Centre advised anti-conversion law is untenable Apr 15, 2015 .
The Union law ministry has shot down the move for an anti-conversion law, rejecting the clarion call by the RSS and backed by some BJP ministers at the Centre. It said the Centre has no jurisdiction over the subject and thus no national anti-conversion law can be enacted. This was conveyed last week to the Union home ministry, which sought legal opinion after senior Cabinet ministers like M. Venkaiah Naidu had raised the matter in Parliament.
