Vidya Dinker seeks Home Minister’s intervention to stop saffronists’ Lie Jihad in coastal Karnataka

Mangaluru, Dec 30: Vidya Dinker, activist and convener of the Citizens Forum For Mangalore Development, has sought Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy’s immediate intervention to prevent saffron outfits from spreading communal hatred and lies in the name of Love Jihad.

Love Jihad is a term that is widely used by rightwing outfits like Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal to create an impression in the society that Muslim boys target young girls belonging to Hindu community for conversion to Islam by feigning love. However, Muslims dismiss the allegation as ‘lie jihad’ by saffron outfits aimed at creating hatred between communities for political gains.

In a memorandum addressed to Home Minister and submitted to Mangaluru City Police Commissioner T R Suresh on Friday, Ms Dinker alleged that right wing elements are actively trying to import and embed the fake concept of ‘love jihad’ into coastal district of Dakshina Kannada to instigate communal tensions. Recently two incidents (of interfaith affairs) have been blown out of proportion under this concept and there is every likelihood of the situation getting out of control if their activities are not curbed, she said.

“A local godman called Rajashekaranand Swami of Vajradehi Mutt has announced the formation of his Special Task Force (STF) against so called Love Jihad to keep an eye on and rein in Hindu girls. If this is allowed to go unchecked, we can expect more of organised trouble in the near future,” she pointed out in the memorandum.

She also said that the citizens of Mangaluru were deeply disappointed with the police department as the incidents of immoral policing were being reported frequently for the past few months.

“The Mangaluru region was notorious for immoral policing of right wing outfits. This was one of the reasons for the huge victory of Congress Party in the previous assembly elections as people had placed their hopes in your party to curb right wing mafia activities. Though your government has given us a brief spell of peace, we are alarmed to see anti-social elements once again attempting to take charge of the city and dismayed to observe the inability of the police to respond effectively to its growing menace to the public,” the memorandum stated.

It is not lie jihad. Its love jihad only. One of the top sdpi leader's (kerala) video shows that they only claimed that they are doing conversion. One media exposed that. In that video they are told, if rss not there, they could have turn entire india into muslim country. Soon that going to happen in karnataka. Those people working behind for that.

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.
