Mangaluru : Vishwa Hindu Parishad  will hold a placard protest on August 11 between 7.30am and 9am. in Ullal against anti-national activities in the coastal region.

VHP regional secretary Sharan Pumpwell said that the coastal region has been witnessing anti-national activities. “The recent arrest by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Ullal proves that the anti-nationals have made the coastal region their centre of activities. Hindu community should wake up against such terror activities. Hence, we have called upon the community to take part in the placard protest in all wards of Ullal,” he said.

The NIA operations brought to light a fact that a Hindu woman was engaged in terror activities after her religious conversion, he said.

“It was a Love Jihad that a Hindu woman has been converted into Islam through an inter-religious marriage. We have already requested the central government to set up a unit of the NIA in Mangaluru to check terror activities in the coastal region effectively. A special police team also should be formed to investigate the Love Jihad incidents,” Sharan urged.

He alleged that educated Hindu girls from reputed families are being targeted by the terror elements. Community organisations should hold meetings and create awareness against Love Jihad among youth, he added.
