BJP demands probe into issue

Thiruvananthapuram: BJP leader Kummanam Rajasekharan has said the complaints raised by the

Synod

should be taken seriously and there should be a probe into the allegations.

He said such complaints are increasing in the state and the Synod’s demand that strict action be taken should be welcomed. “However, finance minister Thomas Isaac is learnt to have rubbished the claims made by the Church. This shows the CPM-Congress jihadi nexus,” he said.

The BJP leader said it is a serious allegation and the state government is turning a blind eye towards the issue.

Hundreds of complaints have been filed in various police stations across the state on the Love Jihad. But no arrests have been made so far in such cases, he alleged.

Meanwhile state police chief Loknath Behera said that they do not have any information on the matter. “If there is anything specific, the police will take necessary action,” he said. tnn
