NEW DELHI: The comments of Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of BJP's ideological mentor RSS, calling India a Hindu Rashtra, led to a storm of protests from the Opposition parties on Sunday.

Speaking in Kolkata on Saturday, Mr Bhagwat had said, "This is our own country, our Hindu Rashtra. What we have lost in the past, we will try to bring it back... if you don't want to change into a Hindu, then you should not convert Hindus. If you don't like it, then bring law against it."

In the wake of the controversy over the conversions at Agra and elsewhere, and the opposition protests over it, the ruling BJP is considering an anti-conversion law across the country. The BJP contends that conversion is a personal choice, but conversions by force will be actionable under law. The party alleges that the opposition is thwarting the government's efforts to bring in such a bill
