Bajrang Dal, VHP Rally in Indore to Urge Presidential Action Over Alleged ‘Love Jihad

The appeals highlight a campaign that frames interfaith relationships as coercive conversions.

Overview

  • At Indore’s Rajwada Square, Bajrang Dal and VHP set up a public stage, drew a large crowd, and submitted a memorandum to the President of India calling for action on what they allege are rising anti-social activities and ‘love jihad’.
  • The memorandum cites cases it links to a planned conspiracy, points to incidents discussed in Nashik, and seeks action in Uttar Pradesh against Changur alias Jamaluddin and Nasreen for alleged exploitation, blackmail, and forced conversion.
  • Protest leaders also asked for an impartial probe into alleged suspicious links involving AL-Falah University and flagged what they call illegal encroachments on forest, public, railway, and defense land nationwide.
  • Addressing the gathering, Durga Vahini coordinator Jyoti Priya Sharma said such activities threaten internal security and communal harmony and claimed that women are also involved.
  • A separate memo reported from Himachal Pradesh shows VHP pressing the President for stricter anti-conversion laws while alleging land encroachments and food contamination, though the coverage offers no independent verification or official responses.
