BJP’s statement on love jihad ridiculous: Popular Front

Mangaluru, Nov 06: Karnataka State Unit of Popular front of India has defined BJP’s statement on Love Jihad as ridiculous.

“The Police, investigation agencies and central government have already clarified that love jihad does not exist. Yet BJP led Karnataka Govt’s statement regarding it is ridiculous,” State president Yasir Hasan stated in a press statement.

The chief Minister and his Ministers are speaking on bringing Unlawful conversion act. It is a direct attack on the fundamental right- the freedom of Religion

“Amidst the allegations Kerala and Karnataka police have investigated love jihad issue and concluded it to be pointless. NIA has confirmed that Love Jihad is a tool used by right wing extremists to polarise the communities and is part of its smear campaign. This February, BJP led Central Govt. has affirmed that there’s no report of love jihad in a written order. Yet state BJP leaders are busy propagating this illusionary love jihad by giving life to it. This is a matter of shame,” he said.

“The chief Minister and his Ministers are speaking on bringing Unlawful conversion act. It is a direct attack on the fundamental right- the freedom of Religion. BJP is creating an atmosphere of fear and unrest, by its propaganda on love jihad which doesn’t even exist in true sense. Mandir construction, cow slaughter, Ghar vapsi are BJP’s trump card on politics of emotion. Since 2009 the Sangh parivar has brought this imaginary phantasm into limelight by which it is successful in dividing the communities,” he added.

Yasir Hasan also urged people to be aware of BJP-sangh parivar’s hate and communal political polarisation and also called people of the state to come forward and reject the plot of false propaganda spread by Hindu fanatics.
