Bengaluru:
Right-wing organizations, including Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Bajrang Dal and Durga Vahini, the women’s wing of the VHP, organized an awareness programme for parents of young women across many regions of coastal Karnataka on “love jihad” on Wednesday.
This included visiting households, schools, colleges and distributing handbills across Mangaluru city and other parts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kasargod.
“This awareness programme is mainly for girls’ parents; how to take care of girls; monitor their movements,” M.B. Puranik, a VHP working president said on Tuesday. The awareness programme comes a day after two young women near Mangaluru, about 350km from Bengaluru, were assaulted by a group of men from unknown organizations for allegedly going out with Muslim men.
