KATHMANDU:  Nepali Congress (NC) leader Gagan Thapa said the rise in the religious conversion should be stopped. It is the freedom of choice of a person to adopt religion in the country with religious freedom, leader Thapa said.

Youth leader Thapa said this while attending the second day of the ‘Swarnim Shreemadbhagwat Bhakti Satsang Mahayagya-2075’ in Banepa. “The religious practices are free in Nepal but the state should stop the practice of forceful religious conversion”, he asserted.
