The Akhil Bhartiya Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram (ABVKA), the tribal wing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), urged the tribal communities in Jharkhand to wage a ‘war’ against purported Bangladeshi migrants who are allegedly trapping the girls in ‘Love Jihad’.
On the conclusion of its three day long meeting held in Samalkha (Haryana) on Sunday, the right wing organisation also warned the tribal community over rapid religious conversion happening in North Eastern states.
Rajkishore Hansda, an ABVKA office bearer who works in Santhal Paragana region in Jharkhand told the audience of over 2,000 people who were attending the event both from India and Nepal, about the rising cases of “Love Jihad” and “Land Jihad” (term coined by right wing groups to describe selling of lands to person from other religion).
“The Muslims from Bangladesh, who have infiltrated the region, are marrying the girls of the Santhal tribe and later claiming their lands as well. We all have to wage Mahabharat (war) against this and protect our sisters and daughters, forests and land as well as our religion,” he said.
