Love Jihad is being encouraged due to tombs : BJP

BJP’s Uttar Pradesh province minister and Yuva Morcha leader Abhijat Mishra had written a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath demanding immediate removal of the tombs. He alleged that these illegal constructions are posing a threat to the security of the institution.
