Panaji, Goa – A horrific social crisis in the form of love jihad and forced religious conversions is currently affecting Hindu women across the country. Recognising this, eleven states, including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Jharkhand, have already implemented laws against love jihad and religious conversions. Against this backdrop, the Ranragini wing of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti met with Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant to submit a memorandum demanding the immediate implementation of a similar law in Goa to protect women.

- The perpetrators of love jihad who murdered Hindu girls including Sakshi, Anuradha and Shraddha should be immediately sentenced to death by hanging.
- The Home Department should appoint an independent inquiry committee to investigate whether there is any conspiracy behind the disappearance of women and girls from Goa.
- On the lines of the Uttar Pradesh Government, a special police wing should be established to handle and investigate cases of love jihad.
