‘Love Jihad’ Laws attempt to divert Public attention: Owaisi

TIL Desk/National/Hyderabad/ AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has said that the laws planned to be brought by BJP-ruled states to check the so-called ‘love jihad’ are an attempt by the BJP to divert people’s attention from real issues faced by the country.

He alleged that unable to solve the problem of growing unemployment, arrest joblessness and economic crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the BJP was resorting to theatrics.

The Hyderabad MP told reporters that such laws would be a violation of Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution of India. “They (the BJP-ruled state) should read the Constitution. They are going far ahead in their hatred. This won’t work,” said Owaisi.

The MP pointed out that choice is a fundamental right under Article 21 and as ruled by the Supreme Court. He wanted to know if the government would repeal the Special Marriages Act.
