Bangalore: A day after the Karnataka High Court directed the state and Kerala to probe the "Love Jihad movement" where young non-Muslim girls are allegedly trapped into marriage and converted into Islam, the government today decided to convene a meeting of top police officials soon to discuss ways of countering it.

About two to three 'Love Jihad' incidents had come to government's notice and "it looks serious", Karnataka Home Minister V S Acharya told reporters here.

The meeting of police officials would be held either tomorrow or the day after, he said, adding, Karnataka has written to Kerala drawing its attention towards the 'movement' as it had inter-state ramifications.

The state High Court during a hearing on a habeas corpus petition filed by the parents of a girl, who allegedly married a Muslim boy after converting into Islam in Kerala's Mallapuram district, yesterday directed Karnataka and Kerala to jointly probe the 'love jihad movement'.

The girl's father had alleged in his petition that she was confined in a madrasa after the marriage.

The court had asked police to submit a report on the episode within three weeks and said the girl should return to her parents in Chamarajanagar district in Karnataka by then.

Kerala High Court had also recently directed the state government there to provide information on 'Love Jihad', observing that there was a movement or project called 'Love Jihad' or 'Romeo Jihad' conceived by a section of Muslims in Kerala to convert girls from other religions to Islam.

In this concern I would say that the Mangalore pub attack by Sri Rama Sena was right. Bcoz I think they had clue that this type of incidents are happening. But the whole nation misunderstood the organization as hardcore Hinduism. This is becoming a culture that people think when they will oppose the acts of Sri Rama Sena, shiv Sena or RSS they will be appreciated as liberal and secular. which is very much unfortunate. In the flood affected areas of Andhra how many such so called liberal and secular people are engaged with relief work ? No one. But the RSS and the right wing organizations are there who work for the flood-relief. So mu dear compatriots open your eyes. Further before condemning the activities of the right wing organizations tried to find out the reason.
