From the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly to the political corridors, there has been a continuous chaos over the prohibition prohibition bill 2025, ie the anti -conversion bill. The ruling party is engaged in beating it by calling it its big achievement, then the opposition parties including the Congress and the Bharat Adivasi Party are questioning the government’s intention, and at the same time, they are making serious allegations of baking political loaves of hatred on the BJP.
A big question among the political blows is whether the current bill passed on 9 September will be able to make laws this time or the history of 2005 and 2008 will be repeated again. The first twice when the assembly passed the conversion bill, both times the BJP government was in Rajasthan. This time too, the government is the BJP, but this time the BJP is also ruled at the center, while the UPA government was working under the leadership of Manmohan Singh both times.
Bill came for the first time in Vasundhara Raje’s government
The conversion bill in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly was first passed by the then Vasundhara Raje government in 2005. After passing the bill from the assembly, it was sent to the then Governor of the state Pratibha Patil for approval. Opposition and all the organizations had objected and appealed to the governor not to approve it. Governor Pratibha Patil sent this bill to the then President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
When the bill remained pending in Rashtrapati Bhavan for a long time, the government withdrew it. The Vasundhara Raje government again passed the conversion bill from the assembly before the assembly elections in 2008, but this law could not be made for the second time. The bill passed in 2008 was not approved by the then Governor Shailendra Kumar Singh himself and sent it to the then President Pratibha Devi Singh Patil. This bill remained stuck for 10 years in Rashtrapati Bhavan. In the year 2018, Rashtrapati Bhavan sent this bill back with some objections.
The exercise started again in Bhajan Lal Sharma government
After the formation of the BJP government led by Bhajan Lal Sharma in Rajasthan in December 2023, the exercise started again on the anti -conversion law. In February this year, the bill was also introduced in the budget session of the assembly, but it could not be discussed. The Rajasthan cabinet made a major change in the proposed bill on 31 August this year and approved it and the revised bill was introduced in the monsoon session. On September 9, the government passed it by a sound vote amidst the uproar of the opposition. After passing from the assembly, this governor is being sent for approval.
Now it will be seen whether the current Governor Haribhau Bagde approves this bill and gives it an consent to become a law or like the last two times, this time it also gets objections on it. By the way, along with opposition parties, all the social and human rights organizations are raising questions about the bill passed from the assembly.
PUCL protested
People’s Union for Civil Liberty i.e. PUCL has described it as completely unconstitutional and human rights. Kavita Srivastava, president and social activist of the institution, says that the provision given in it is a violation of human rights. Are against the Constitution and stop the fundamental rights. Kavita Srivastava has clearly stated that even the last twice her organization had strongly objected, due to this the bill could not be approved. This time also a letter is being sent to the Governor and the President. Despite this, if it is approved, then it will also be challenged in the court.
What do constitution experts say?
Constitution expert and Senior Advocate R.K. N. Mathur says that any bill is necessary for the approval of the Governor or President. It is only after their approval that this law is made and gazette notification is done. According to him, once the governor can send the bill back to the assembly, but if the House passes it for the second time, then it has to be approved. However, apart from approved or returning, the governor can also send the bill to the President. There is no obligation to approve the second time before the President.
Expert R. N. According to Mathur, even after the law is enacted, it can be challenged in the High Court and the Supreme Court. According to the information, so far, the 11 assemblies of the country which have enacted a separate law on conversion, all the matters are pending in the Supreme Court.
Did you say Jawahar Singh Bedam, Minister of State for Home?
On the other hand, Minister of State for Home of Rajasthan Government Jawahar Singh Bedam says that the first twice the objections that the bill was not approved, this time he has been removed. Strict provisions have been made in this bill of this time. Minister of State for Home Jawahar Singh Bedam has expressed confidence that the bill will be approved and that law will also be made. This time there will be no technical problem.
