Love Jihad
Love Jihad law should first be used against BJP leaders' family: Urdu poet
Lucknow/UNI: With the Uttar Pradesh government planning to bring a law to curb alleged 'love jihad' and forcible religious conversion, Urdu poet Munawwar Rana on Monday said that the new law should first be used against the leaders of Bharatiya Janta Party and their family members who have married outside the community.
In a tweet in Hindi, Rana said, "We can extend support to a law being enacted against love jihad only on the condition that its beginning should be made from the two big 'love Jihadis' sitting in the central government so that two Muslim girls can then marry them and action should also be taken against all BJP leaders and their family members who have married outside their religion."
In another tweet, he said, "Although love jihad is just a jumla used to spread hatred in the society, Muslim girls suffer the most from this because boys get married elsewhere."
The statement comes after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had recently announced that his government will bring a strict law to curb "love jihad" and forcible religious conversion.
Prior to this, Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government in Madhya Pradesh had said the state would soon have a law against ''love jihad''.
