DW BUREAU / chandigarh Haryana's Home Minister Anil Vij on Thursday said the state government has set up a three-member committee to draft a law against "love jihad", a term used by BJP leaders to describe religious conversions in the guise of marriage. The minister's statement comes days after the Uttar Pradesh government cleared a draft ordinance against conversion through force or fraudulent means. But even before the UP ordinance was cleared, Vij had announced that a committee was being set up in Haryana to frame a new law. The Haryana committee will also study laws enacted by other states on the issue, Vij said. He tweeted that the "drafting committee formed to frame law on love jihad" in Haryana will be made up of state Home Secretary T L Satyaprakash, Additional Director General of Police Navdeep Singh Virk and Additional Advocate General Deepak Manchanda. Earlier this month, Vij had told the Haryana Assembly that the state government is considering a law against "love jihad" and has sought information from Himachal Pradesh. The Himachal Pradesh Assembly had passed a bill last year against conversion by force, inducement or through a marriage solemnised for the "sole purpose" of adopting a new religion.
