The Karnataka assembly is heading towards a big showdown as the BJP-led government is expected to table the controversial anti-conversion bill during the winter session. Meanwhile, the Opposition has vehemently opposed the bill, with senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah saying the bill is part of the BJP’s “communal agenda”. The Archbishop of Bengaluru, Peter Machado, has also urged the government to withdraw the proposed bill, saying it "will not bring good to anyone".
