The right of religious conscience conferred on every
citizen is a right conferring three distinct rights i.e.
Right to Profess, Right to Practice and Right to
Propagate. What this means is that Article 20 does not
merely confer a private right to profess but confers a
right to practice both privately and publicly his or her
religion. Moreover, it confers the additional right not
only to profess and practice his own religion but to
have the right to propagate his or her religion to
others. It is important to note that this propagation of
religion has not been limited to Muslims having the
right to propagate their religion but this right is
equally conferred on Non-Muslims to propagate their
religion
to
their
own
community
and
to
other
communities. This should not be seen as a right to
encourage conversions but more importantly, should
be seen as a right against forced conversions or
imposing beliefs on others because if all citizens have
the right to propagate then no citizen has the right of
forced conversion or imposing beliefs on others.
