Maharashtra ला रहा है बहुत कड़ा Anti Conversion Law, Church जाने वालों से कैसा फॉर्म भरवाया जा रहा

Ahead of the implementation of Maharashtra’s anti-conversion law on August 28, 2026, Christian prayer halls across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region including Vasai, Virar, and Thane, are adopting a unique safety measure. Amid a recent wave of Sunday prayer disruptions and cross-FIRs involving right-wing groups like the Bajrang Dal, local pastors are now asking worshippers to sign "self-declaration" forms. These forms require an Aadhaar or PAN card and a photograph, serving as documented proof that attendees are participating completely out of their own free will and without any inducement or coercion. In this video, we break down the ground reality, the key statistics from recent months, the perspective of church leaders and opposition groups, and what the new law means for religious congregations.
