He emphasised that his government will not tolerate misconduct or conversion and will ensure that those involved in religious conversion face the death penalty.
When asked about the provision of capital punishment for those involved in religious conversions, the CM said, “Our government will not tolerate conversion and misconduct. For criminals or those who are involved in religious conversion, we will ensure that they get the death penalty.” (ANI)
