Not only Love Jihad, Yogi Govt's new bill makes life hell if you commit this crime, life imprisonment.

Leave Love Jigat or get ready for Ram Naam Satya… these are the words of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The head of state turns his warning into reality. He is doing this through the UP Unlawful Conversion (Amendment) Bill. In the 2017 assembly elections, the Yogi government made the 'Love Jihad' issue an election issue. To prevent this, the Prohibition of Illegal Conversion Act was enacted in UP in 2020. In 2021, it was formally given legal status by passage in the legislature. At that time, the maximum punishment under this Act was 10 years and a fine of up to Rs.50,000. The new bill proposes to increase both the scope of the offense and the punishment. In the amended law, in cases of fraud or forced conversion, the law has been made stricter than before, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or a fine of Rs 5 lakh. In the amended bill, those who cheat, convert, illegally marry and molest a woman face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Earlier the maximum sentence was 10 years. It has also been informed that if anyone threatens, assaults, marries or promises to convert, conspires or abducts a woman, minor or any other person with the intention of converting them, the offense against him will be laid down in the law. A very serious type. In the amended law, such cases have been punishable with imprisonment for 20 years or life imprisonment. When it was first passed in the form of a bill and became law, the provision carried a maximum sentence of 10 years and a fine of Rs 50,000. Now anyone can file an FIR under the amended rule, and now any person can file an FIR in conversion cases. Earlier, to give information or complaint about the case, the victim, his parents, siblings must be present, but now the scope has been widened. Now anyone can give this information in writing to the police. In the revised draft, it has been suggested that such cases will not be tried under the Sessions Court and no bail application will be considered without giving time to the public prosecutor. Under the proposed draft, all the offenses included are non-bailable. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took this initiative with the aim of stopping Love Jihad, also known as 'Love Jihad'. An ordinance to this effect was promulgated in November 2020, after which the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Act-2021 was passed into law after the bill was passed by both houses of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly. What is the special feature of the bill? For the first time, punishment up to life imprisonment has been proposed, life imprisonment for forced conversion and marriage, punishment has been doubled in the already defined offences, and new offenses have been added, including life imprisonment in the Bill? A crackdown on the financing of religious conversions will also result in stiffer penalties. Focus on women's dignity, focus on women's social status, stop SC-ST illegal conversion.
