The statistics reveals that so far 2,667 girls in Kerala have reverted to Islam during the last years. The news did not go down well with the people and in order to curb the reversion of people to Islam, people began to lay allegation of Jihad-e-Ishq (using love as a tool for reversion). The news of a Kochi girl reverting to marry a Muslim boy was used to provoke the phenomenon of Jihad-e-Ishq. Chief Minister Oomen Chandy in his statement said that there has been not a single case of reversion through Jihad-e-Ishq and all the girls have accepted Islam by their own free will. He further said that no one will be permitted to harass Muslims and put allegations of Jihad-e-Ishq on them as the allegation is baseless.
