Jammu and kashmir Social Aspects of state

A Sikh delegation, comprising BJP spokesperson RP Singh, Jago party president Manjit Singh GK and others, met Union Minister of State (MoS) for Home G Kishan Reddy and submitted a memorandum over the alleged forced conversions and marriages of Sikh women in J&K. They demanded a UP-like anti-conversion law in the UT.
After the meeting, Reddy said he would discuss the matter with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
BJP spokesperson Singh said the delegation demanded an anti-conversion law in J&K for the protection of Sikh girls.
“The incident of forced nikah (marriage) of an 18-year-old Sikh girl with a 60-year-old man is not a standalone incident of religion conversion. The religious conversion of Sikh girls has been going on for a long time. The delegation requested the minister to ask the J&K Lieutenant Governor (L-G) to enact a law against love jihad, like the ones passed by the UP and the MP governments.
On Sunday, a delegation of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) met J&K L-G Sinha and sought the safe return of a Sikh girl to her family, who was allegedly abducted, forcibly converted and married off in Srinagar.
