Controversy related ‘love Jihad’ is soaring day by day and many BJP ruled states are making laws against the same. However, now Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Monday said that it is a “serious issue” and he had discussed the same with CM Uddhav Thackeray.
While speaking over the demand of BJP leaders to bring Love Jihad laws in the state, Raut said that when Nitish Kumar will frame this law in Bihar, Maharashtra government will examine it and then think about the same.
“Some people are raising this issue in Maharashtra too, asking us that when will we bring a law? I spoke with the CM today, I would like to say that when Nitish ji frames this law in Bihar, we will examine it and then think about the same, for Maharashtra”, says Sanjay Raut.
“West Bengal elections are coming up and thus this new topic should be brought to the fore. We believe, development is a major issue for election but ‘Love Jihad’ will be discussed,” Raut added.
He also said that the topic will end after the West Bengal election.
Love Jihad is a term used while alleging that Hindu women face harassment and forced conversion in the name of love and marriage. BJP governments in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh have said they are considering enactment of laws to curb such marriages.
