The abduction and conversion of Sikh girls is a wake-up call for the Sikh community against favoring Islamists.

After the demon of secularism and Love Jihad stared at the Sikh community right in the face, even the most hypocritical of community leaders have started demanding a ‘Love Jihad’ law on the lines of one introduced in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Reportedly, after two Sikh girls (one minor) were abducted, converted to Islam and married off to Muslim men, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa, requested the central government to implement a strong law anti-conversion law.

I am at Srinagar joining the protest with local Sikh community against forced Nikah and conversions of Sikh daughters who are forced to marry elderly of different religion. I urge Govt of India to take stern action against such kind of Nikah happening in the valley.” tweeted Sirsa.

It is imperative to note that Sirsa was one of the many leaders across the country that had taken dig at the UP government for introducing the legislation against Love Jihad. Sirsa, drenched in his hatred for Hindus had remarked in a rather mocking way that Hinduism was a weak religion that it needed a law to save itself.

How is your religion (Hinduism) so weak that they need help of law to save their religion? Having this kind of religion is a sin in itself. That means there are flaws in your religion. You must remove these flaws in your religion. The ones who are religious leaders have flaws, remove them.”
