Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday took note of religious conversions by saying that an anti-conversion law should be made to stop such acts.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday inaugurated an Educational and Multipurpose Skill Development Center in Bhopalโ€™s MP Nagar. During his inaugural address, CM Chouhan said, โ€œA stringent law should be enacted to stop the vicious cycle of religious conversion because religious conversion cases are still running in any guise.โ€

CM added, โ€œAnd under the Panchayats (Extensions to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA), the Gram Sabha has the right to give the land back to the real owner, cornered in a wrong manner or through marrying someone by laying a trap.โ€

Earlier this month, during an event in Indore CM Shivraj, said the state government will not tolerate โ€˜Love Jihadโ€™ at any cost and if required, it will bring in stricter laws against it.
โ€œSome people from other religions marry the daughter of a tribal family just to buy land. This is not love, it is โ€˜jihadโ€™ in the name of love, and I will not allow this game of โ€˜love jihadโ€™ in Madhya Pradesh at any cost,โ€ Chouhan said.

Reacting to CMโ€™s remark in Indore, veteran Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Govind Singh on December 6, aimed at him and termed the Love Jihad as โ€˜fakeโ€™.
Singh said, โ€œThe government speaks nothing but lies. Love-jihad is totally fake. The Constitution of India gives an absolute right to a person from any religion to have a relationship or marry anyone irrespective of faith. It is a conspiracy to change the Constitution. Love-Jihad never existed.โ€

Reacting to Congress leader Singhโ€™s statement, BJP state general secretary Bhagwandas Sabnani said no responsible leader should make such โ€˜irresponsible statementsโ€™ in the quest for political appeasement.
โ€œHe (Govind Singh) or the people around him have never experienced the pain (of Love-Jihad). Congress must have decided that conversion has to be promoted,โ€ Sabnani added.
