Punjab Leaders Discuss Religious Conversions, Caste Bias, and Drug Crisis Response
At a Punjab Chintan Baithak in Amritsar, Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney claimed that 25 to 30 lakh people have converted to Christianity in Punjab, attributing this to factors like superstition and inducements targeting vulnerable communities. The meeting, attended by over 40 Sikh religious leaders, adopted a four-point plan addressing unlawful conversions, caste discrimination, and the drug crisis. Sahney emphasized grassroots campaigns against coercive conversions and called for combined efforts to tackle drug supply and rehabilitation.
