Two days after declaring that the BJP would launch a massive campaign against "love jihad" if voted to power in Assembly elections due next year, Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said next on the state's agenda would be to ensure interfaith marriages happen out of free will. On Sunday Mr Sarma, the BJP's go-to person in the northeast, alleged that social media was the "new menace" and Assamese girls were "falling prey to love jihad". "... this is a cultural aggression on our society and later these girls might have to face talaq..." the minister said.
