DHANKUTA, June 26: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Kamal Thapa on Sunday warned that those involved in conversion of religion will face action.

Speaking to local journalists in Dhankuta, DPM Thapa said that some groups are involved in conversion of religion by luring people of monetary and other benefits. Such groups will have to face action in accordance with the constitution.
