She further said, the sanyasis say that in the world created by God, eliminate all the oppressors and sinners. Respond in the same way to those involved in love jihad. Protect your girls, teach them the right values.
She had said that, “Sanyasis say eliminate all the tyrants and sinners in this world created by God, otherwise the true definition of love will not survive here. So give the same answer to the people involved in love jihad. Protect your girls, Teach them the right values.”
