Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has given a pat on the back of Home Department officials for action against Computer Baba in Indore, Kabir Ashram in Devas and against another Baba in Narsinghpur. The officials received appreciation.
“It’s necessary to take action against those who are involved in unlawful activities in the name of religion,” Chouhan remarked.
The Chief Minister also discussed about the proposed Act against Love Jihad. He said there would be stringent provisions in the proposed Act. The religious freedom Bill would be passed in the ensuing session of the House, he added.
