Meerut: Saffron outfits have jumped to the aid of a two-month pregnant Hindu woman who claims she was being pressurized to convert to Islam before she can marry her Muslim lover.Bajrang Dal leaders on Thursday staged a protest outside the SSP’s office and demanded that the accused be charged with the National Security Act (NSA).
Balraj Dungar, convener of Bajrang Dal in Meerut, said, “This is a clear case of love jihad, something we have always been opposing. In this case, a Muslim man faked his identity to befriend a Hindu woman. He is forcing her to convert after impregnating her. This is unacceptable.” SP (rural) MM Beg had to pacify them and assure them that the culprits would not be shown any leniency.
The woman told TOI, “I had been living with Aavesh Saifi for the last two years. On February 3, his father Yusuf Saifi and brother Sajid Saifi came to know about our relationship. They refused to accept me unless I convert to Islam. I do not want to change my religion at any cost. Now, I am two-months pregnant with his child.”
