Law against 'love jihad': Crackdown on forced conversion or persecution?

After Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced his government would bring a law against "love jihad", now Haryana CM ML Khattar too said that his government is also considering legal provisions against it to ensure "the guilty cannot escape".

Citing the recent murder of a student in Faridabad's Ballabhgarh, Khattar said the incident is being linked to "love jihad", a derogatory coinage used by right-wing activists to refer to the alleged campaign of Muslims forcing Hindu girls to convert in the guise of love.

So, the question is will love jihad law lead to a real crackdown or will it become a tool for persecution?
