Hindu-Muslim wedding: Communal groups call for bandh; several booked

April 14, 2016

Mandya, Apr 14: The Mandya East police have registered a suo motu case against some members of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bajrang Dal, and Vishwa Hindu Parishad for staging protests outside the residence of paediatrician H.V. Narendra Babu.

youhMeanwhile, the agitation against the marriage of Hindu girl N Ashitha with her Muslim friend on April 17 in Mysuru from the Hinduva extremists, have received severe criticism from various quarters.

Dr Babu fixed his daughter's marriage with Shakeel Ahamed, the son of businessman Mukther Ahamed. Terming it as a conspiracy to convert Ms. Ashitha from Hinduism to Islam, members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) have staged several agitations here since Tuesday morning.

Show of support

Following the protests, members of various non-governmental organisations and rationalists visited Mr. Babu's residence at Ashok Nagar on Wednesday to express their solidarity with him.

Members of Janwadi Mahila Sanghatane (JMS), led by State president K.S. Vimala, met Dr Babu's family and extended their support. They condemned the agitations staged outside Dr Babu's residence on Tuesday and near Sri Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar Circle of the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway on Wednesday, and urged fringe right-wing groups not to “snatch the rights of choice” from Dr Babu's family.

JMS district president Devi said that she would display a banner outside the marriage hall in Mysuru. She criticised the threats from BJP and other groups, to the inter-religious marriage. “The agitations are shameful acts,” Shambhunahalli Suresh, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) leader, said. Inter-caste and inter-religious marriages are the only weapons for the development of society, Mr. Suresh said. He added that while his daughter is married to a youth from a different caste, his son will shortly get married to a girl of another caste.

Meanwhile, the Mandya police have provided armed security at Mr. Babu's residence following threats from the Hindutva groups. On the other hand, the Hindutva groups have called for a bandh on April 15 against the proposed marriage.

It is not function of RSS to provide protection to those people, its for the state to do so, in which it has utterly failed. Your argument is like, yeah he might be thief but rather than arresting him why dont you beef up security of your home, that's just absurd. Rather than calling upon reforms in islamic faith you are saying-\fine to a certain extent is true\" this meek response is just like justifying this as a natural state of affairs."

lets say if this so called Love Jihad exists, though you must not call every inter-religious marriages as Love Jihad. Second point is, RSS is saying muslims and other religions use marriages as a tool to increase their numbers, fine at certain extent its true, since at some point the couples are forced to convert to other religions to convince their parents and community, the religious community, but mind it, you can't call it Love Jihad, but it is due to the mind set of other religions, its a fact you have to accept it. But, if RSS is soo great and right then what they must do is to protect the people who do inter-religious marriages without conversion. Will they ever do that ?.... I don't think so, what RSS is trying to do is the opposite, they want to use marriages as a tool to increase the Hindu population. As a Hindu I can never support that, there is nothing great about it !!

Soon the sanghis will take back India to stone age!! What are they upto? Marriage is purely a personal affair between two individuals, no matter what religion or caste they belong to. As long as the two individuals have consented others have no business in coming in their way. All Indians should unite and fight against the atrocities of sanghis against the fundamental rights of every citizen. This kind of hooliganism shall not be tolerated any more.

These acts of \intolerance\" are the result of the one-sided tolerance that incessantly takes place in our society, and which imparity is routinely ignored by the secularists. Hindus marrying Christians or Muslims are invariably required to convert, and/or their children brought up in the non-Hindu faith. In the rare case where a Muslim may convert out of his or her own volition, the end is often bloody and tragic as I can personally vouch from observation. It is invariably the Muslim party's own family that slaughters one or both individuals. And these are not country hicks who don't know better... these are well-educated urbane families that are doyens of the society that they dwell in!"

It is a constitutional right of the Girl & the Boy. Those who oppose this are actually opposing the constitution, and hence are Anti-Nationals. BJP as a political party should be banned for being anti-constitution.

Mangaluru/Bengaluru, Jan 23: A day after two senior functionaries of the BJP — a deputy chief minister and a political secretary to the chief minister — made provocative speeches against a minority community, Nalin Kumar Kateel, state president of the saffron party, on Wednesday issued a gag order, banning functionaries from talking on issues without the party’s approval.

Deputy CM Govind Karjol and Honnalli legislator MP Renukacharya had passed comments castigating Muslims, in the process seriously denting the image of the party which is trying to avoid controversies in its efforts to allay fears on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. The comments come on the heels of Ballari City legislator Somashekara Reddy warning Muslims at a pro-CAA rally of repercussions if they do not fall in line.

Kateel said a gag order has been “clearly” communicated to all concerned at a recent meeting that he and chief minister BS Yediyurappa had chaired. “Our message to party functionaries is in line with what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told his council of ministers and party MPs — to focus on their work and constituencies rather than comment on issues. Let them leave this task to official spokespersons of the party,” Kateel said.

However, it appears the message hasn’t gone through to Renukacharya, Yediyurappa’s political secretary. A day after courting controversy by saying anti-nationals were using mosques to store weapons, Renukacharya said he stood by his comments and launched a fresh tirade against madrasas, saying they were manipulating youth and encouraging terrorism.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Renukacharya said: “In our [temple-run] institutions, nothing anti-national is taught. We only teach values that are mandated for life. But at madrasas, youth are manipulated by teaching terrorism. Why do we need such schools? The majority of those accused of terrorism are Muslims.”

He immediately followed up this comment by saying he did not imply all Muslims were terrorists. The Honnalli MLA justified his comments saying he did not receive a single Muslim vote in the 2018 assembly elections. “They [Muslims] come to us seeking our help. They want the BJP for development, but when it comes to elections, they vote for Congress and JD(S),” Renukacharya said. He said no “special packages” will be distributed to Muslims in his constituency.

These parties and his ministers having nothing to do in the name of governance. Only divide society and preach hatred. Did he mention anything about the inflation, vegetable prices, there are many. Cheap politics I urge every Indian to open up your eyes and mind. This politician whichever party they belong we have appointed them to benefit us. Instead of that they are benefitting from us and are using us for their gains.
