Last Updated 02 January 2018, 17:43 IST

Vishwa Hindu Parishat, Bajrang Dal and Durgavahini will organise an awareness programme against love jihad from January 3 to 15.

Briefing reporters here on Tuesday, VHP working president Prof M B Puranik said that te awareness programme will be organised at ward and village levels. A committee will be constituted for every village and a meeting will be convened once a month.

He said that the entire Hindu society should be united to oppose love jihad. "Police should initiate tough action against those who support Muslim jihadi. There has been decline in the number of Hindus in the society. Hindu boys are not getting suitable girls for marriage. In such a situation, a conspiracy is being made through love jihad to convert Hindus to Muslims," he said.

M B Puranik said that, "The awareness campaign will commence from Shree Laxminarayan temple near PVS. "

Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell said that, "There is a conspiracy of PFI behind love jihad. This is another face of terrorism. A memorandum has been submitted to Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman demanding NIA probe into love jihad." Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has been urged to order a thorough probe into Reshma's incident wherein a law student of Mangaluru had married a Muslim youth from Mumbai
