NEW DELHI: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, whose government has passed anti-conversions law, has said he wonders why Pope Benedict is "so much" concerned about conversions in India in India.

In an article in RSS mouthpiece Organiser , Chouhan claimed Congress chief Sonia Gandhi had written a letter to a Christian body reportedly expressing her views on conversion and said "only a novice in the political history of the Congress and its post-freedom development would say something like what Sonia has said in the letter".

Chouhan said he also wondered why Congress does not question the Vatican's views on conversions.

In May, Pope Benedict had condemned moves in India to ban religious conversions.

"Why is Pope so much concerned about conversions in India only?” Chouhan asked. The Chief Minister also insisted conversions were not part of universal declaration of human rights.
