After much controversy over ‘Ghar Wapsi’ programme of Dharam Raksha samiti, now the Bajrang Dal is all set to launch ‘Bahu laao, Beti Bachao Abhiyan,’ in Uttar Pradesh from the second week of February.
Under the programme, the Hindutva outfit members will visit girls’ colleges to create awareness about ‘love jehad’. Members will also approach mothers having sons of marriageable age in order to persuade them to allow marriage of their sons to those Muslim or Christian girls who are willing to marry into Hindu families.
UP co-convener of Bajrang Dal Avneendra Pratap Singh alias Ajju Chauhan said that ‘Bahu laao, Beti Bachao’ campaign is aimed at stemming the ‘love jehad’ campaign by Muslims in the country.
He said, “Hindu community is being targeted with this concept. Hindu girls are cheated in the name of marriage and then sold into different corners of country. We are doing this for protection of Hindu girls. But we guide Hindu men to respect and welcome girls of another religions.”
