Shiv Sena members staged a demonstration against “love jihad” and religious conversion, during which District President Lokesh Saini alleged a systematic rise in “love jihad” and religious conversions across the country, urged strict administrative action, and called on Hindus to “awaken.” Participants burned and beat with shoes a poster depicting “love jihad” while chanting, “Shoot those who carry out religious conversions” and “Shoot those who spread love jihad.”
