Kerala Church claims 'Love Jihad' real

This comment by the NCW chief comes after Kerala's Syro-Malabar Church had alleged that atleast 12 Christian women have been converted to Islam through ‘love jihad’ in the last three years, as per reports. Moreover, the church reportedly claimed that these women had been taken to Syria to join ISIS, where they may have been killed. Moreover, the Church blamed Kerala police to be incompetant in controlling 'love jihad' ( a term referrring to an alleged campaign by Muslim men to convert Hindu girls under the pretext of love) and is reportedly planning to warning the Christian community of 'love jihad'.

'Love Jihad' cases and probe
