At an event, BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay framed religious conversion as India’s “second biggest threat.” He claimed that freedom of religion has been “misinterpreted as freedom of conversion” and questioned whether the Constitution should permit conversion into religions “opposed to it.” Upadhyay demanded stricter laws and SOPs on “love jihad,” conversion, and “ghuspeth” (infiltration). He alleged mass kidnappings and human trafficking of Hindu women, along with large-scale foreign-funded conversions to Arab or European religions, portraying them as a national security threat.
