Mangaluru, Oct 5: "Jihadis who trap youngsters for the specific purpose of religious conversions need to be prepared to face backlash from the 'Durgavahini' activists. In retaliation to these tactics, Hindus know how to hoodwink Muslim girls and get them converted in the name of love and make them to wear Bindis on their foreheads. Hindu society will never cease to fight against Love Jihad and religious conversions," warned Chitra Kundapur.
She was delivering the keynote address at a mega awareness meet organized on Monday October 4 at Suratkal. The programme was held under the aegis of Suratkal unit of Bajrang Dal, Durgavahini unit at Suratkal. "We keep hearing the comments that Bajrang Dal activists are vagabonds and petty rowdies. We want to educate such people that the activists of the organization have engaged themselves in protection of their motherland, as well as the womenfolk of the community. They also fought against the pandemic at the risk of loving lives at the trying times of Covid19 infection. Bajrang Dal workers never engaged in sale of ganja, drugs etc to lead a luxurious life. Jihadis who enter the cattle sheds of people and flash swords at the families should henceforth be wary of losing their limbs," she warned.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad divisional secretary Sharan Pumpwell, said that the Hindu society fights against the girls of the community getting converted after falling prey to the farce of love, become ISIS operatives or turn into corpses. "Our organizations fight against religious bigots who are backed by the drugs racket and Love Jihad strategists. We never engaged in moral policing or attacking people after intercepting vehicles. Durgavahini and Bajrang Dal will be always ready to carry on fight till the women in the coast are safe, and drugs as well as Love Jihad are driven away from coastal Karnataka," he stated.
Tulu Academy member Shanti Shetty, called upon the Hindu society as a whole to unitedly rise against the bane of religious conversions and Love Jihad. She regretted the fact that many Hindus speak ill of their own community. She warned such people that they will have to cover themselves except for the eyes if Taliban government is formed here. She pointed out that in Indian culture, women are revered and worshipped.
On this occasion, on behalf of Bajrang Dal Durgavahini Suratkal unit, a memorandum addressed to the state home minister seeking to strengthen the law aimed at stopping religious conversions and Love Jihad, was handed over through MLA Y Bharat Shetty.
Bajrang Dal divisional convener Bhujanga Kulal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad district president Gopal Kuthar, Durgavahini district convener Shweta Adyapady, and Vishwa Hindu Parishad Suratkal unit secretary Jayaram Acharya were present. Bajrang Dal and Durgavahini activists participated.
