Prevention of Love Jihad does not require special law: Home Minister Araga Jnanendra
Chitradurga: In the background of demands by Hindutva groups to formulate new laws against Love Jihad, Home Minister Araga Jnanendra said that the anti-conversion law consisted of sections that additionally aimed to prevent ‘Love Jihad’. Therefore, a special law to prevent it is not required, he informed.
On Wednesday, the Minister was responding to questions from the media regarding certain sections of Sangh Parivar’s demand for a new law against Love Jihad. Concerning this, Araga Jnanendra said, “There is no need to formulate specific laws and create a special task to prevent Love Jihad in the state”, he clarified.
“The anti-conversion law currently enforced in the state consists of sections against this. Therefore, the requirement for a specific law or task force in this regard does not arise. Despite this, we will scrutinize this subject”, he said.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
