Other states such as Karnataka are mulling over laws to ban cow slaughter. A report by India Today says that earlier this month BJP legislators have demanded anti-cow slaughter law which was put in place by BS Yediyurappa in 2010. On Tuesday the Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra announced that the MP government will propose a new law against ‘Love Jihad’. It'll provide for 5 yrs of ‘rigorous imprisonment’ to the culprits.
Narottam Mishra announced that in the next assembly session the MP government will introduce a new law against ‘Love Jihad’ which will make marriages provision to declare marriages taking place forcefully, out of fraud or by tempting someone, for religious conversion, null and void.
