Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) supports states enacting laws against "Love Jihad", its newly elected Sarkaryavah (general secretary) Dattatreya Hosabale said on Saturday, as he condemned use of fraudulent methods to lure girls for marriage and conversion. Also stressing the need for an intellectual campaign aimed at giving the right perspective to the narrative of India, he said the Sangh will work towards this in the days ahead. "...courts have used the word Love Jihad, not us. The use of any fraudulent methods to lure girls for wrong purposes like marriage for the sake or religious conversion or any kind of misuse or to take them to other countries has to be condemned and it has to be opposed," Mr Hosabale said. Some states have even come forward with laws against this and RSS supports it, he said, adding that there is no question of religion in it.
