"It is unfair and worrying to create ruckus across the country regarding 'change of religion.' Forcibly everything is bad and changing and getting religion changed with bad intentions, both are wrong. Therefore, it is necessary to see and understand this issue from the right perspective. Due to the fundamentalist politics being done regarding this, the country gains less and loses more," tweeted Mayawati.
Extending her greetings to the countrymen on Christmas, Mayawati expressed hope for peace and harmony among people of all religions.
