Will consider proposal to set up Anti Love Jihad Police unit – K’taka Home Minister

K’taka Home Minister assures delegation of Hindu organisations

Karnataka home minister Araga Jnanendra on Monday said that the government would consider the demands for creating a new police unit for tackling ‘love jihad’. The assurance comes after a delegation of Hindu organisations met the minister at his official residence and submitted a memorandum.

Establish a special 'Anti-Love Jihad Police Force' to prevent incidents of conversion through Love Jihad and strictly implement the Prohibition of Conversion Act!

“Despite the implementation of the Prohibition of Conversion Act in the state, ‘Love Jihad’ has not yet stopped. Hence just like in Uttar Pradesh, an Anti-Love-Jihad task force should be appointed here as well. An NIA report claims that a Shaheen Gang is currently active in 5 districts and that some maulvis and madarsas are promoting love jihad activities. Such people should be brought to book” read the memorandum.
