In a shocking development, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind had organised a grand get-together with 'only non-Muslim girls and women at Shalimar Function Hall near Kashmir Gadda in Karimnagar on 30 October. However, Telangana police denied permission to the women’s wing of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind after the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's request.
It should be noted that the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind had planned the programme offered to provide lunch to non-Muslim girls and women who attend it. The posters of the invitation went viral on social media.
Soon after it, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) took the objection over the event and requested Karimnagar police commissioner not to grant permission for the get-together. VHP warned of serious consequences if the get-together takes place.
Vutukuru Radhakrishna Reddy, president of the gau Raksha wing of VHP alleged that Jamaat-e-Islami Hind was trying to trap Hindu girls as part of ‘love jihad’.
“The proposed program hurts the self-respect of Hindus,” he said. He demanded that the police should take stringent action against the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind members. He also requested Hindu girls not to attend such programs.
Taking cognizance of the matter, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) requested the Karimnagar police commissioner not to grant permission for the get-together. VHP warned of serious consequences if the get-together takes place.
Following this, the Karimnagar police commissioner denied permission to program. Sensing the possibility for a communal clash, police were deployed in large numbers at the venue to avoid any untoward incident.
