We get to hear a lot about religious conversions and love jihad nowadays because the governments and the public have also started taking such incidents in a serious manner and social media has played an important role in making people aware of these incidents.
Recently, the Education Minister of Rajasthan, Madan Dilawar suspended two teachers who were employed in a Kota based government school as they were allegedly involved in religious conversions and love jihad and it is being said that they are associated with banned jihadi organizations.
Madan Dilawar issued a video statement in which he said, “In the Khajoori village of Sangod panchayat samiti in Kota district, the religion of a girl in senior secondary school was mentioned as ‘Islam’ in the transfer certificate of a girl despite her being a Hindu. A conspiracy of religious conversion and ‘love jihad’ is happening there. Hindu girls are being forced to offer namaz. This has come to our notice.”
He further explained, “As soon as this was brought to my notice, I decided to take strict action against three teachers. In this context, I suspended two teachers – Firoz Khan and Mirza Mujahideen. Further action is being taken against one Shabana. All three of them have been sent to Bikaner. I will take strict action against them after a detailed investigation. If needed, I will expel them.”
The action was taken only after a Hindu group, Sarv Hindu Samaj, Sangod gave a memorandum to the minister in this regard.
This is really a serious matter and it should be investigated in a proper manner.
