NIA to Probe into Matter of ‘Love-Jihad’ Cases of Kerala Christian Girls

New Delhi: National Commission for Minorities (NCM) Vice Chairman George Kurian has raised an alarm over Christian girls in Kerala becoming soft targets for Islamist radicals involved in terror activities and has sought a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the matter.

In a letter to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), he has demanded that the Centre bring a strict law to deal with the organized conversions and also warned that if not checked this could lead to communal disharmony in the state.

Warning the government over the issue, Kurian wrote in the letter dated September 23: “The spate of the organized religious conversions and using the victims for terror activities by trapping them through ‘love jihad’ has shown that Christian community is a soft target for the Islamic radicals.” “The issue is serious as it could lead to communal disharmony in the state. It was found that in most cases, the victims were brainwashed and in some cases, they were used as couriers for terror activities,” Kurian said, adding that many times the victims’ families refused to come out and report the issue fearing threat.
