RSS chief ducks queries on reconversion

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat Friday avoided questions on the controversy over religious conversion, saying it was not his job to comment on such issues.

Asked to respond on an issue that has stalled the Rajya Sabha for days, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader said: "There others who are authorised to speak. It is not my job."

Bhagwat was in Goa to attend a social event in Panaji organised by Giants International, an NGO.

RSS-affiliated groups have been accused of persuading members from the minority communities to embrace Hinduism.
