A “love jihad helpline” has been launched to assist the girls who are victims of forceful religious conversions or interfaith marriages in Karnataka’s Managaluru. With several other Hindu organizations, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has launched this helpline. “Many Hindu girls have been converted to Islam, killed, and used to smuggle drugs in the name of love, we have seen all this in coastal Karnataka for many years. That’s why, to prevent all such incidents, we have started this ‘Love Jihad Helpline’ which can be accessed by anyone who has been trapped in the Love Jihad,” Pradeep Saripalla said.
