<b>VHP reconverts 342 to Hinduism in Orissa</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The reconverted persons, who belonged to 74 families, were blessed by the Sankaracharya of Puri, Swami Nischalananda Saraswati.
Speaking on the occasion, VHP International President Ashok Singhal demanded that the Centre should enact a law to completely ban conversions from Hinduism.
However, there should not be any restriction on Christians if they wanted to return to their 'mother faith of Hinduism', he said while refusing to acknowledge as conversion the return of the people to Hinduism from Christianity.
