The Shiv Sena (UBT) criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party over a march against "love-Jihad" that was carried out by right-wing groups and questioned the need for such a protest when the "so-called Hindutvavadi government" is in power at the Centre and Maharashtra. 

The Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena said in Shiv Sena party's mouthpiece Saamana, that BJP plays its "trump card" whenever it feels jolts of defeat. It further said, now they have begun the game of playing the Hindu-Muslim card.

On Sunday, activists of right-wing organisations took out a 'Hindu Jan Akrosh Morcha' in Mumbai against 'love jihad' and demanded anti-conversion laws and a crackdown on land grabbing in the name of religion. Leaders and workers of outfits including the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Bajrang Dal, and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) were present in the rally.  Sakal Hindu Samaj organsied the rally which began from Shivaji Park in Dadar.

"There is a so-called fierce Hindutvavadi government in the state as well at the Centre. Then how come your (the ones who took out the rally) Hindutva is in danger? "With Modi-Shah at the Centre, there is a Ramrajya and this state is a heaven for Hindus.this is what their (supporters of the BJP) people say. So it is surprising that there was still the 'Aakrosh' morcha (rally)," it said.

The Saamana further said such a march would have made sense if the Muslim League had been (ruling) the Centre and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) government in Maharashtra. 

"If there is a question of love-jihad or forced conversion then there should be a strong law. But whenever elections are around the corner there is a talk of 'Hindutva being in danger' in BJP-ruled states," it said.
