and that no one should take advantage and convert them to another religion through deceit.<\/p>\n
On Article 25 of the Constitution, Mr Sarma said it gives the right to freely practice, profess and propagate a religion of one’s choice, but it doesn’t authorise religious conversion through inducement and allurement of any sort.<\/p>\n
Mr Sarma said the trend of religious conversion observed among many of the indigenous and tribal communities in Assam has led to dilution of their traditional beliefs and practices.<\/p>\n
Mr Sarma said religious conversions have led to near extinction of many indigenous beliefs and cultures across the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
