RSS general-secretary Suresh 'Bhaiyyaji' Joshi accused the Church of exploiting and converting people to Christianity by taking advantage of their "ignorance and poverty". Stating that he had no-objection if someone embraces Christianity on his own, Joshi said that forcible-religious conversion of people should be considered a criminal-offence. The RSS-leader was speaking during a question-answer session as part of his lecture session 'Vishwaguru-Bharat' in Panaji.
