Bhopal: The Congress government in Madhya Pradesh has stirred a major controversy by announcing that it will review and withdraw “false cases” against Muslims and Christians , filed by the previous BJP government out of alleged political vendetta. BJP has dubbed it “politics of appeasement” and a bid to legalise and promote conversions, which is against the law.The Kamal Nath government has already announced amnesty in “politically-motivated cases” filed by the previous BJP rule against political workers and activists, and cases filed against farmers during kisan agitations.“We have decided to withdraw all ‘false cases’, which were politically motivated, including those registered against Muslims and Christians, by the previous BJP government,” law minister P C Sharma said on Tuesday. Asked about BJP’s allegation that the Congress government wants to withdraw all cases of conversions, he said the charge was misplaced.According to the 2011 Census, Muslims constitute 6.6% of MP’s population and Christians 0.3%.Recently, a delegation of Rashtriya Isai Mahasangh, led by Father Anand Muttungal, met law minister PC Sharma and demanded withdrawal of “fake cases of conversions” filed against members of the Christian community in the BJP tenure.“There must be more than 500 cases lodged against Christians without any basis. We met the law minister and submitted that the BJP-led government in Madhya Pradesh had persecuted Christians in the name of conversion to take revenge because they believe that Christians are supporters of Congress. Of the 264 select cases registered against Christians from 2003 to 2018, not even one has been proven so far,” Muttungal told TOI.On Monday, minister Sharma said that Congress government will withdraw all “politically motivated cases”, irrespective of caste. And the very next day, Sharma announced that cases registered by previous BJP government against Muslims and Christians will also be withdrawn.BJP is miffed with Congress for “fiddling with conversion cases”. BJP state spokesperson Rajneesh Agrawal alleged that the Congress government’s stand to review and withdraw cases related to conversion is mere votebank politics and goes against the Constitution.“It will promote conversions in the state, which is a big issue. This will incite Christian missionaries, which is highly objectionable. This seem to be the agenda of senior Congress leaders and BJP will go all out to oppose the decision,” Agrawal told TOI. Sources said RSS is outraged and plans to launch a nationwide protest.
