Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Monday said the Bharatiya Janata Party government will oppose any love that results in “jihad”, reported
The Indian Express. “Love jihad” is a conspiracy theory espoused by right-wing Hindutva activists, alleging that Hindu women are forcibly converted by Muslims through marriage.
“Any love that leads towards jihad, we will oppose it,” Mishra said while speaking to the media on Monday, according to
The Indian Express. “Any love that offends our sentiments, we will oppose it. Any love who will make our daughters and sisters suffer, we will oppose it.”
