Congress government in Karnataka set to repeal anti-conversion law

The Congress government in Karnataka is moving to fulfil its pre-election pledge to repeal the anti-conversion law. The party had promised to scrap the Act ahead of the 2023 assembly elections but had refrained from action due to lack of numbers in the legislative council.

With the Congress now securing a majority in the upper house, the government is positioned to pursue the repeal. The move marks a significant step in the party's agenda following its electoral victory in the state.
