Amit Shah Raises Religious Conversion Issue in Punjab Amid Community Objections

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has raised concerns about alleged religious conversions in Punjab, promising a law to address the issue if the BJP wins the 2027 Assembly elections. He emphasized Sikh-Hindu unity and referenced Guru Tegh Bahadur's sacrifice. The BJP views this as a message of respect toward Sikhism. However, Punjab's Christian community has objected, stating Shah's remarks risk sowing discord and division among religious groups. Opposition parties have also been criticized by Shah for facilitating conversions.
