AAP welcomes BJP's stand on inter-faith marriages

Delhi's ruling am Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday said it welcomed BJP's support to inter-faith and inter-religious marriages.

"Irrespective of our political ideologies, I welcome Manoj Tiwari ji who has supported inter-faith and inter-religious marriages by consenting adults," AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj tweeted.

His remarks came a day after the Delhi BJP unit chief Manoj Tiwari condemned the alleged honour killing of 23-year-old Ankit Saxena in the city.

Saxena, a photographer, was allegedly killed by the family of a woman he was in a relationship with. According to Delhi Police, the woman's family was against their relationship as they belonged to different communities and had told him to end it.
