Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Friday said his government was dealing strictly with those who "trap" Hindu girls and elope with them. Addressing a gathering of Maldhari community, whose traditional occupation is cattle-rearing, in Vasihnodevi Circle area in Ahmedabad, Mr Rupani said the BJP government in the state has also acted tough on those involved in cow slaughter. "My government brought in several laws with strict provisions. Be it the law to save cows from slaughter, the law to stop land grabbing, or the law to punish those involved in chain-snatching," he said. "We also brought a law to stop 'love jihad'. We are dealing strictly with those who trap Hindu girls and elope with them," he said.
