New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said a law should definitely be made against religious conversions.


Kejriwal said religion is a “private matter”, adding everybody has the “right to worship a God”.


“A law should definitely be made against religious conversions but nobody should be wrongly harassed through this. Conversions done by scaring them is wrong,” he said in Jalandhar, ANI reported.


The AAP chief also used the occasion to reach out to the voters of Punjab ahead of the assembly elections.


“Industrialists were considered the BJP’s vote bank in Delhi. I myself am a ‘baniya’ but Delhi’s ‘baniya’ never voted for me. They started voting after I won their hearts,” said Kejriwal.


“Give us five years, we will win your hearts too,” he added.


Earlier in the day, AAP’s chief ministerial candidate Bhagwant Mann filed his nomination from the Dhuri assembly seat.


Mann, currently an MP from Sangrur Lok Sabha seat, said he looks forward to great support from the people in the upcoming assembly elections.


“I have come here to file my nomination... I urge the people to help me and the Aam Aadmi Party win from Dhuri in the Punjab polls. Hoping to receive great support,” he said, ANI reported.


Mann has been elected to the Punjab Lok Sabha seat of Sangrur for two terms in a row since 2014.


Voting for the Punjab Assembly will be held in a single phase on February 14. The results will be declared on March 10.
