BENGALURU – Amid controversies around anti-conversion ordinance of Uttar Pradesh government, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwath Narayan has said that the BJP government is in the process of bringing bills against “love jihad” and cow slaughter in the state.
“Many states have already brought in the bills. We are also in the process of bringing bills against ”love jihad” and to impose a ban on cow slaughter,” Ashwath Narayan was quoted by ANI as saying.
