00:00If you are a Hindu, then follow the Hindu religion. If you are a Muslim, then follow the Muslim religion.
00:05If you are a Christian, then follow the Christian religion.
00:07You have decided that you will convert the entire world's society.
00:14I think this is not right.
00:30I would like to say one more thing about the Christian community.
00:57I don't want to put any blame on anyone.
01:01But I say, you must have heard,
01:05if someone accepts a religion on his own,
01:08there is no harm in it.
01:10No one should have any objection.
01:13No one should have any objection.
01:15But if there is a mass conversion somewhere,
01:20if a large number of people start converting,
01:24then this can be a matter of concern for any country.
01:28Why should this happen?
01:32If you are a Hindu, then follow the Hindu religion.
01:36If you are a Muslim, then follow the Muslim religion.
01:39If you are a Christian, then follow the Christian religion.
01:41You have decided that you will convert the entire world's society.
01:50I think this is not right.
01:52Why?
01:54In that country,
01:56which is known as a land of peace in the world,
02:04why should this happen?
02:06Whether this happens or not, you decide.
02:10I don't want to put any allegation on anyone.
02:12It will spread to other countries in the world.
02:14Even I am talking about Britain and America.
02:17The minorities there demand to make an anti-conversion law.
02:27Laws have been made to stop conversion.
02:31But here, when I see that the majority demands an anti-conversion law,
02:37this is a matter of concern.
02:39It should not happen.
02:41If there is any logic behind this,
02:47I am ready to accept that logic.
02:50You are doing everything for humanity and Christianity.
02:59You want to enlighten people.
03:01This is your aim.
03:03We are doing all these things for humanity.
03:06So why?
03:08Why are we trying to make ourselves a symbol?
03:11Are we?
03:13Do we have to rule over anyone?
03:17No.
03:19I cannot sit in power and rule over everyone's hearts.
03:24Only love and affection can rule over people's hearts.
03:28There is no other way.
03:30There should be a debate on this all over the country.
03:33There should be a debate on this.
03:36This is a question for everyone in India.
03:39This is a question for our Prime Minister Sachin Tendulkar as well.
03:43I can say this.
03:45Whenever a person from a minority comes here,
03:49I do not want to discuss all the incidents.
03:52But a sense of fear is created in people.
03:57BJP has come.
03:59Something bad will happen.
04:02We do not want to rule the country by creating a sense of fear.
04:07We want to rule the country by creating a sense of confidence instead of a sense of fear.
