Kareena Kapoor Khan's photo used in posters against 'Love Jihad' at Rajasthan fair
The three-day exhibition program organized by Hindu Spirituality and Service Foundation (HSSF) in Jaipur is fuming 'controversy' in all over the nation.
In this fair, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal have also installed their counter, in which the pamphlets are being distributed to the people coming to this fair. A warning has been written about 'love jihad' in this pamphlet, in which photo of film actress Kareena Kapoor has been placed.
In half the face, Kareena has been displayed by putting a bindi, the other half of actress' face is covered in a 'burqa'. In this pamphlet, it is written that Muslim youth are converting Hindu women and 'Love Jihad' is one of the ways.
The pamphlet aimed at spreading awareness read, “Frequently check the female’s belongings, call and SMS details, warn the Muslim boy if found with a Hindu girl, call Muslims as disgusting/terrorist/smuggler/traitor/Pakistan supporter in front of females at home.”
According to the reports published in The Wire, when a question was raised on the content and photo of pamphlet then Bajrang Dal’s Coordinator, Chauthmal Gupta said, “The reason for using Kareena Kapoor Khan’s case was to make these kids, who idolise all the Khans, understand that love jihad is a trap.”
Through these controversial pamphlet, an appeal has been made to avoid 'love jihad' by giving example of Bollywood star Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan in the book.
