Modi blasts missionaries at RSS tribal meet - India

AHWA: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Saturday criticised Christian missionaries' conversion activities and told a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) meeting here in the Dangs district that the central government had failed to stop them.

"The constitution is against forcible conversion. The state, however, is doing little to stop such conversions," he told a gathering of more than 150,000 RSS activists.
"Mahatma Gandhi too had opposed forcible conversions. If he were alive today and were to say so, they would have lambasted him as well," Modi said.
