"Define what is Love Jihad, provide data of such incidents in Parliament": AIMIM chief Owaisi on RSS chief's remark

Amravati (Maharashtra) [India], January 4 (ANI): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday strongly responded to a recent statement on 'Love Jihad' by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, stating that Sangh Parivar and BJP should provide concrete records and evidence if any such thing is actually happening in the society.
Speaking to reporters, Owaisi said, "If it's an adult making their own decision, then our likes or dislikes are irrelevant. If love jihad is happening, then why do they not present the data in the parliament ? Provide records from all the states where you are present, showing instances of love jihad occurring there. They should define what love jihad is. The youth of this nation needs employment, and you are taking them somewhere else."
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said the efforts to prevent 'love Jihad' must begin within families. He made these remarks at 'Stri Shakti Samvad' programme in Bhopal.
In December 2025, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday highlighted the importance of maintaining the family structure in society."Regarding the concept of live-in relationships.
He claimed that people in live-in relationships are "not ready to take responsibility".
"Regarding the concept of live-in relationships. You're not ready to take responsibility. This isn't right. The family, marriage, is not just a means of physical satisfaction. It's a unit of society. The family is where an individual learns how to live in society. People's values come from there," RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said.
RSS Sarsanghchalak was speaking at an event in West Bengal's Kolkata. He said that the family unit is a confluence of culture, economy, and shapes society through. (ANI)
