Rajasthan Conversion Bill: Organizations Urge Governor to Refer to President
Imagine a new law in Rajasthan about changing religions.
A bunch of groups are worried about this law.
They think the law is too harsh and breaks some rules.
They're asking the Governor, who is like the state's leader, to send the law to the President, who is the country's leader, instead of signing it.
These groups plan to protest and even go to the Supreme Court if the law is passed.
They're concerned because many other states already have similar laws.
They believe the law will create a two-class governance system.
An alliance of organizations is urging the Rajasthan Governor to not sign the Rajasthan Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion Bill.
The groups request that the Governor refer the bill to the President of India.
The organizations claim the bill is 'draconian' and violates the constitution.
Signatories will conduct public rallies and social media campaigns against the bill.
The signatories plan to move the Supreme Court once the law is in force.
