TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ “Whether we win or lose… we will not discriminate among people,” Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said at a function organised by a Christian body during which he also made it clear that mass conversions need to be checked across the country. Mr Singh said he supports freedom to follow any religion but was of the opinion that a debate is needed as mass conversion is a matter of concern for any country.
He said as far as the government is concerned there will not be discrimination with anybody. “I have never discriminated on the basis of caste, creed and religion in my life. Whether or not we get votes. Whether or not we form the government, whether we win or lose. But we will never discriminate among people. This is what our prime minister feels,” he said at the function organised by Rashtriya Isai Mahasangh.
Mr. Singh said one cannot be in power and rule without love. “One can only rule with love. There is no other way,” he added. “I would also say one thing on the Christian community. We do not want to level allegations against anybody. You may have also heard. If somebody wants to accept a religion, he should do that. There should not be any objection to it. But if mass conversion starts happening, large number of people start changing their religion, then it could be a matter of concern for any country,” Mr. Singh said.
