BJP's Ishrat Jahan threatened after attending 'Hanuman Chalisa' event

West Bengal's Triple Talaq petitioner Ishrat Jahan who joined BJP last year, on Thursday alleged harassment and life threats after she attended a Hindu religious event, police said.

Jahan had attended BJP's 'Hanuman Chalisa Paath' (a religious recital) event after which people of her community confronted her for attending the same event wearing a Hijab.

According to Jahan, she attended the event as many Hindu persons take part in Namaz reading events and she doesn't see anything wrong in it.
