Nesha Oraon, an IRS officer and Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (OSD), targeted those she claimed had allegedly converted to other faiths, comparing these faiths to “salts” that destroy the “tree of Sanatan.” She asserted that this “tree” must be protected and characterised religious conversions as an “encroachment on identity.” She asserted those who have converted and cannot fulfil religious duties, claiming they all should be “Sarna Advasi” to fulfill both social and religious responsibilities, claiming those who cannot should be removed and forced to leave the land, claiming wherever there is an encroachment to free it the power should be with gram sabha.
