Meghalaya mulls anti-witchcraft law

Shillong, Nov 12 (UNI) The Meghalaya government is mulling to introduce an anti-witchcraft law to eliminate the superstition from society.
Adviser to the Social Welfare department Paul Lyngdoh on Tuesday revealed that the proposed law is under consideration and would require careful examination by the Law department.
“This is a sensitive issue. The Law department has to apply its mind because many of these practices have deep traditional roots and at the same time these are not in conformity with the rule of law. Therefore, the Law department will need to carefully study the matter before any legislative step is taken,” the former minister said.
