BJP member Nishikant Dubey on Wednesday demanded that the Centre bring in provisions to deny reservation 𝄹benefits to the members of th🎃e Scheduled Tribes who convert to other religions.

Raising the issue of religious conversion During Zero Hour inℱ Lok Sabha, he claimed without n𓄧aming anyone that members of the Scheduled Tribes are misled and converted to other religions.

“The centre has submitted before th✤e Supreme Court that reservation (benefits) will not be extended to the members of the Scheduled Castes who have converted to other religions, especially Islam and Chris♌tianity,” Dubey.

The same system sﷺhould also be applicable in case of the members of the Scheduled Tribes converting to other reli𓆉gions, he said.

“They (scheduled tr꧑ibes) should not get a reservation (benefits),” he added

The members of the Scheduled Tribes are being converted “at a large scꦬale in Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and 🔯the North East”, Dubey claimed, without taking names.
