Love Jihad A Well-planned Conspiracy: Madhya Pradesh BJP MP

Bhopal: BJP’s Bhopal MP Alok Sharma on Friday alleged that ‘Love jihad’ is a ‘well-planned’ conspiracy to break the Hindu society and the Centre should seriously consider bringing a strong deterrent law to foil it.

Leading the protests against the ‘Love jihad’, a term coined by BJP for the interfaith marriage particularly between Muslim boy and Hindu girl, here, Mr. Sharma claimed that he has started compiling data on such marriages being held by duping the girl across the cities in the country and submit it in the parliament to justify his demand for a strong law to curb it.

“The boys of a particular minority community are being trained by some organizations in some cities in the country to woo the Hindu girls deceitfully in the guise of a Hindu boy and marry them and later force them to change their religion. I am gathering data on it”, Mr. Sharma said.

He alleged that the boys of the particular community change their names and sport ‘tilak’ on their forehead to pose as a Hindu while trapping the Hindu girls to marry them.

These boys ride luxury motorcycles and entertain their girl friends in restaurants to impress them and then trap them to marry, Mr. Sharma claimed.

He said almost all the cases related to ‘Love jihad’, registered in different police stations in Madhya Pradesh, tell similar stories.

The ‘Sakal Hindu Samaj’, an outfit comprising different Hindu bodies, on Friday staged protests across the state against the ‘Love jihad’.

BJP leader Rajo Malvya who joined the protest demanded capital punishment for the boys who marry the Hindu girls deceitfully by concealing their religion.

He said the existing law is not strong enough to curb such illegal practices and demanded the government to bring a stringent law to stop it.
