Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) wants the “Love Jihad” law in Delhi too after a few states have taken the initiative on the matter.
In a letter to Delhi LG Anil Baijal and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, VHP has cited a rise in cases of conversion under the pretext of marriage or concealing true identities to pitch for an anti-Love Jihad law in the Capital.

This comes shortly after Madhya Pradesh became the latest State to pass on the anti-Love Jihad law. It’s called MP Freedom to Religion Bill 2020. The bill not only aims to prevent conversion by marriage but also to prohibit religious conversion by financial allurement, fraudulent and forceful means.
The UP government has already passed the “Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion Bill 2020 last month.
