India’s Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), known as the ”World Hindu Council,” held a re-conversion rally on Christmas Eve in Dangs district, south Gujarat. The VHP claimed that 500 members of tribal groups re-converted to Hinduism during the rally, although government officials present at the event said only one pastor and a handful of Christians attended. Praveen Togadia, General Secretary of the VHP, had applied for permission to hold the rally in Navapur Township, Maharashtra state. However the Maharashtra State Minorities Commission urged the government to revoke its permission, reminding them of a similar rally held in Dangs district on Christmas Eve 1998 which unleashed 10 days of anti-Christian violence. The re-conversion rally or sammelan was then moved to Lalmati on the Gujarat-Maharashtra border, just 2 kilometers away. Meanwhile, Togadia called for Maharashtra to adopt anti-conversion laws similar to those imposed in five other Indian states. (Compass Direct)
