EC seeks report on BJP pick's 'love jihad' remark

T’puram: EC on Monday sought a report from Thiruvananthapuram district collector over BJP’s Kattakkada candidate P K Krishnadas’s controversial speech saying the victory of LDF or UDF would promote ‘love jihad‘ in Kerala. EC has also sought legal advice on the matter.At an election rally inaugurated by Union home minister Amit Shah, Krishnadas alleged that LDF and UDF were hand-in-glove with Social Democratic Party of India and Jamaat-e-Islami, and that votes in favour of either front would lead to widespread incidents of ‘love jihad’. He further alleged that JEI or SDPI would control the govt if UDF or LDF came to office.Krishnadas alleged that pro-Pakistan extremist organisations would actively promote ‘love jihad’. “Hindu and Christian girls would be trapped in ‘love jihad’. These elements would then use them for anti-national activities,” he said.Stressing that CPM and Congress were one and the same, he said, “Votes cast in favour of Congress or CPM would lead to ‘love jihad’. Such a situation is likely to emerge in Kerala.”BJP state chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar sought to distance BJP from the comment, saying the party did not subscribe to the fears expressed by Krishnadas.
