Chhattisgarh Assembly passes strict anti-conversion bill imposing life sentences

Chhattisgarh's Assembly enacted a new law targeting forced religious conversions, prescribing life imprisonment and heavy fines up to ₹25 lakh for violations. This legislative move reflects the state's intensified regulatory approach toward religious conversions, despite opposition calls for further scrutiny. Moving forward, debates may continue around the bill’s implementation and potential judicial challenges from dissenting political groups.
