Meerut (Uttar Pradesh): Sangeet Som, the BJP MLA from Sardhana in Meerut, has asked the Hindu youth to awaken and follow the tit-for-tat policy on the 'love jihad' issue.
He asked the Hindu youth not to wait for the police or law to take action. "You must teach the love jihadis a lesson. The police and the law will take its own course and we cannot wait endlessly for this. 'Danda uthao ya joota (pick up a rod or a shoe)-but teach them a lesson," he said
In an interaction on the social media with his voters, the MLA said, "It is up to the Hindus to protect their daughters and sisters."
Som also targeted the Congress and the Samajwadi Party for their silence on the Nikita case. "It is only because the accused belong to a particular community and these parties do not want to lose their votes," he said
The MLA welcomed the Allahabad High Court decision which said that conversion only for the sake of marriage was unacceptable.
Sangeet Som, known as a firebrand Hindu leader, has always been in news for his controversial pro-Hindu statements.
