New Delhi: Following the suit of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, Madhya Pradesh too is thinking of put forth strict laws against Love Jihad.
The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that they are looking into going forward with a legal format to quash love jihad in his state.
“There will be no jihad (struggle) in the name of love and if anyone dares, the action will be taken. We will be making legal arrangements to control this,”
Chauhan told the reporters ahead of Madhya Pradesh by polls. Voting starts a day later for the 28 seats.
When asked about the increasing cases of inter faith marriages he said that the government will not allow fanaticism.
“We will not tolerate any jihad in the name of love. We will also keep an eye around. Spreading fanaticism, jihad in the name of love and other activities will not be allowed at all in Madhya Pradesh. Whoever will do so will face dire consequences.”
The Chief Minister earlier said on television that he is taking all measures to curb the love jihad epidemic. He also promised to make legal provisions for it.
