Interfaith News - Over 100 BJP, right-wing workers booked for protesting interfaith marriage in UP

I hope the Indian public will see thru these political stunts by a few with their divide and rule policies. Let people marry who they want, and let people any religion they want, what is the matter in praying to God in every which way? If people want to convert for the sake of additional harmony in the family, let them.  Let freedom prevail.

This is a surprisingly pleasant news that the state stopped the bad guys from coming in between a marriage.

Over 100 BJP, right-wing workers booked for protesting interfaith marriage in UP

Ajay Sharma claimed it was a case of "love jihad", while police said the man and the woman were old friends and worked in a multinational company.

More than a hundred workers of the BJP and other right-wing groups were booked for allegedly disrupting the marriage of a Hindu woman with a Muslim man in the Rajnagar area here, police said on Saturday.

The father of the bride claimed a large group of BJP workers led by the party city unit chief, Ajay Sharma, and some people belonging to right-wing groups protested outside his residence on Friday and disrupted traffic.

Police said they used mild force to disperse the protesters.

Sharma claimed it was a case of “love jihad”, while police said the man and the woman were old friends and worked in a multinational company.

Senior Superintendent of Police HN Singh said two FIRs had been registered against 113 people in connection with the incident under relevant provisions of the law.

The marriage was later solemnized in a court.
