Kochi: The joint statement issued by the Muslim leaders regarding the love jihad is whitewashing the culprits, accused PK Krishnadas, BJP state president. Tensions are created in the society by those who work behind the ‘Love Jihad’. The Muslim leaders are challenging the victims instead of expressing solidarity with them, he accused while speaking at the press club in Alappuzha.
He attacked the CPI (M) and the Congress, saying they were keeping silent in order to gain the votes of the minorities. He expressed his hope that a majority in the Muslim community would oppose such ‘dangerous trend’. “This is not a matter of religious belief. Every person has the right to accept any religion willingly. But forced conversion is not the right method. Hindus and Christians have been victims to the ‘love jihad’. All religions should oppose such trends in unison,” he said. He added that the DGP had expressed conflicting opinions in the matter.
In another development, the People’s Democratic Party spoke accused the RSS in the matter of ‘love jihad’. PDP state general secretary KS Naser accused that it was the RSS which began to love girls and then leave them in the streets. The RSS began such activities in the 1980s and the government should conduct probe into the love marriages since that time, he demanded in the press conference held in Alappuzha.
“Those who want a probe into the ‘love jihad’ should actually probe into the activities of the RSS. Muslim organisations responded against abusing the Muslim community through the imaginary organisation called ‘love jihad’. Muslims do not encourage love relations on threatening. The BJP president PK Krishnadas has responded without really reading the statement of the Muslim leaders,” he said. Mr Naser added that the organisations have also expressed opposition in the Court’s mention of the ‘love jihad’ which is a creation of the Sangh Parivar.
