VADODARA: Gujarat government will enact law to keep ‘love jihad’ in check. Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani announced this while addressing a public gathering in Vadodara on Sunday.

“We introduced the new and stringent act of Gujarat Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act 2020 in which there is provision of 14 years imprisonment to those who illegal grab somebody’s property.
And now, our BJP government will introduce ‘Love Jihad’ act in assembly to keep a check on such activities so that such activities are not tolerated in future,” Rupani said, amidst cheers by the crowd which raised slogans of ‘Jai Shree Ram’.
Rupani said this while addressing a public gathering in Tarsali area of Vadodara, one of the three public gatherings he was scheduled to address ahead of the civic body polls which are scheduled on February 21.
The CM assured the crowd that drinking water problems of the area will be resolved soon.
“It is our responsibility to resolve your problems,” he said, adding that in coming days, the problem of Vadodara getting flooded during monsoon will also be addressed.
“We are going to resolve issue of Vishwamitri river. Every time, Vadodara gets inundated in floods. We will ensure that it comes out of this situation,” he said.
