Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal proposed that a law should be made in order to regulate forcible religious conversions, but no one should be wrongly harassed.
Kejriwal addressed a public gathering in Jalandhar where he mentioned that religion is a private matter.
He added that everyone has a right to worship as per choice.
Several states such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Assam have enacted laws against forcible religious conversions.
The AAP national convener also promised that similar to Delhi, if AAP is voted to power in Punjab, the government will implement Mohalla clinics and doorstep delivery service in the state, according to ANI.
Kejriwal also promised that after AAP wins elections, there will be no new taxes imposed in the state of Punjab.
The Punjab Assembly elections will take place on 20 February, while votes will be counted on 10 March.
