JAUNPUR: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has said today that his government will bring a strict law to curb the incidents of “love jihad”.
Addressing a rally in Jaunpur for the upcoming bye-elections, Adityanath said, “I warn those who conceal identity and play with our sisters’ respect. If you don’t mend your ways your ‘Ram naam satya’ (chant associated with Hindu funerals) journey will begin.”
“The posters of those involved in love jihad will be put on all road crossings,” the firebrand leader further said.
“Allahabad High Court said religious conversion isn’t necessary for marriage. Govt will also work to curb ‘love-jihad’, we’ll make a law,” he added.
