In the latest twist to the conversion controversy, the Bajrang Dal in Uttar Pradesh will launch a new movement from February 17 called "Bahu Laao Beti Bachao" (bring a daughter-in-law, save a daughter).

This is to be the opposite of Love Jihad. "We will spread awareness among boys telling them not to defraud girls and also make sure there is no incentive offered by anyone to marry girls from a different community," says Bajrang Dal's Ajju Chouhan. Really?
