Talking to mediapersons here on Monday, VHP President Alok Kumar said: "I have been here for past five days and during the sojourn here, I met five prominent saints with whom talks revolved on issues like forced conversions, 'Ghar Vapasi', cow protection and family values. Sants were worried about attempts made for conversions."

The VHP chief stressed upon passage of a stringent anti-Conversion law in Rajasthan, saying: "I met state Chief Minister on the first day of current visit and conveyed to him our demand of a stringent and effective law."
