Referring to an alleged case in Nashik involving Tata Consultancy Services, Jain claimed the incident had exposed a wider pattern that required urgent attention.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>He further alleged that similar activities could be occurring in other firms, including Tech Mahindra, though no independent verification of these claims was cited in the statement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The VHP also commended a group of police personnel who, it said, helped uncover the alleged Nashik case, claiming their intervention prevented more youths from being affected. Jain linked the issue to what he termed a broader, organised network extending beyond specific institutions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The organisation argued that states which have enacted stricter anti-conversion laws have seen better control over such incidents. It urged all states to adopt similar legislation and called on political parties to rise above \u201cpartisan considerations\u201d in addressing the issue.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The VHP further demanded that the Centre step in, stating that an ongoing probe by the National Investigation Agency indicated the matter had wider national implications.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Calling for a central law against illegal conversions, the group said stronger legal measures were needed to effectively address what it described as an emerging challenge to social harmony and national security.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/vhp-seeks-nationwide-law-against-illegal-conversions-flags-security-threat\/articleshow\/130286408.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) International Working President Alok Kumar (PTI file photo) NEW DELHI: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Wednesday called for a stringent nationwide law to curb illegal religious conversions, alleging that such activities pose a threat to national security and are no longer confined to isolated incidents.VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain expressed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[133],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3404","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-country"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
