Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has said that his Government will bring in a law in the next Assembly Session to counter Love Jihad, the Economic Times reported.
The law in Karnataka will be in line with the Utter Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath Government that has taken a serious measure to counter this deceitful practice entrapping, Hindu girls, by Muslim boys.
UP has already introduced an ordinance against Love Jihad under the UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance 2020 that has received Governor Anandiben Patel’s approval.
Madhya Pradesh which is another BJP ruled under the CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan also proposed to bring in laws to curb “forces religious conversions”.
The cause to have a definitive law against love jihad came after the broad day-light murder of a 21-years-old college student Nikita Tomar by a Muslim youth and his friend in Haryana’s Ballabhgarh in October.
