Mumbai: CM Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said the anti-conversion bill passed by the legislature earlier will provide a dedicated legal framework, noting that existing BNS provisions are inadequate to effectively address forced religious conversion cases.Fadnavis, who handles the home portfolio, said approval of the bill from the Centre is awaited. “No innocent person will be implicated,” he said, adding that the law would strengthen the state’s ability to deal with forced conversion cases.The CM said charges of religious conversion had surfaced recently in Nagpur, but the victim’s complaint was primarily related to sexual exploitation.
