Regulator Orders Removal of 'Love Jihad' Shows

Regulator Orders Removal of 'Love Jihad' Shows

A group of news channels in India showed programs that talked about a letter in a school textbook.

They said the letter was part of something called 'love jihad,' which is a made-up idea that some people use to say Muslim men trick Hindu women into marrying them.

But the letter was just a story in a book for kids.

Some people complained that the news channels were being unfair and making people angry for no good reason.

The people in charge of news rules in India said the channels were wrong and told them to take down the shows.

They said the channels should not have made the story seem like it was true without checking the facts or talking to different people about it.
