FB post 'justifies' moral policing

A Facebook page 'Veera Kesari' has justified the act of some members of a Hindu outfit slapping a few students at Manasa Amusement Park at Pilikula on January 2.

The post said that, "Slapping is the last resort to check Hindu girls from roaming with boys from other religions." It further stated that love jihad is responsible for anti-religious activities in the society which is eroding religious and cultural values. "Religious education would have prevented such incidents in the society," the post read.

Warning girl students in and around Moodbidri, the post urged them not to roam with boys from other religions or else they will face the music. "You may have hundreds of reasons to roam. We have given enough advises and warnings. There are enough people to keep an eye on such activities in colleges in Moodbidri," the post read.

"We have learned that girls go on tours with Muslim boys. If we find girls roaming with Muslim/Christian boys, then girls will get more slaps than the boys," the post warned. "This is not just a Facebook or WhatsApp message. We have made enough preparations to implement the plan," the post stated.

The post has gone viral on social media.
