Suvendu Adhikari announced that a legislation targeting alleged "love jihad" and "land jihad" will be introduced within six months, citing examples from Uttarakhand and Gujarat.
BJP politician Suvendu Adhikari told reporters that a dedicated law aimed at curbing so‑called "love jihad" and "land jihad" will be tabled within the next six months. The statement was reported by The Economic Times, which quoted the leader as linking the proposal to recent legislative moves in Uttarakhand and Gujarat. He said the upcoming bill will mirror the Uniform Civil Code‑style provisions adopted by those states, seeking to address what he described as social and economic threats. While the exact provisions of the draft have not been disclosed, Adhikari emphasized that the government intends to move swiftly to formalise the measures. The announcement adds to a series of BJP‑led initiatives that seek to standardise personal law across the country, a theme that has been a recurring point of discussion in national politics.
