Talking to mediapersons after a meeting of the party's election campaign committee for Gujarat, Mr. Naidu attacked the Congress for what he called its "double standard'' — the party opposing the move in some States while its own party governments implemented anti-conversion laws in some other States. To a question, Mr. Naidu said the BJP's manifesto for the Gujarat elections would include an assurance on anti-conversion law. Mr. Naidu disagreed that the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee's suggestion for a national debate on the issue had been given the go-by by the BJP. ``The debate is on in one form or the other,'' Mr. Naidu said. He, however, had no information that a private member's bill to stop conversion moved in the Gujarat Assembly by a ruling party member earlier was withdrawn at the behest of the Government. "I do not have details about the private member's bill but the BJP will like to have such measures implemented in all the states,'' he said. He, however, did not mention about the controversy on the issue in Tamil Nadu.
