Daily 15-minute parent-child communication can prevent love jihad – Ramesh Shinde, National Spokesperson, HJS
Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra – Incidents of love jihad are increasing day by day and it has now become a global challenge. Today, many young girls are unable to share their thoughts with their parents, so they look for friends and eventually fall victim to love jihad in many cases. If parents communicate with their children for at least 15 minutes every day, many problems can be solved. In the coming times, instead of becoming helpless, Hindu girls must embody the form of Devi Durga to face incidents like love jihad. This call was made by the National Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Shri. Ramesh Shinde.
He was speaking at a special lecture on the subject of love jihad organised at the Jivhaji Cultural Hall in Ichalkaranji (District Kolhapur). On this occasion, Sadguru Swati Khadye, the Dharmapracharak of Sanatan Sanstha, also guided the attendees.
At the end of the programme, all the attendees resolved to join Hindu Janajagruti Samiti’s ‘Beti Surakshit, Rashtra Surakshit’ campaign. The programme was compered by Shri. Vipul Bhopale.
Parents must be aware of their daughter’s whereabouts and contacts – Ramesh Shinde
Shri. Ramesh Shinde further stated, “In many cities including Sangli, Sambhajinagar, and Satara, there are certain cafes where special rooms are made available for 200 rupees. It is at these places that many Hindu girls are assaulted and fall into the trap of love jihad. Therefore, parents must remain alert and pay attention to where their daughter goes and which people she is in contact with.”
Adherence to Hindu Dharma necessary to stop love jihad – Sadguru Swati Khadye
Sadguru Swati Khadye stated in her address, that love jihad is not just an assault on Hindu daughters, but an attack on Hindu Dharma itself. To stop this, faithful adherence to Hindu Dharma and culture is necessary.
She also made a call to Hindu youth to gift books on love jihad to their sisters on the upcoming Raksha Bandhan.
