Kangana backs anti-conversion law; backs Saudi-style hanging for rape

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut on Saturday came out in support of anti-conversion ordinance brought in by BJP government in Mhya Presh, saying it would help victims of fraudulent marris. actor, often in news because of controversial social media posts, also appeared to favour public executions such as in Saudi Arabia to curb crimes like gang-rape.

Goverr Anandiben Patel earlier in day gave assent to an ordinance of MP government which penalizes religious conversions through fraudulent means including those for sake of marri. law provides for as much as 10 years in prison for fraudulent conversions in some cases.

"This is a very good law. Many people have faced problems. law has been me for such people," she told reporters. "This of law should be me. It is a very good step government has finally taken," Ranaut, here for a film shoot, said to a query.

Asked about rising cases of rape in country, actor said trials of such cases go on for long and victims get harassed in process. "y have burden to prove charges against accused...More than half accused get acquitted," she said.

"Many countries like Saudi hang ( accused) in public squares," she said, ding "until we set five-six such examples, until tough action is t taken (such crimes will t stop)...because people get away with such crimes," Ranaut said.
