What did Akhilesh say?
Samajwadi Party national president and Kannauj MP Akhilesh Yadav said on the law related to love jihad in UP, “What do you expect from BJP? You will not get a job from this. It also lost because they did not give her a job.” The boards that were kept in the Kanwar, the work that is being done, are going to disappear again. The lamp of communalism is getting extinguished even before it can be extinguished. Communal politics is going to end from this country.
On anti-conversion law, Uttar Pradesh minister Narendra Kashyap said- Two important bills were approved in the Uttar Pradesh assembly today. The first bill deals with those individuals and organizations who were trying to disrupt the social harmony of Uttar Pradesh by forcibly converting people. To stop such incidents, our government has increased the severity of punishment and fines for those involved in forced conversion.
