Madikeri, Karnataka, Apr 13 : Various organizations, including Tribes took out a March at Thithimathi to protest against the conversion going on in the area.
Jasnajagruthi Suraksha Vedike, which led the protest, appealed to the government
to immediately stop special benefits to the converted Tribes.
Chief of the organization, Muniyappa alleged that the Christians were systematically trying to convert tribes living in forests and colonies in large number.
Opining that converted tribes naturally lose the right to claim various benefits being announced by governments, he said the benefits given to them can be diverted to the needy tribes.
He said anti-conversion awareness would be held in every village in future.
Tribes association leader J P Raju, speaking on the occasion, if these activities were not checked all the tribals in Kodagu would be converted into chritianity in the next three years.
District BJP president M M Ravindra said the state government would be urged to bring an amendment to ban conversion on the lines of banning cow slaughtering.
