Prior to this after 3 hours of debate on the bill most of the members had welcomed the bill and BJP’s S V Sankanur, Bhanuprakash and Pranesh raised objections that the bill covered only Hindu religion. Law Minister T B Jayachandra who tabled the bill explained that it was not so and assured that evil practices in all religions would be covered under it.  The bill is not formulated keeping in mind only one religion but to safe guard the Dalits and oppressed from being exploited in the rural regions. It aims to destroy those who use Black Magic and such other practices that destroys society he said.

S V Sankanur of BJP, Basavaraja Horatti and Sharavana of JD(S) said first the astrology shows in all channels must be banned s they are breaking homes.

He is present in me Eshwarappa and everyone, he said and quoted Basavanna’s Vachana.
