As the alleged sexual exploitation of five Hindu minor girls by some Muslim men and boys has rocked parts of Rajasthan, the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday demanded a strict law to address love jihad and land jihad. The regional secretary of VHP, Suresh Upadhyay, alleged that both love jihad and land jihad have become nationwide problems, and Rajasthan is also not untouched by them.

According to a report in the Indian Express, Sharma also said that he does not see much difference between the previous Congress government and the current BJP one led by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma.

“After looking at this episode, I don’t see much difference after the change of government. The officers are the same And they act in the way that suits them,” he said, as quoted by The Indian Express.

Upadhyay, citing the alleged Beawar blackmail case, said that the Muslim youths systematically befriend Hindu girls in various ways and exploit them.

According to the PTI report, five minor girls were allegedly exploited and blackmailed by 10 youths, eight of whom are Muslims, and three minor boys, all Muslim, in Beawar district recently. Cases were registered in the Bijainagar police station. Muslim boys deceive Hindu girls, trap them, and then blackmail them by making obscene videos of them under the influence of drugs or threats. Muslim girls also help the Muslim boys in this, he alleged at a press conference in Jaipur. 

Physical exploitation happens, and several cases of gang rape also occur. No town or city in Rajasthan is untouched by love jihad incidents. Many girls end up committing suicide when the truth about these Muslim youths comes out. Their families often hide the incident due to fear of social disgrace, he said. Upadhyay said only a few girls with courage file cases. One such love jihad incident was registered at the Bijainagar police station in Beawar district and another one at Kotwali police station in Bhilwara, he said. 

The VHP leader also claimed that in the past two years, over 24 cases related to love jihad have been registered in Bhilwara alone and added that police do not consider these incidents as love jihad cases but rather as love affairs.
