BJP Leader PC George Sparks Controversy Yet Again by Reviving Love Jihad Claims

Published

on

Just over a week after being granted bail in a hate speech case, former MLA and senior BJP figure PC George has sparked new controversy by advising Christian families to marry off their daughters before they turn 24, claiming it would help them avoid the alleged danger of “love jihad.”

Speaking at an event organized by the KCBC Temperance Commission in Pala on Sunday, George asserted that marrying daughters off earlier would shield them from what he described as the rising threat of love jihad.

He claimed that approximately 400 girls from Meenachil taluk had been victims of love jihad, with only 41 having been rescued. “In Meenachil taluk of Kottayam alone, 400 girls were victims of inter-religious marriages, and out of this number, only 41 could be brought back,” George stated.

The BJP leader further addressed the topic of marriage age within Christian families, suggesting that girls should be wed by 22. He urged parents to acknowledge reality and ensure their daughters marry early. “Christian parents often delay marriage until their daughters turn 25 or even 30. Just yesterday, a 25-year-old girl from Bharananganam went missing, and they are still searching for her. Shouldn’t we hold her father accountable for not marrying her off sooner? Parents should ideally arrange marriages by 18 and certainly before 22,” George commented.

The Muslim Youth League has filed a complaint against George in Pala, marking a continuation of the legal actions following his prior alleged hate speech during a television debate, which led to his arrest. The Youth League claims that George has violated the conditions of his bail in that case.
