After Yogi Adityanath government's clearance of a draft ordinance in Uttar Pradesh against forceful inter-faith conversions, also dubbed as love jihad stirred the political pot, Colaba MLA Rahul Narwekar has waded into the controversy.

Narwekar said he wants Maharashtra to introduce a "similar law." In a tweet, he said that he has made a request and expects the Maharashtra government to introduce the same in the forthcoming legislative session in December, "failing which I shall move a Private Member Bill in this behalf." A Private Member Bill is a bill (proposed law) introduced into a legislature by a legislator who is not acting on behalf of the executive branch. A private member is the Member of Parliament who is not a minister.
