Act repealed to woo minorities, says Hindu Munnani

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: The Hindu Munnani on Monday criticised Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for her clarification on the repeal of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Forcible Conversion of Religion (TNPFCR) Act.

In a statement, Rama Gopalan, state organiser, said the Act was repealed with an eye on the votes of minorities.

Calling upon leaders of different Mutts to rise against the "danger of religious conversion," he said, "We do not despise other religions. But we will not compromise on safeguarding ourselves."
