Elvish continued to emphasize that the trend extended beyond 2009, not only involving Hindu girls but also Christian girls experiencing substantial conversion rates. He pointed out that even the Chief Minister of Kerala, in 2012, officially stated that as many as 7,713 women had converted to Islam.
