According to the minister, the demand was unjustified because dalit-converts left the Hindu fold to escape the scourge of untouchability. They converted to other religions because untouchability did not exist there. The conversion has solved the problems they faced as Hindus. So, they should not ask for SC status, he argued. Coming out strongly against the campaign of dalit converts, the Union minister said the subject was debated in detail in the Constituent Assembly and has also been examined by government and the Supreme Court in the past. They did not support it then and it should not be done now, he insisted.
