Guardian Minister Jaykumar Gore assures : “I will strive to ensure ‘Love Jihad’ law is passed in the upcoming Winter Session !”
A Love Jihad signature campaign is launched across Maharashtra urging the State Government to pass an anti- ‘Love Jihad’ law. ‘Love Jihad’ is not merely an individual-level criminal activity but an organized, premeditated, and ideological war. It involves fake identities, entrapment in love, forced marriages, religious conversions, sexual exploitation, prostitution, brutal murders, human trafficking, organ trade, and even participation in terrorist activities. Countless Hindu women and girls across Solapur district and the entire state have fallen victim to this. Therefore, a strong law against ‘Love Jihad’ must be enacted in Maharashtra during the forthcoming Winter Assembly Session,” stated the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti in a memorandum submitted to Solapur District Guardian Minister Jaykumar Gore.
During the campaign, women and young girls carried striking placards with slogans such as
- “Give us this gift for Bhai Dooj – Enact the anti- ‘Love Jihad’ law!”
- “Our safety is in your hands – The state needs an anti- ‘Love Jihad’ law!”
- “Main Hoon Durga – A Symbol of Shakti.”
- These placards immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Similar memorandums were also submitted to BJP MLAs Devendra Kothe, Vijaykumar Deshmukh, and Subhash Deshmukh. Those present included Ms. Varsha Jevale and Shri. Vinod Rasal of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, along with Mrs. Vidya Kulkarni, Mrs. Suvarna Goski, and Mrs. Sunita Nyamane.
