Vishwa Hindu Parishad campaign against ‘Love Jihad’ from today
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal have decided to conduct a massive public awareness programme about Love Jihad from January 3 to 18.
“There is a big network of Love Jihad in the coastal region. Young Hindu girls are lured by Muslim boys with a Jihadist mindset. These girls are converted and used for anti-national activities. This is a plot to destroy Hindu dharma,” VHP Pranth Pramukh M.B. Puranik told reporters.
“Our volunteers will visit houses and also distribute the pamphlets among college students and working women,” he said.
A committee will be formed in every village comprising of caste-based organisations, Hindu outfits, leaders and NGOs to chalk out programmes to stop Love Jihad. “We are not against love or inter-religious marriage. Nor are we against any community. There are many cases where people of two different religions have married and are leading a happy life. But we are concerned about recent developments where Hindu girls are being lured by Muslims with a Jihadist mindset,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bajrang Dal convener Sharan Pumpwell has written to Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis to refer Reshma VK’s case to the NIA for an investigation. A Hindu girl, Reshma VK hails from Kasargod but had settled in Mangaluru and was studying here. She had allegedly gone with a Muslim boy, Mohammed Iqbal Umar Choudhari, to Mumbai five months ago. Reshma’s parents brought her back to Mangaluru.
Mohammed Iqbal then approached a Mumbai court and filed a kidnap case. However, the girl submitted an affidavit to the Mumbai police chief clarifying that she is staying with her parents without any pressure. On Tuesday, Sharan wrote a letter to Fadnavis to refer the case to NIA as this was a case of Love Jihad.
