The Congress government in Himachal Pradesh has quietly passed an anti-conversion law despite a written assurance by Congress president Sonia Gandhi to Christian organisations earlier that she had personally directed her party members to challenge similar laws passed by the BJP governments in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.The Himachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Bill was passed during the four-day winter session of the state legislature on December 29, while most Christians were still celebrating Christmas and the New Year.
The BJP in the state welcomed the bill, which is a first for the Congress Party.
