The spotlight is back on the helplines set up by the VHP and Bajrang Dal across the state to help BJP workers in distress and curb 'love jihad', especially in the background of cabinet minister MB Patil's request to set up a helpline called 'Peaceful Karnataka' to ensure nobody spreads hatred or causes societal unrest
A love jihad helpline has been launched in Karnataka s Managaluru to assist the girls who have allegedly been a victim of forceful religious conversions or interfaith marriages.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has launched this helpline in association with several other Hindu organisations to provide legal and medical assistance to these girls and their family members.
Leaders from religious organisations and the VHP on Saturday submitted a memorandum to Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner to allow religious functions in the district.
MANGALURU: The religious organization in the Dakshina Kannada District, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) are mounting pressure on the District Administration to allow holding of religious functions taking umbrage to the Government’s Order of banning religious functions, while allowing others functions like political, marriages, birthday parties with limited participation.
Sources said the District Administration refused to entertain their plea saying that their hands were tied until the Government reversed the order regarding holding of religious functions.
