N.S. Khed, former MLA, has said that a group of like-minded progressive people have decided to intensify the agitation seeking enactment of the anti-superstition law in the next Assembly session. Addressing presspersons here on Thursday, he said that such a law was essential for a healthy society.
Progressive thinkers had formed a panel to demand a law to prevent superstitions and punish those who propagate them, Mr. Khed said. “The government of Maharashtra has come up with such an act, it is time the Congress government in Karnataka formulated such a law,” he said. On reports of seers opposing the lawMr. Khed said all saffron-clad persons were not true seers.
