Jaipur: In a fair organised by Hindu Spiritual and Service Foundation in Jaipur, venomous literature against Muslims is being distributed. Muslim youths are accused of wooing Hindu girls in a bid to convert them to Islam.
The education department recommended that the fair should be attended by students of government and private schools. In a chapter titled ‘Jihad and Love Jihad: Hindu girls beware’, it is said that Muslim men are out on a ‘Love Jihad’ mission and there is a detailed list of ways and methods being adopted by Muslim boys to lure and trap Hindu girls.
Compiled by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal, the pamphlets and books mention how Muslim boys gain entry into Hindu households, proclaim themselves as Hindus, run around doing their chores and indulge in intimate talks.
The bigotry literature also used the image of actress Kareena Kapoor Khan to drive home the message and gave examples of actors Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan alleging that they married Hindu girls, ensnared them and then deserted them.
It further says that Muslim men, generally, sell girls or kill them in some cases and claim money as a Muslim man for ‘converting a Hindu woman to Islam’.
Another chapter gives instructions on “how to save your daughter/sister from Love Jihad. “Check your daughter’s mobile phone, who does she call, whose numbers are saved in the mobile, what and who do they text, checking all this will give you a lot of information,” it suggests.
President Subhash Bapna feigned ignorance saying that he was in Udaipur while co secretary of the HSSF and retired police officer Rajendra Singh Shekhawat denied that any material related to ‘Love Jihad’ is being circulated in the fair.
