Terming Bajrang Dal's 'beti bachao-bahu lao' campaign as an attempt to create a wedge in society, Uttar Pradesh Minorities Commission today issued notice to Agra district administration and police and sought explanation about action taken against those behind it.
"It has come to our notice that Bajrang Dal is running 'beti bachao-bahu lao' campaign in Agra in which a particular community is being targeted to create animosity in the society.
"In the past, such attempts were made in the name of conversation. So it is necessary that strict action is taken against those vitiating communal harmony," Commission Chairman Shakil Ahmad said in a letter to Agra District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police.
"The commission wants to know what action has been taken against those running such campaign," Ahmad said asking the Agra administration to reply within a week.
It has come to the notice of the Commission through media reports that after raking "love jihad" and "ghar wapsi" issues, Bajrang Dal is running 'bahu lao-beti bachao' campaign in Agra, he said.
