Bengaluru: After delaying it for over four years, the State government will finally table the controversial Karnataka Evil, Inhuman and Superstitious Practices Prevention and Eradication Bill. However, the ruling Congress has decided to tone-down certain provisions of the Bill.
Banning several superstitious practices, including made snana, astrology and animal sacrifices, will be dropped from the draft Bill, according to Revenue Minister Kagodu Thimmappa. A Cabinet sub-committee, headed by Thimmappa, drafted the Bill and referred it to the Law Department for finalising various provisions.
