“There’s no definition of Love-Jihad anywhere in the Constitution. BJP ruled states are making a mockery of the constitution through Love Jihad laws… If BJP governed states want to make laws, then they should make laws on ensuring minimum support price for procurement of farmers and for providing employment to people,” said Owaisi.
