New law against 'love jihad' and 'land jihad' in 6 months, UCC like Uttarakhand & Gujarat: Suvendu Adhikari’s big promise in Bengal

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday said his government would introduce stringent laws against what he termed “love jihad” and “land jihad” within six months, while also implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state on the lines of Uttarakhand and Gujarat. Addressing an event to mark the birth centenary of former Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) president Ashok Singhal, Adhikari said the BJP government would function within the framework of the Constitution but would not tolerate attacks on Indian culture, Sanatani traditions, temples, monasteries and heritage.
