The Hindu Jagran Manch (HJM) has launched a campaign called “beti bachao, bahu lao” in response to “love jihad”. The group, which is affiliated to RSS, plans to wed 2,100 Muslim women to Hindu men in a matter of six months, the Indian Express reported.

The Indian Express quoted Ajju Chauhan, the state chief of HJM as saying:

Only Hindu girls are being targeted by Muslim youths in love jihad. They hide their Muslim identity, wear sacred thread on wrists, <i>tilak</i> on forehead and even recite <i>Hanuman Chalisa to trap Hindu girls… jo jis bhasha me samjhega usko waise samjhayenge</i> (We will teach them in their own language).

He went on to claim that this initiative is a form of population control measure: as muslim women have more babies in comparison to hindu women.
