The VHP will launch a campaign against religious conversion from December 20 to 31 in the country, its national joint general secretary Surendra Jain said on Saturday.
Jain, who was speaking to reporters, demanded a law against forced interfaith marriages and for denying benefits due to Dalits and Hindu tribals who convert to other faiths.

He claimed that large-scale conversion had taken place during the outbreak of the COVID pandemic.
"We are in talks with Centre. This is not a political issue. We urge both the central and state governments, belonging to whichever party, to stop forcible conversion by Muslim and Christian preachers," the VHP leader added.
