Success to Hindu Unity – Foreign preachers barred from Meelad un Nabi event in Bengaluru

Bengaluru – The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti had written to the FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Officer), the Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru and the MHA (Immigration) regarding a widely publicised Eid Meelad un Nabi event that featured participation of foreign preachers. The Samiti had raised the issue of foreign Islamic preachers possibly engaging in proselytisation or religious propagation using tourist or conference visas which is prohibited by Indian law.

A massive Eid Meelad un Nabi conference (to celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad) has been organised on the Palace Grounds in Bengaluru on the 5th of September. While the list of Chief Guests included the CM, DCM and the Home Minister of Karnataka, what raised eyebrows was a list of Islamic preachers from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Yemen who featured on the guest list. The Samiti appealed to the government to uphold the guidelines of the MHA regarding the participation of these preachers.

The government of Karnataka took note of the concerns raised by the HJS. Home Minister G Parameshwara clarified that the police administration had directed the organisers of the conference to not invite any foreign preachers to avoid potential visa violations.

The HJS offers its gratitude to all the Hindu groups who assisted the Samiti in ensuring that law and order are upheld. The HJS also appeals to the Hindus to remain alert and employ all legal means to safeguard the Nation & Dharma.
