New Delhi: Haryana deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala has said that he doesn’t agree with the term “love jihad”, and has no issue with anyone willingly marrying a person of another faith.
In an interview to
NDTV, Chautala said: “I don’t agree with this term called ‘love jihad’. We will get a law specifically for checking forceful religious conversion and we will support it. If anybody converts willingly or marries to a partner of another faith, then there is no bar.”
As the BJP-led government in Haryana prepares to table legislation to check "love jihad", key ally and Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala is not entirely on board and he has made it clear. In an interview to NDTV, he says he does not agree with the term "love jihad", used by the rightwing to describe what they call a ruse by Muslim men to reel in Hindu women and force them to convert.
